pymel.core.modeling.polyCacheMonitor¶

polyCacheMonitor(*args, **kwargs)¶

When the cacheInput attribute has a positive value the midModifier node caches the output mesh improving performance in computations of downstream nodes. When the counter has a zero value the midModifier releases the cached data.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
cacheValue / chv		bool
	Flag to indicate whether the node’s cache counter should be incremented or decremented. True increments the counter, false decrements the counter.
nodeName / nm		unicode
	Name of the node whose cache counter needs to be changed. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyCacheMonitor

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# increment cache counter on polyExtrudeFace1 node
pm.polyCacheMonitor( nodeName='polyExtrudeFace1' )
# update/edit manipulate nodes which are present downstream
# with respect to polyExtrudeFace1
# decrement cache counter on polyExtrudeFace1 node
# so that the cache is set free
pm.polyCacheMonitor( nodeName='polyExtrudeFace1', cacheValue=False )
