nurbsUVSet [-create] [-useExplicit boolean]
nurbsUVSet is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Allows user to toggle between implicit and explicit UVs on a NURBS object. Also
provides a facility to create, delete, rename and set the current explicit UVSet.
An implicit UVSet is non-editable. It uses the parametric make-up of the NURBS object
to determine the location of UVs (isoparm intersections). NURBS objects also support
explicit UVSets which are similar to the UVs of a polygonal object. UVs are created
at the knots (isoparm intersections) of the object and are fully editable. In order
to access UV editing capabilities on a NURBS object an explicit UVSet must be created
and set as the current UVSet.
| boolean | Success or Failure. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

-create(-c)
|
|
  
|
|
Creates an explicit UV set on the specified surface. If the surface already has an
explicit UV set this flag will do nothing. Use the -ue/useExplicit flag to set/unset
the explicit UV set as the current UV set.
|
|
-useExplicit(-ue)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Toggles the usage of explicit/implicit UVs. When true, explicit UVs will be used,
otherwise the object will use implicit UVs.
