Synopsis

polyCreateFacetCtx [-append boolean] [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-maximumNumberOfPoints int] [-planarConstraint boolean] [-subdivision int] [-texture int]

polyCreateFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-append(-ap)	boolean
Allows to switch to polyAppendFacetCtx tool
-exists(-ex)
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1)	string
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2)	string
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3)	string
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-maximumNumberOfPoints(-mp)	int
Allows the ability to set a upper bound on the number of points in interactively place before polygon is created. A value less than 2 will mean that there is no upper bound.
-planarConstraint(-pc)	boolean
allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar. If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet plane.
-subdivision(-s)	int
Number of subdivisions for each edge. Default: 1
-texture(-tx)	int
What texture mechanism to be applied 0=No textures, 1=Normalized, Undistorted textures 2=Unitized textures Default: 0

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// Create a new poly facet create context, set it to add four vertices per new edge, then switch to it
polyCreateFacetCtx -s 4 polyCreateFacetCtx1;
setToolTo polyCreateFacetCtx1;
