Synopsis

polySplitCtx [-enablesnap boolean] [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-magnetsnap int] [-precsnap float] [-smoothingangle angle] [-snaptoedge boolean] [-subdivision int]

polySplitCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to split facets on polygonal objects

Return value

None

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

Flags

enablesnap, exists, image1, image2, image3, magnetsnap, precsnap, smoothingangle, snaptoedge, subdivision
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-enablesnap(-es) boolean createqueryedit
Enable/disable custom magnet snapping to start/middle/end of edge
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-magnetsnap(-ms) int createqueryedit
number of extra magnets to snap onto, regularly spaced along the edge
-precsnap(-ps) float createqueryedit
precision for custom magnet snapping. Range[0,100]. Value 100 means any click on an edge will snap to either extremities or magnets.
-smoothingangle(-sma) angle createqueryedit
the threshold that controls whether newly created edges are hard or soft
-snaptoedge(-ste) boolean createqueryedit
Enable/disable snapping to edge. If enabled any click in the current face will snap to the closest valid edge. If there is no valid edge, the click will be ignored. NOTE: This is different from magnet snapping, which causes the click to snap to certain points along the edge.
-subdivision(-s) int createqueryedit
number of sub-edges to add between 2 consecutive edge points. Default is 1.

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.

// Create a poly plane
polyPlane -w 10 -h 10 -sx 1 -sy 1 -n pPlane1;

// Create a new poly split context, then switch to it
polySplitCtx polySplitCtx1;
