Flags

action, level, relative
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-action(-a) int create
Specifies the query parameter: 1 = find all tweaked verticies at level 2 = find all sharpened vertices at level 3 = find all sharpened edges at level 4 = find all faces at level If the attribute "level" is not specified then the query is applied to the current component display level. If the attribute level is specified then the query is applied to that level, either absolute or relative to the current level based on the "relative" flag state.
-level(-l) int create
Specify the level of the subdivision surface on which to perform the operation.
-relative(-r) boolean create
If set, level flag refers to the level relative to the current component display level.

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

// find all tweaked verticies at current level
querySubdiv -a 1;

// find all tweaked verticies one level finer than current level
querySubdiv -a 1 -l 1 -r on;

// find all creased verticies at current level
querySubdiv -a 2;

// find all creased edges at current level
querySubdiv -a 3;

// find all faces at current level.
// You should work with the subdivision surface shape.
//
querySubdiv -a 4 subdivShape1;

// find all faces at level 1.
//
querySubdiv -a 4 -level 1 -relative off subdivShape1;

// find all faces at the next finest level from the current one.
//
querySubdiv -a 4 -level 1 -relative on subdivShape1;
