Synopsis

polyCreaseCtx([createSet=string], [exists=boolean], [extendSelection=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [relative=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

polyCreaseCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to crease components on polygonal objects

Return value

None

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

Flags

createSet, exists, extendSelection, image1, image2, image3, relative
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
createSet(cs) string edit
Creates a set for the selected components.
exists(ex) boolean create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
extendSelection(es) boolean createqueryedit
Enable/disable extending selection to all connected creased components.
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.
relative(r) boolean createqueryedit
Enable/disable applying value relative to existing crease value. If disabled, absolute value is applied.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a poly plane
cmds.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=1, sy=1, n='pPlane1')

# Create a new poly crease context, then switch to it
cmds.polyCreaseCtx('polyCreaseCtx1')
cmds.setToolTo('polyCreaseCtx1')
