polySelectEditCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Create a new context to select and edit polygonal objects
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
adjustEdgeFlow(aef)
|
float
|
  
|
|
The weight value of the edge vertices to be positioned.
Default: 1.0f
|
|
divisions(div)
|
int
|
|
|
Number of divisions.
Default: 2
|
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
fixQuads(fq)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Fixes splits which go across a quad face leaving a 5 and 3
sided faces by splitting from the middle of the new edge to
the vertex accross from the edge on the 5 sided face.
Default: false
|
|
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.
|
|
insertWithEdgeFlow(ief)
|
boolean
|
|
|
True to enable edge flow. Otherwise, the edge flow is disabled.
Default: false
|
|
smoothingAngle(sma)
|
angle
|
|
|
Angle below which new edges will be smoothed
Default: kPi
|
|
splitType(stp)
|
int
|
|
|
Format: 0 - Absolute, 1 - Relative, 2 - Multi
Default: TdnpolySplitRing::Relative
|
|
useEqualMultiplier(uem)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Changes how the profile curve effects the offset when doing
a multisplit. If true then the verts will be offset the same distance
based on the shortest edge being split. If false then each inserted
edge loop will be offset a distance relative to the length of the edge
that is being split.
Default: true
|
|
| Flags from nodes |
absoluteOffset(abo)
|
boolean
|
|
|
This flag is deprecated. Use splitType/stp instead.
This flag is deprecated. Use splitType/stp instead.
|
|
autoComplete(ac)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true then use auto completion on selections
|
|
deleteEdge(de)
|
boolean
|
|
|
When true, the end edges are deleted so the end triangles are converted to quads.
|
|
endVertexOffset(evo)
|
float
|
|
|
Weight value controlling the offset of the end vertex of the edgeloop.
|
|
mode(m)
|
int
|
|
|
which mode to work on. Available modes are 1-loop and 2-ring
|
|
startVertexOffset(svo)
|
float
|
|
|
Weight value controlling the offset of the start vertex of the edgeloop.
