Synopsis

polySplitCtx2([adjustEdgeFlow=float], [constrainToEdges=boolean], [edgeMagnets=int], [exists=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [insertWithEdgeFlow=boolean], [snapTolerance=float], [snappedToEdgeColor=[float, float, float]], [snappedToFaceColor=[float, float, float]], [snappedToMagnetColor=[float, float, float]], [snappedToVertexColor=[float, float, float]])

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

polySplitCtx2 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

adjustEdgeFlow, constrainToEdges, edgeMagnets, exists, image1, image2, image3, insertWithEdgeFlow, snapTolerance, snappedToEdgeColor, snappedToFaceColor, snappedToMagnetColor, snappedToVertexColor
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
exists(ex) boolean 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.
Flags from nodes
adjustEdgeFlow(aef) float createqueryedit
The weight value of the edge vertices to be positioned.
constrainToEdges(cte) 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.
edgeMagnets(em) int createqueryedit
number of extra magnets to snap onto, regularly spaced along the edge
insertWithEdgeFlow(ief) boolean createqueryedit
True to enable edge flow. Otherwise, the edge flow is disabled.
snapTolerance(st) float createqueryedit
precision for custom magnet snapping. Range[0,1]. Value 1 means any click on an edge will snap to either extremities or magnets.
snappedToEdgeColor(sec) [float, float, float] createqueryedit
Color for edge snapping.
snappedToFaceColor(sfc) [float, float, float] createqueryedit
Color for face snapping.
snappedToMagnetColor(smc) [float, float, float] createqueryedit
Color for magnet snapping.
snappedToVertexColor(svc) [float, float, float] createqueryedit
Color for vertex snapping.

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 split context, then switch to it
cmds.polySplitCtx2('polySplitCtx2')
cmds.setToolTo('polySplitCtx2')
