Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
baseFaceCount (bfc)	integer	0
The number of base mesh faces
cached (cc)	subdivisionSurface	nullptr
Used to store an internal copy of the surface for faster evaluation
displayLevel (dl)	enum	0
The level at which components (vertices, edges, faces...) will be displayed. Valid values are 0=Base through 13=Finest.
displayFilter (dfl)	enum	0
Determines whether diplay includes components "edited" or "visited" at the current display level. Valid values are 0=Edited, 1=Visited, or 2=All.
dispCreases (dcr)	bool	boolfalse
This attribute currently has no effect in Maya.
dispEdges (de)	bool	boolfalse
Controls explicit edge display
dispFaces (df)	bool	boolfalse
Controls explicit face display
dispGeometry (dg)	bool	booltrue
Controls explicit geometry display
dispMaps (dm)	bool	boolfalse
Controls explicit UV texture map co-ordinates display
dispResolution (dr)	integer	int1
Controls resolution at which surface is displayed
dispUVBorder (db)	bool	boolfalse
Controls explicit UV texture map border display
dispVertices (dv)	bool	boolfalse
Controls explicit CV display
dispVerticesAsLimitPoints (dvl)	bool	boolfalse
Control Display of vertices as Limit Points on Surface. Conditional on display vertices.
edgeCrease (ecr)	subdivEdgeCrease	nullptr
Edge creases
faceUVIds (fuv)	subdivFaceUVIds	nullptr
Face corner UV Ids. Explicit UVs on subdiv surfaces are stored on a per-face per-vertex basis. This attribute is used to specify the UV ids on a per-face per-vertex for each UV set that exists on the surface. The values on this attribute are to be used in conjunction with the UVSetPoints attribute defined in the parent controlPointShape class, since that attribute holds on to the uv values corresponding to these ids.
localizeLimitPointsEdit (llp)	bool	boolfalse
Localize edit of more than one limit point. Conditional on display vertices as limit points.
normalsDisplayScale (ndf)	double	double1.0
Specifies the scaling factor for the surface normal display.
levelOneFaceCount (ofc)	integer	0
The number of faces at level 1
outSubdiv (o)	subdivisionSurface	nullptr
The output subdivision surface.
scalingHierarchy (sh)	enum	1
Controls how scaling of coarser vertices affects finer ones. When set to "Propagate", scaling applied to coarser vertices is propagated to those at finer levels of the hierarchy. This has the effect of making hierarchically-added geometric features scale with the surface as coarser vertices are manipulated. When this attribute is set to "Ignore", scaling applied to coarser vertices is ignored at finer levels of the hierarchy. This has the effect of making hierarchically-added geometric features maintain their size as the rest of the surface is manipulated. Note that this attribute has no effect on scaling applied to the entire object via transforms anywhere above it in the DAG, only to vertices of the surface via component manipulation or (indirectly) via deformations applied to vertices.
create (cr)	subdivisionSurface	nullptr
The input subdivision surface in local space.
depth (d)	integer	int2
The depth at which constant-depth tessellates the surface
format (f)	enum	1
Format: 0 - Uniform, 1 - Adaptive (Leaf Level)
sampleCount (sc)	integer	int4
The number of samples per face
textureCoord (uvs)	subdivTextCoord	nullptr
Texture Coordinates
vertex (vt)	compound	n/a
The attribute for the vertices
singleVertex (svt) double3 The attribute for the vertices singleVertexX (svx) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertices singleVertexY (svy) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertices singleVertexZ (svz) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertices
vertexTweak (vtw)	compound	n/a
The attribute for the vertex tweaks on shapes with history
singleVertexTweak (stw) double3 The attribute for the vertex tweaks on shapes with history singleVertexTweakX (stwx) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertex tweaks on shapes with history - x value singleVertexTweakY (stwy) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertex tweaks on shapes with history - y value singleVertexTweakZ (stwz) distance (double) 0cm The attribute for the vertex tweaks on shapes with history - z value
worldSubdiv (ws)	subdivisionSurface	nullptr
The output subdivision surface in world space.
