polyEdgeToCurve

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

This node produces a curve based on the selected poly edges. History is preserved so that changes to the mesh are propogated to the curve.

conformToSmoothMeshPreview, degree, displaySmoothMesh, form, inputComponents, inputMat, inputPolymesh, inputSmoothPolymesh, outputcurve, smoothLevel

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
conformToSmoothMeshPreview (usm)	bool	true
If true will create a curve that follows the mesh when it is in Smooth Mesh Preview mode.
degree (dg)	enum	3
The degree of the resulting curve. 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - heptic
displaySmoothMesh (dsm)	enum	0
Connected to the input mesh in order to track what display mode it is in. If the mesh is in Smooth Mesh display mode, and useSmoothMesh attribute is true, then the generated curve will follow the smoothed mesh instead of the input base mesh.
form (f)	enum	2
Specifies whether this curve is to be periodic or not. Best guess will create a periodic curve if the edges form a closed loop and will create an open curve if not.
inputMat (im)	matrix	identity
Input world transformation matrix. Also a multi-attribute. Each input poly object must have a corresponding inputMat.
inputPolymesh (ipm)	mesh	nullptr
The input surface
inputSmoothPolymesh (ism)	mesh	nullptr
The smoothed input surface.
inputComponents (ics)	componentList	nullptr
Input components that this node is to work on.
outputcurve (oc)	nurbsCurve	nullptr
The output curve
smoothLevel (lev)	short	2
The level of smoothing to perform on the mesh.
