Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
angle (ang)	angle (double)	30.0deg
Smoothing angle. An angle value greater than "angle", means that the edges are rendered hard; otherwise, they are rendered soft.
anisotropy (a)	double	0.5
Set the map anisotropy in [0..1], applied only when adaptive target edge length is used. The map anisotropy value controls how much the map stretches along the minimum principal curvature direction over cylindrical regions where there is a notable deviation between the minimum and maximum principal curvatures. The effect of this stretch is that the exported quads become more rectangular, thus representing more efficiently cylindrical regions. A value of 0 means that the map does not stretch at all, therefore the exported quads are square-shaped. At the opposite end of the range, a value of 1 forces the map to stretch as much as possible. The actual lengths of the stretch are controlled by the min/max target edge length.
axis (an)	enum	0
Symmetry plane normal direction.
axisOffset (ao)	distance (float)	0.0cm
Custom symmetry axis position
axisPosition (ap)	enum	0
Symmetry plane position type selection.
useFeatureTags (uft)	bool	0
If true, component tags matching the names contained in the featureTags attribute will be used as feature edges.
curveInfluenceDirection (cid)	double	0.01
Set the extent of curve (feature) influence on the cross-field.
curveSingularitySeparation (css)	double	0.1
This controls how closely singularities can be placed in vicinity of boundaries and features.
edgesByAngle (eba)	bool	0
If true, edges are preserved based on the specified angle tolerance between adjacent face normals.
featureTags (ft)	string	nullptr
Contains the comma separated list of tag names defining the feature edges
interactiveMode (imd)	bool	0
Set to true if being edited with an interactive tool
pivot (p)	double3	0.0, 0.0, 0.0
The scale pivot point of the actual transform. We use it as symmetry plane center in Object mode.
pivotX (px) distance (double) 0.0cm Translation X coord.
pivotY (py) distance (double) 0.0cm Translation Y coord.
pivotZ (pz) distance (double) 0.0cm Translation Z coord.
preprocessMesh (pm)	bool	1
If true, the input mesh will be quickly triangulated to a smaller number of faces to make the final remeshing faster.
preprocessedMesh (ppm)	mesh	nullptr
Output preprocessed mesh object
preserveHardEdges (phe)	bool	0
If true, will flag all hard edges from the input mesh as edges that should be in the resulting mesh.
topologyRegularity (trg)	double	0.5
Lower regularity will produce a mesh with fewer singularities, but may smooth over details. Higher regularity will prduce more singularities, but capture details better.
shortEdgeTolerance (se)	distance (double)	0.0001cm
An edge shorter than this value will be consider a short edge.
symmetry (sym)	bool	0
If enabled, a symmetric mesh will be generated.
symmetryEdges (sme)	componentList	nullptr
Input border edge components that should be used for plane of symmetry.
targetEdgeDeviation (ted)	double	0.2929
Set the target edge deviation (TED) in (0..1] of the quad mesh edges relative to the smallest work mesh local shape feature radius. Larger TED values lead to coarser quad meshes, but if adaptivity is low, they can miss or under-sample the shape. Conversely, smaller values lead to higher fidelity, but denser output quad meshes.
targetFaceCount (tfc)	integer	0
Set the desired target face count for the output quad mesh If this is zero, the target edge length will control the density of the result.
targetFaceCountTolerance (tft)	integer	10
The tolerance is a percentage value indicating how close to the desired number . of quads is required. Meaning, the acceptable target face count will be between targetFaceCount +/- (targetFaceCount * (targetFaceCountTolerance / 100)) Target face count is not guaranteed and can be an expensive computation, so this tolerance value is important to keep at a suitable level. Setting this attribute to much less than 10 percent can cause performance problems on meshes with many singularities.
thinTriangleAngleTolerance (tt)	angle (double)	1.0deg
Angle in radian. A triangle with an agle lower than this will be consider a thin triangle.
faceUniformity (fun)	double	0.0
Face uniformity controls the extent to which the map local metric depends on the local shape curvature. The range extremes cause the following behavior: 1: Leads to a globally uniform map that does not adapt at all to the local curvature. The local curvature at each face in both u and v directions equals on the bounding sphere curvature. Consequently, the map becomes completely isotropic, uniform, and may under-sample small shape features and align them incorrectly if the target settings are not set carefully. 0: Leads to a highly adaptive map that adjusts everywhere to the local curvature, and therefore captures even the smallest shape features.
