pymel.core.modeling.blend2

static modeling.blend2(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a surface by blending between given curves. This is an enhancement (more user control) compared to blend which is now obsolete.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
autoAnchor (aa)		bool
	If true and both paths are closed, automatically determine the value on the right rail so that they match Default:true
autoNormal (an)		bool
	If true, the direction of each starting tangent is computed based on given geometry. Default:true
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
crvsInFirstRail (cfr)		int
flipLeftNormal (fln)		bool
	If true, flip the starting tangent off the left boundary. Default:false
flipRightNormal (frn)		bool
	If true, flip the starting tangent off the right boundary. Default:false
leftAnchor (la)		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface starts in the case of the closed rail. Default:0.0
leftEnd (le)		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface ends. Default:1.0
leftStart (ls)		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface starts. Default:0.0
multipleKnots (mk)		bool
	If true, use the new blend which produces fully multiple interior knots Default:true
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object
nodeState (nds)		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Common flags
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node
polygon (po)		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
positionTolerance (pt)		float
	The positional C(0) tolerance of the blend surface to the adjacent surfaces. Default:0.1
reverseLeft (rvl)		bool
	If true, reverse the direction off the left boundary. autoDirection must be false for this value to be considered. Default:false
reverseRight (rvr)		bool
	If true, reverse the direction of the right boundary. autoDirection must be false for this value to be considered. Default:false Advanced flags
rightAnchor (ra)		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface starts in the case of the closed rail. Default:0.0
rightEnd (re)		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface ends. Default:1.0
rightStart (rs)		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface starts. Default:0.0
tangentTolerance (tt)		float
	The tangent G(1) continuity tolerance of the blend surface to the adjacent surfaces. Default:0.1

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.blend2

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Do blend with auto normal and with no history:
pm.blend2( an=True, ch=False )

# Do blend without auto normal
pm.blend2( an=False, fln=True, frn=True )
