pymel.core.modeling.nurbsSquare

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

The nurbsSquare command creates a square

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nurbsSquare

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# create degree 1 square with side length 2, center (0,0,0) on the
# x-y plane
pm.nurbsSquare( nr=(0, 0, 1), d=1, c=(0, 0, 0), sl1=2, sl2=2 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsSquare1'), nt.MakeNurbsSquare(u'makeNurbsSquare1')] #

# create degree 2 rectangle with length 2,4 at origin on the x-y plane
pm.nurbsSquare( d=2, nr=(0, 0, 1), c=(0, 0, 0), sl1=2, sl2=4 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsSquare2'), nt.MakeNurbsSquare(u'makeNurbsSquare2')] #

# create square of degree 3,side lengths 3, 4 spans per side
pm.nurbsSquare( nr=(0, 0, 1), c=(0, 0, 0), d=3, sl1=3, sl2=3, sps=4 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsSquare3'), nt.MakeNurbsSquare(u'makeNurbsSquare3')] #
