-viewColor(-vc) float float float float createqueryedit
Specifies the background color for the stereoscopic model editor. The default value is black which provides optimal stereoscopic viewing.
-activeSupported(-ams) query
True if the viewer is capable of drawing in active mode which takes advantage of the graphics card's built-in stereoscopic support. This includes support for shutter glasses and stereo support in clone mode.
-swapEyes(-se) createqueryedit
Swap the display of the left and right cameras. The left camera becomes the right draw pass and the right camera becomes the left draw pass.
This flag is intended for advanced users, for situations where the hardware uses the opposite left/right convention.
Common model editor flags
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-defineTemplate(-dt) string create
Puts a command in a mode where any other flags and args are parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument. They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent invocations of the command when templateName is set as the current template.
-useTemplate(-ut) string create
Force the command to use a command template other than the current one.
-panel(-pnl) string createquery
Specifies the panel that the editor belongs to. By default if an editor is created in the create callback of a scripted panel it will belong to that panel. If an editor doesn't belong to a panel it will be deleted when the window that it is in is deleted.
-parent(-p) string createqueryedit
Specifies the parent layout for this editor. This flag will only have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented.
-unParent(-up) createedit
Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout. This cannot be used with query.
-control(-ctl) query
Query only. Returns the top level control for this editor. Usually used for getting a parent to attach popup menus. Caution: It is possible, at times, for an editor to exist without a control. This flag returns "NONE" if no control is present.
-mainListConnection(-mlc) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object.
-forceMainConnection(-fmc) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object. This is a variant of the -mainListConnection flag in that it will force a change even when the connection is locked. This flag is used to reduce the overhead when using the -unlockMainConnection , -mainListConnection, -lockMainConnection flags in immediate succession.
-selectionConnection(-slc) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its own selection list. As the user selects things in this editor, they will be selected in the selectionConnection object. If the object undergoes changes, the editor updates to show the change.
-highlightConnection(-hlc) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its highlight list. Not all editors have a highlight list. For those that do, it is a secondary selection list.
-filter(-f) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of an itemFilter object to be placed on this editor. This filters the information coming onto the main list of the editor.
-lockMainConnection(-lck) createedit
Locks the current list of objects within the mainConnection, so that only those objects are displayed within the editor. Further changes to the original mainConnection are ignored.
-stateString(-sts) query
Query only flag. Returns the MEL command that will edit an editor to match the current editor state. The returned command string uses the string variable $editorName in place of a specific name.
-unlockMainConnection(-ulk) createedit
Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic updates.
-updateMainConnection(-upd) createedit
Causes a locked mainConnection to be updated from the orginal mainConnection, but preserves the lock state.
-docTag(-dtg) string createqueryedit
Attaches a tag to the Maya editor.
-camera(-cam) string queryedit
Change or query the name of the camera in model editor.

Sets the lighting for shaded mode. Possible values are "selected", "active", "all", "default", "none".
-bufferMode(-bm) string queryedit
Sets the graphic buffer mode. Possible values are "single" or "double".
-activeOnly(-ao) boolean queryedit
Sets whether only active objects should appear shaded in shaded display.
-interactive(-i) queryedit
Causes this command to modify the interactive refresh settings of the view. In this way it is possible to change the behavior of the model editor during playback for improved performance.
-default(-d) queryedit
Causes this command to modify the default value of this setting. Newly created model editors will inherit the values. This flag may be used with the -interactive to set default interactive settings.
-ignorePanZoom(-ipz) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will ignore the 2D pan/zoom value to give an overview of the scene.
-twoSidedLighting(-tsl) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off two sided lighting. This may be used with the -default flag.
-displayAppearance(-da) string queryedit
Sets the display appearance of the model panel. Possible values are "wireframe", "points", "boundingBox", "smoothShaded", "flatShaded". This flag may be used with the -interactive and -default flags. Note that only "wireframe", "points", and "boundingBox" are valid for the interactive mode.
-wireframeOnShaded(-wos) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will draw the wireframe on all shaded objects (if true) or only for active objects (if false).
-headsUpDisplay(-hud) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will draw any enabled heads up display elements in this window (if true). Currently this requires the HUD elements to be globally enabled.
-selectionHiliteDisplay(-sel) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will draw any selection hiliting on the objects in this window.
-useDefaultMaterial(-udm) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will draw all the shaded surfaces using the default material as opposed to using the material(s) currently assigned to the surfaces.
-useColorIndex(-uci) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will attempt to use color index mode when possible. Color index mode can provide a performance increase for point, bounding box, and wireframe display modes. This may be used with the -default flag.
-userNode(-un) string queryedit
Allows the user to associate a node name with the modelEditor. The value is automatically updated in the event the node is deleted or renamed.
-wireframeBackingStore(-wbs) boolean queryedit
Sets whether a backing store is used to optimization the drawing of active objects. This mode can provide a performance increase in wireframe mode for certain scenes.
-useRGBImagePlane(-ip) boolean queryedit
Sets whether the model panel will be forced into RGB mode when there is an image plane attached to the panel's camera.
-imagePlane(-imp) boolean queryedit
Turn on/off the display of image plane for the view
-updateColorMode(-ucm) edit
Using this flag tells the model panel to check which color mode it should be in, and to switch accordingly. This flag may be used to update a model panel after a camera image plane has been added or removed.
-colorMap(-cm) query
Queries the color map style for the model panel. Possible values are "colorIndex" and "rgb".
-backfaceCulling(-bfc) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off backface culling for the whole view. This setting overrides the culling settings of individual objects. All objects draw in the view will be backface culled. When backface culling is turned on, surfaces becomes invisible in areas where the normal is pointing away from the camera.

Turns on or off Xray mode. This may be used with the -default flag.
-jointXray(-jx) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off Xray mode for joints.
-activeComponentsXray(-acx) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off Xray mode for active components.
-maxConstantTransparency(-mct) float queryedit
Sets the maximum constant transparency. Setting this value remaps constant transparency values from the range [0.0, 1.0] to the range [0.0, maxConstantTransparency]. All transparency values are shifted linearly to the new range, so a fully transparency object (transparency 1.0) would appear with a transparency of maxConstantTransparency in the viewport, allowing highly transparent objects to be made visible. This flag only affects constant (non-textured) transparent objects.
-displayTextures(-dtx) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off display of textures in shaded mode
-smoothWireframe(-swf) boolean queryedit
Turns on or off smoothing of wireframe lines and points
-lineWidth(-lw) float queryedit
Set width of lines for display
-textureMaxSize(-tms) int queryedit
Set maximum texture size for hardware texturing. The integer value must be a power of 2. Recommended values are 128 or 256. If the value specified is larger than the OpenGL maximim textures size for the graphics hardware it will be clamped to the OpenGL size. If many large textures are used in a scene reducing this value improves performance. On Impact texture memory is pinned in RAM so using large textures can cause reliability and performance problems. Again reducing this value will help. Software rendering does not use this value.

This flag is obsolete as of Maya 6.5. The maxTextureResolution/mtr argument on the displayPref command should be used instead.

-textureMemoryUsed(-tmu) query
Returns the total number of bytes used by all texture maps. This is typicly width*height*channels for all texture objects in the scene If the texture is mip mapped all mip map levels are included in the total though not never more than two level will be in use at one time

  • 1 : means to perform point sample
  • 2 : means to perform bilinear interpolation (default)
-textureDisplay(-td) string queryedit
Set the type of blending to use for textures. The blend is performed between the destination fragment and the texture fragment. The source is usually the material color. Argument options are: "modulate" : multiply the destination and texture fragment "decal" : overwrite the destination with the texture fragment
-textureHilight(-th) boolean queryedit
Set whether to show specular hilighting when the display is in shaded textured mode.
-fogging(-fg) boolean queryedit
Set whether hardware fogging is enabled or not.
-fogSource(-fsc) string queryedit
Set the type of fog algorithm to use. If the argument is "fragment" (default) then fog is computed per pixel. If the argument is "coordinate" then if the geometry has specified vertex fog coordinates, and the OpenGL extension for vertex fog is supported by the graphics system, then fog is computed per vertex.
-fogMode(-fmd) string queryedit
This determines the drop-off mode for fog. The possibilities are:
  • "linear" : linear drop-off
  • "exponent" : exponential drop-off
  • "exponent2" : squared exponential drop-off
