stitchSurface is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The stitchSurface command aligns two surfaces together to be G(0) and/or G(1) continuous by ajusting only the Control Vertices of the surfaces. The two surfaces can be stitched by specifying the two isoparm boundary edges that are to stitched together. The edge to which the two surfaces are stitched together is obtained by doing a weighted average of the two edges. The weights for the two edges is specified using the flags -wt0, -wt1 respectively.

Return value

string[]Object name and node name

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Advanced flags
-caching(-cch) boolean createqueryedit
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
-nodeState(-nds) int createqueryedit
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.

Common flags
-name(-n) string create

-weight0(-wt0) float create
The weighting factor for the first edge.
Default is 0.5.
-weight1(-wt1) float create
The weighting factor for the second edge.
Default is 0.5.
-numberOfSamples(-ns) int create

Default is 20.
-keepG0Continuity(-kg0) boolean create
Stitch together with positional continuity.
Default is 'true'.
-keepG1Continuity(-kg1) boolean create
Stitch together with tangent continuity.
Default is 'false'.
-cascade(-c) boolean create
Cascade the created stitch node. (Only if the surface has a stitch history)
Default is 'false'.

// Since wt0 = 0.0, both the surfaces are stitched to surface2.vn[0] really.
