pymel.core.nodetypes.AlignSurface

class AlignSurface(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function alignSurface

The surface align command is used to align surfaces in maya. The main alignment options are positional, tangent and curvature continuity. Curvature continuity implies tangent continuity. NOTE: this tool is based on Studio’s align tool. Positional continuity means the surfaces (move) or the ends of the surfaces (modify) are changed. Tangent continuity means one of the surfaces is modified to be tangent at the points where they meet. Curvature continuity means one of the surfaces is modified to be curvature continuous as well as tangent. The default behaviour, when no surfaces or flags are passed, is to only do positional and tangent continuity on the active list with the end of the first surface and the start of the other surface used for alignment.
