pymel.core.nodetypes.OffsetCurve

class OffsetCurve(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function offsetCurve

The offset command creates new offset curves from the selected curves. The connecting type for breaks in offsets is off (no connection), circular (connect with an arc) or linear (connect linearly resulting in a sharp corner). If loop cutting is on then any loops in the offset curves are trimmed away. For the default cut radius of 0.0 a sharp corner is created at each intersection. For values greater than 0.0 a small arc of that radius is created at each intersection. The cut radius value is only valid when loop cutting is on. Offsets (for planar curves) are calculated in the plane of that curve and 3d curves are offset in 3d. The subdivisionDensity flag is the maximum number of times the offset object can be subdivided (i.e. calculate the offset until the offset comes within tolerance or the iteration reaches this maximum.) The reparameterize option allows the offset curve to have a different parameterization to the original curve. This avoids uneven parameter distributions in the offset curve that can occur with large offsets of curves, but is more expensive to compute.
