pymel.core.nodetypes.PoleVectorConstraint

class PoleVectorConstraint(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function poleVectorConstraint

Constrains the poleVector of an ikRPsolve handle to point at a target object or at the average position of a number of targets. An poleVectorConstraint takes as input one or more “target” DAG transform nodes at which to aim pole vector for an IK handle using the rotate plane solver. The pole vector is adjust such that the in weighted average of the world space position target objects lies is the “rotate plane” of the handle.

getName(**kwargs)

Sets the name of the constraint node to the specified name. Default name is constrainedObjectName_constraintType

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.poleVectorConstraint

getTargetList(**kwargs)

Return the list of target objects.

getWeight(**kwargs)

Sets the weight value for the specified target(s). If not given at creation time, the default value of 1.0 is used.

getWeightAliasList(**kwargs)

Returns the names of the attributes that control the weight of the target objects. Aliases are returned in the same order as the targets are returned by the targetList flag

layer(val=True, **kwargs)

Specify the name of the animation layer where the constraint should be added.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

remove(val=True, **kwargs)

removes the listed target(s) from the constraint.
