pymel.core.nodetypes.ProjectTangent

class ProjectTangent(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function projectTangent

The project tangent command is used to align (for tangents) a curve to two other curves or a surface. A surface isoparm may be selected to define the direction (U or V) to align to. The end of the curve must intersect with these other objects. Curvature continuity may also be applied if required. Tangent continuity means the end of the curve is modified to be tangent at the point it meets the other objects. Curvature continuity means the end of the curve is modified to be curvature continuous as well as tangent. If the normal tangent direction is used, the curvature continuity and rotation do not apply. Also, curvature continuity is only available if align to a surface (not with 2 curves).

getCaching(**kwargs)

Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.projectTangent

getCurvature(**kwargs)

Curvature continuity is on if true and off otherwise.Default:false

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.projectTangent

getCurvatureScale(**kwargs)

Curvature scale applied to curvature of curve to align. Available if curvature option is true.Default:0.0
