pymel.core.modeling.freeFormFillet

freeFormFillet(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a free form surface fillet across two surface trim edges or isoparms or curve on surface. The fillet surface creation has blend controls in the form of bias and depth. The bias value scales the tangents at the two ends across the two selected curves. The depth values controls the curvature of the fillet across the two selected curves. The default values of depth, bias are 0.5 and 0.5 respectively.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.freeFormFillet

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create the fillet across a curve on surface and surface isoparm.
pm.nurbsPlane( ch=True, o=True, po=0, ax=(0, 1, 0), w=11, lr=1 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.circle( ch=True, o=True, nr=(0, 1, 0), r=3.79518 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsCircle1'), nt.MakeNurbCircle(u'makeNurbCircle1')] #
pm.projectCurve( 'nurbsCircle1', 'nurbsPlane1', ch=False, rn=False, un=False, tol=0.01 )
# Result: [nt.CurveVarGroup(u'nurbsPlaneShape1->projectionCurve1')] #
pm.nurbsPlane( p=(0, 6, 0), ax=(0, 1, 0), w=11, lr=1 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane2'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane2')] #
pm.freeFormFillet( 'nurbsPlaneShape1-"projectionCurve1_1', 'nurbsPlane2.v[1.0]', ch=True, bias=0.0, depth=0.5, po=True )
[u'freeformFilletSurface1', u'ffFilletSrf1']

pm.trim( 'nurbsPlaneShape1', 'projectionCurve1_Shape1', ch=True, o=True, rpo=True, lu=0.2, lv=0.2 )
[u'nurbsPlaneShape1', u'trim1']
# Fillet across a surface trim edge boundary and surface isoparm.
