pymel.core.modeling.polyDelEdge

polyDelEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Deletes selected edges, and merges neighboring faces. If deletion leaves winged vertices, they may be deleted as well.Notice : only non border edges can be deleted.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
caching (cch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
cleanVertices (cv) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If on : delete resulting winged vertices.C: Default is “off”.Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.Common flags
constructionHistory (ch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 

Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.

name (n) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledFlag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyDelEdge

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Without cleanup
pm.polyPlane( n='plg1', w=10, h=10 )
pm.move( -6, 0, 0 )
pm.select( 'plg1.e[26]', 'plg1.e[28]', 'plg1.e[30]', 'plg1.e[32]', 'plg1.e[34]', 'plg1.e[36]', 'plg1.e[38]', 'plg1.e[47]', 'plg1.e[49]', 'plg1.e[51]', 'plg1.e[53]', 'plg1.e[55]', 'plg1.e[57]', 'plg1.e[59]' )
pm.polyDelEdge( cv=False )

# With cleanup
pm.polyPlane( n='plg2', w=10, h=10 )
pm.move( 6, 0, 0 )
pm.select( 'plg2.e[26]', 'plg2.e[28]', 'plg2.e[30]', 'plg2.e[32]', 'plg2.e[34]', 'plg2.e[36]', 'plg2.e[38]', 'plg2.e[47]', 'plg2.e[49]', 'plg2.e[51]', 'plg2.e[53]', 'plg2.e[55]', 'plg2.e[57]', 'plg2.e[59]' )
pm.polyDelEdge( cv=True )

pm.select( 'plg1', 'plg2' )
pm.polyOptions( ao=True, dv=True )
