pymel.core.modeling.polyPoke

polyPoke(*args, **kwargs)

Introduces a new vertex in the middle of the selected face, and connects it to the rest of the vertices of the face.

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
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.

localTranslate (lt) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the local face coordinate.
localTranslateX (ltx) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the local face coordinate along X.
localTranslateY (lty) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the local face coordinate along Y.
localTranslateZ (ltz) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the local face coordinate along Z.
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.

translate (t) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the world space.
translateX (tx) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the world space along X.
translateY (ty) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the world space along Y.
translateZ (tz) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
translate the new vertex in the world space along Z.
worldSpace (ws) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies if the operation has to be performed in the world space or not.Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyPoke

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# To poke all the faces of a polyCube...
#
pm.polyCube( w=1, h=1, d=1, sx=1, sy=1, sz=1, ax=(0, 1, 0), tx=1, ch=1, n='pCube' )
pm.polyPoke( 'pCube.f[0:5]', ch=1 )

# To poke all the faces of a polyCube, and pull the
# new vertices by one unit along the face normal
#
pm.polyCube( w=1, h=1, d=1, sx=1, sy=1, sz=1, ax=(0, 1, 0), tx=1, ch=1, n='pCubePull' )
pm.polyPoke( 'pCubePull.f[0:5]', ltx=0, lty=0, ltz=1, ch=1 )
