pymel.core.modeling.polyProjectCurve

polyProjectCurve(*args, **kwargs)

The polyProjectCurve command creates curves by projecting a selected curve onto a selected poly mesh. The direction of projection will be the current view direction unless the direction vector is specified with the -direction/-d flag.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
addUnderTransform (aut)		bool
automatic (automatic)		bool
baryCoord (bc)		float, float, float
baryCoord1 (bc1)		float
baryCoord2 (bc2)		float
baryCoord3 (bc3)		float
caching (cch)		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	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.
curveSamples (cs)		int
direction (d)		float, float, float
directionX (dx)		float
directionY (dy)		float
directionZ (dz)		float
face (f)		int
name (n)		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds)		int
	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.
object (o)		bool
pointsOnEdges (poe)		bool
tolerance (tol)		float
triangle (t)		int

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyProjectCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# create a poly plane in the z axis
poly = pm.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=10, sy=10, ax=(0,0,1), cuv=2, ch=1)

# create a nurbs circle also in the z axis
nurbs = pm.circle(ch=1, o=1, r=2, nr=(0,0,1))

# and project it onto the poly plane along the z axis
results = pm.polyProjectCurve(poly[0], nurbs[0], direction=(0,0,1))
