Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
multiProfileBirailSurface is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profiles using two
rail curves. The two rails are the last two arguments. For examples,
if 5 curves are specified, they will correspond to "curve1" "curve2"
"curve3" "rail1" "rail2".
In this case, the cmd creates a railed surface by sweeping the profile
"curve1" to profile "curve2", profile "curve2" to profile "curve3"
along the two rail curves "rail1", "rail2". There must be atleast 3
profile curves followed by the two rail curves. The profile curves
must intersect the two rail curves. The constructed may be made
tangent continuous to the first and last profile using the flags -tp1,
-tp2 provided the profiles are surface curves i.e. isoparms, curve on
surface or trimmed edge.

Argument types |
Properties |
tangentContinuityProfile1(tp1)
|
boolean
|
  
|
|
Tangent continuous across the first profile. The profile must be a surface curve.
Default: false
|
|
tangentContinuityProfile2(tp2)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Tangent continuous across the last profile. The profile must be a surface curve.
Default: false
|
|
transformMode(tm)
|
int
|
|
|
transform mode ( Non proportional, proportional ). Non proportional is default value.
Default: 0
|
|
| Advanced flags |
caching(cch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
nodeState(nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
| Common flags |
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
constructionHistory(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off
|
|
object(o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node
|
|
polygon(po)
|
int
|
|
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
