Synopsis

stitchSurface( [surfaceIsoparm] [surfaceIsoparm] , [bias=float], [caching=boolean], [cascade=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [cvIthIndex=int], [cvJthIndex=int], [fixBoundary=boolean], [keepG0Continuity=boolean], [keepG1Continuity=boolean], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [numberOfSamples=int], [object=boolean], [parameterU=float], [parameterV=float], [positionalContinuity=boolean], [replaceOriginal=boolean], [stepCount=int], [tangentialContinuity=boolean], [togglePointNormals=boolean], [togglePointPosition=boolean], [toggleTolerance=boolean], [tolerance=linear], [weight0=float], [weight1=float])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

stitchSurface is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
positionalContinuity(pc)	boolean
Toggle on(off) G0 continuous at edge corresponding to multi index. Default: true
tangentialContinuity(tc)	boolean
Toggle on(off) G1 continuity across edge corresponding to multi index. Default: false
toggleTolerance(tt)	boolean
Toggle on(off) so as to use Tolerance or specified steps for discretization. Default: false
tolerance(tol)	linear
Tolerance to use while discretizing the edge Default: 0.1
stepCount(sc)	int
Step count for the number of discretizations. Default: 20
parameterU(u)	float
The U parameter value on surface for a point constraint. Default: -10000
parameterV(v)	float
The V parameter value on surface for a point constraint Default: -10000
togglePointNormals(tpn)	boolean
Toggle on(off) normal point constraints on the surface. Default: false
togglePointPosition(tpp)	boolean
Toggle on(off) position point constraints on the surface. Default: true
cvIthIndex(ci)	int
The ith boundary cv index on the input surface Default: -1
cvJthIndex(cj)	int
The jth boundary cv index on the input surface Default: -1
bias(b)	float
Blend Cvs in between input surface and result from stitch. A value of 0.0 returns the input surface Default: 1.0
fixBoundary(fb)	boolean
Fix Boundary Cvs while Solving for any G1 constraints. Default: false
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
replaceOriginal(rpo)	boolean
Create "in place" (i.e., replace)
weight0(wt0)	float
The weighting factor for the first edge. Default is 0.5.
weight1(wt1)	float
The weighting factor for the second edge. Default is 0.5.
numberOfSamples(ns)	int
The number of samples on the edge. Default is 20.
keepG0Continuity(kg0)	boolean
Stitch together with positional continuity. Default is 'true'.
keepG1Continuity(kg1)	boolean
Stitch together with tangent continuity. Default is 'false'.
cascade(c)	boolean
Cascade the created stitch node. (Only if the surface has a stitch history) Default is 'false'.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Stitch the two surfaces along the two specified surface isoparam with C0 continuity.
# Since wt0 = 0.0, both the surfaces are stitched to surface2.vn[0] really.
cmds.stitchSurface( 'surface1.vn[1.0]', 'surface2.vn[0.0]', kg0=False, kg1=True, cascade=False, ns=100, wt0=0.0, wt1=1.0 )
