Synopsis

nurbsToPolygonsPref([chordHeight=float], [chordHeightRatio=float], [delta3D=float], [edgeSwap=boolean], [format=uint], [fraction=float], [matchRenderTessellation=uint], [merge=uint], [mergeTolerance=float], [minEdgeLen=float], [polyCount=uint], [polyType=uint], [uNumber=uint], [uType=uint], [useChordHeight=boolean], [useChordHeightRatio=boolean], [vNumber=uint], [vType=uint])

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

nurbsToPolygonsPref is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

This command sets the values used by the nurbs-to-polygons (or "tesselate") preference. This preference is used by Maya menu items and is saved between Maya sessions. To query any of the flags, use the "-query" flag. For more information on the flags, see the node documentation for the "nurbsTessellate" node.

Return value

None

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