Synopsis

skinBindCtx [-about string] [-axis string] [-colorRamp string] [-currentInfluence int] [-displayInactiveMode int] [-displayNormalized boolean] [-exists] [-falloffCurve string] [-history boolean] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-name string] [-symmetry boolean] [-tolerance float] string

skinBindCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a tool that can be used to edit volumes from an interactive bind.

Return value

string The name of the context created

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

Flags

about, axis, colorRamp, currentInfluence, displayInactiveMode, displayNormalized, exists, falloffCurve, history, image1, image2, image3, name, symmetry, tolerance
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool associated with the context.
-history(-ch) boolean create
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
-name(-n) string create
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-colorRamp(-cr) string createqueryedit
Set the values on the color ramp used to display the weight values.
-falloffCurve(-fc) string createqueryedit
Set the values on the falloff curve control.
-displayInactiveMode(-di) int createqueryedit
Determines the display mode for drawing volumes that are not selected, in particular which volume cages if any are displayed. 0 - None 1 - Nearby volumes 2 - All volumes
-displayNormalized(-dn) boolean createqueryedit
Display raw select weights (false) or finalized normalized weights (true).
-currentInfluence(-ci) int createqueryedit
Set the index of the current influence or volume to be adjusted by the manipulator.
-symmetry(-s) boolean createqueryedit
Controls whether or not the tool operates in symmetric (mirrored) mode.
-axis(-ax) string createqueryedit
The mirror axis. Valid values are: "x","y", and "z".
-about(-a) string createqueryedit
The space in which the axis should be mirrored. Valid values are: "world" and "object".
-tolerance(-t) float createqueryedit
The tolerance setting for determining whether another influence is symmetric to the the current influence.
