nurbsPlane([axis=[linear, linear, linear]], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean],
[degree=int], [lengthRatio=float], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [patchesU=int], [patchesV=int], [pivot=[linear, linear, linear]], [polygon=int], [width=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
nurbsPlane is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The nurbsPlane command creates a new NURBS Plane and return the
name of the new surface. It creates an unit plane with center at
origin by default.

|
|
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)
