pymel.core.general.partition

partition(*args, **kwargs)

This command is used to create, query or add/remove sets to a partition. If a partition name needs to be specified, it is the first argument, other arguments represent the set names. Without any flags, the command will create a partition with a default name. Any sets which are arguments to the command will be added to the partition. A set can be added to a partition only if none of its members are in any of the other sets in the partition. If the -re/render flag is specified when the partition is created, only ‘renderable’ sets can be added to the partition. Sets can be added and removed from a partition by using the -addSet or -removeSet flags. Note:If a set is already selected, and the partition command is executed, the set will be added to the created partition.

Flags:

• addSet : add (PyNode) [create]

  Adds the list of sets to the named partition.

• name : n (unicode) [create]

  Assigns the given name to new partition. Valid only for create mode.

• removeSet : rm (PyNode) [create]

  Removes the list of sets from the named partition. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

• render : re (bool) [create,query]

  New partition can contain render sets. For use in creation mode only. Default is false. Can also be used with query flag - returns boolean.
