pymel.core.nodetypes.Partition

class Partition(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function partition

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.
