nurbsUVSet [-create] [-useExplicit boolean]
nurbsUVSet is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Allows user to toggle between implicit and explicit UVs on a NURBS
object. Also provides a facility to create, delete, rename and set
the current explicit UVSet. An implicit UVSet is non-editable. It
uses the parametric make-up of the NURBS object to determine the
location of UVs (isoparm intersections). NURBS objects also support
explicit UVSets which are similar to the UVs of a polygonal object.
UVs are created at the knots (isoparm intersections) of the object
and are fully editable. In order to access UV editing capabilities
on a NURBS object an explicit UVSet must be created and set as the
current UVSet.
| boolean |
Success or Failure. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

-create(-c) |
|
   |
|
Creates an explicit UV set on the specified surface. If the
surface already has an explicit UV set this flag will do nothing.
Use the -ue/useExplicit flag to set/unset the explicit UV set as
the current UV set. |
|
-useExplicit(-ue) |
boolean |
|
|
Toggles the usage of explicit/implicit UVs. When true, explicit
UVs will be used, otherwise the object will use implicit UVs. |
