polyCopyUV [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-createNewMap boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-uvSetName string] [-uvSetNameInput string] [selectionList]

polyCopyUV is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Copy some UVs from a UV set into another.

Return value

string The node name.

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

Flags

caching, constructionHistory, createNewMap, name, nodeState, uvSetName, uvSetNameInput
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-uvSetNameInput(-uvi) string createqueryedit
Specifies name of the input uv set to read the UV description from. Default is the current UV set.
-createNewMap(-cm) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when set true will create a new map with a the name passed in, if the map does not already exist.
-uvSetName(-uvs) string createqueryedit
Specifies name of the output uv set to modify. Default is the current UV set.
Common flags
-name(-n) string create
Give a name to the resulting node.
-constructionHistory(-ch) boolean createquery
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.
Note: If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
-caching(-cch) boolean createedit
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
-nodeState(-nds) int createqueryedit
Defines how to evaluate the node.
