polyListComponentConversion [-border] [-fromEdge]
[-fromFace] [-fromUV] [-fromVertex] [-fromVertexFace] [-internal] [-toEdge]
[-toFace] [-toUV]
[-toVertex] [-toVertexFace] selectionItem[]
polyListComponentConversion is undoable, NOT queryable,
and NOT editable.
This command converts poly components from one or more types to
another one or more types, and returns the list of the conversion.
It doesn't change anything of the current database.

objects. |

|
Indicates the component type to convert to. If none of them is
provided, it is assumed to the object. |
|
-internal(-in) |
|
|
|
Indicates that the converted components must be totally
envolved by the source components. E.g. a converted face must have
all of its surrounding vertices being given. If it is not provided,
the converted components will be the related ones. |
|
-border(-bo) |
|
|
|
Indicates that the converted components must be on the border
of the selection. If it is not provided, the converted components
will be the related ones. |
