polyMergeFacet [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean]
[-firstFacet int] [-mergeMode int] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-secondFacet int]
polyMergeFacet is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The second face becomes a hole in the first face.
The new holed face is located either on the first, last, or between
both selected faces, depending on the mode. Both faces must belong
to the same object.
Facet flags are mandatory.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
-mergeMode(-mm) |
int |
   |
|
This flag specifies how faces are merged: 0: moves second face
to first one 1: moves both faces to average 2: moves first face to
second one 3, 4, 5: same as above, except faces are projected but
not centred 6: Nothing moves.
C: Default is None (6). |
|
-firstFacet(-ff) |
int |
|
|
The number of the first (outer) face to merge. |
|
-secondFacet(-sf) |
int |
|
|
The number of the second (hole) face to merge. |
|
| Common flags |
-name(-n) |
string |
|
|
Give a name to the resulting node. |
|
-constructionHistory(-ch) |
boolean |
|
|
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 |
|
|
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is
needed |
|
-nodeState(-nds) |
int |
|
|
Defines how to evaluate the node.
- 0: Normal
- 1: PassThrough
- 2: Blocking
- 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when
enabled
- 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when
enabled
- 5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when
enabled
