pymel.core.modeling.polyExtrudeEdge

static modeling.polyExtrudeEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Extrude edges separately or together.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	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.
createCurve (cc)		bool
divisions (d)		int
	This flag specifies the number of subdivisions. C: Default is 1 Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
gain (ga)		float
inputCurve (inc)		PyNode
	This flag specifies the name of the curve to be used as input for extrusion C: The selected edges will be extruded along the curve. It will be useful to set a higher value (greater than 4) for the ‘-d/-divisions’ flag, to get good results. The normal of the surface has to be aligned with the direction of the curve. The extrusion is evenly distributed in the curve’s parameter space, and not on the curve’s geometry space

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Separate
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', w=10, h=10 )
pm.polyExtrudeEdge( 'plg.e[71:72]', 'plg.e[81:82]', kft=False,, ltz=2, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
# Edges are extruded then scaled separately
pm.delete( 'plg' )


# Together
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', w=10, h=10 )
pm.polyExtrudeEdge( 'plg.e[71:72]', 'plg.e[81:82]', kft=True, ltz=2, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
# Edges are extruded then scaled together
