pymel.core.effects.runup

static effects.runup(*args, **kwargs)

runup plays the scene through a frame of frames, forcing dynamic objects to evaluate as it does so. If no max frame is specified, runup runs up to the current time.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
cache (cch)		bool
	Cache the state after the runup.
fromPreviousFrame (fpf)		bool
	Run up the animation from the previously evaluated frame. If no flag is supplied this is the default.
fromStartFrame (fsf)		bool
	Run up the animation from the start frame. If no flag is supplied -fromPreviousFrame is the default.
maxFrame (mxf)		time
	Ending time for runup, in current user time units. The runup will always start at the minimum start frame for all dynamic objects.
state (st)		bool
	Turns runup and cache on/off. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.runup

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.runup( mxf=10, cache=True )

# Starts at the minimum start frame of all dynamic objects
# and plays through to frame 10.  This guarantees that the system
# is in the same state it would be as if you had rewound and played
# forward from frame 0.  The state of the dynamic object(s) will be
# cached after the runup.
