polyProjectCurve [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean]
[-name string] [-nodeState int] curve poly
polyProjectCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The polyProjectCurve command creates curves by projecting a
selected curve onto a selected poly mesh. The direction of
projection will be the current view direction unless the direction
vector is specified with the -direction/-d flag.

Properties |
| 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
