[list=boolean], [name=string], [noScale=boolean], [toSkeleton=boolean], [type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
flexor is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a flexor. A flexor a deformer plus a set of
driving attributes. For example, a flexor might be a sculpt object
that is driven by a joint's x rotation and a cube's y position.

Argument types |
Properties |
type(typ) |
string |
 |
|
Specifies which type of flexor. To see list of valid types, use
the "flexor -query -list" command. |
|
deformerCommand(dc) |
string |
|
|
String representing underlying deformer command string. |
|
atJoints(aj) |
boolean |
|
|
Add a flexor at joints. Flexor will be added at each of the
selected joints, or at all joints in the selected skeleton if the
-ts flag is specified. |
|
atBones(ab) |
boolean |
|
|
Add a flexor at bones. Flexor will be added at each of the
selected bones, or at all bones in the selected skeleton if the -ts
flag is also specified. |
|
toSkeleton(ts) |
boolean |
|
|
Specifies that flexors will be added to the entire skeleton
rather than just to the selected joints/bones. This flag is used in
conjunction with the -ab and -aj flags. |
|
list(l) |
boolean |
 |
|
List all possible types of flexors. Query mode only. |
|
noScale(ns) |
boolean |
|
|
Do not auto-scale the flexor to the size of the nearby
geometry. |
|
name(n) |
string |
