pymel.core.modeling.polyExtrudeEdge

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 1Q: 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 extrusionC: The selected edges will be extruded along the curve.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# 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) )
