subdCollapse(
[string]
, [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [level=int], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
subdCollapse is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command converts a takes a subdivision surface, passed as the
argument, and produces
a subdivision surface with a number of hierarchy levels "removed".
Returns the name of the subdivision surface created and optionally
the DG node that does the conversion.
| string[] | The subd surface and optionally the dependency node name |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
