This command converts poly components from one or more types to another one or more types, and returns the list of the conversion. It doesn’t change anything of the current database.
Long name (short name) | Argument Types | Properties | |
---|---|---|---|
border (bo) | bool | ||
|
|||
fromEdge (fe) | bool | ||
fromFace (ff) | bool | ||
fromUV (fuv) | bool | ||
fromVertex (fv) | bool | ||
fromVertexFace (fvf) | bool | ||
|
|||
internal (internal) | bool | ||
Indicates that the converted components must be totally envolved by the source components. E.g. a converted face must have all of its surrounding vertices being given. If it is not provided, the converted components will be the related ones. |

toEdge (te) | bool | ||
toFace (tf) | bool | ||
toUV (tuv) | bool | ||
toVertex (tv) | bool | ||
toVertexFace (tvf) | bool | ||
|
|||
vertexFaceAllEdges (vfa) | bool | ||
When converting from face vertices to edges, indicates that all edges with an end at the face vertex should be included. Without this flag, the default behaviour is to only include one edge per face vertex.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. |
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyListComponentConversion
Example:
import pymel.core as pm
import maya.cmds as cmds
# Convert the vertices to envolved poly face(s) and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg.vtx[5:6]', 'plg.vtx[9:10]', fv=True, tf=True, internal=True )
plg.f[4]
# Convert anything to related poly face(s) and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg.vtx[0]', 'plg.vtx[3]', 'plg.vtx[8]', tf=True )
plg.f[0] plg.f[2] plg.f[3] plg.f[6]
# Convert an object to faces and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg', tf=True )
plg.f[*]
# Convert vertices to faces on selectionList and list results.
pm.select( 'plg.vtx[0]', 'plg.vtx[3]', 'plg.vtx[8]', r=True )
pm.polyListComponentConversion( fv=True, tf=True )
plg.f[0] plg.f[2] plg.f[3] plg.f[6]
# Use several calls of the command to list edges in the order
# in which they appear in a face.
pm.polyPlane( w=1, h=1, sx=1, sy=1 )
# Will return the edges in numeric order:
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'pPlane1.f[0]', ff=True, te=True )
# Result: pPlane1.e[0:3]
# Now convert to vertexFace and then to edge to get the edges in the order they
# appear within the face:
vfList = pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'pPlane1.f[0]', ff=True, tvf=True )
vfList = pm.ls( vfList, flatten=True )
# Result: pPlane1.vtxFace[0][0] pPlane1.vtxFace[1][0] pPlane1.vtxFace[3][0] pPlane1.vtxFace[2][0]
for vf in vfList:
edge = pm.polyListComponentConversion( vf, fvf=True, te=True )
print edge
# Prints out the edges in the order they show up in the face.
pPlane1.e[0]
pPlane1.e[2]
pPlane1.e[3]
pPlane1.e[1]
# Illustrate the vertexFaceAllEdges flag
pm.polyPlane( w=1, h=1, sx=1, sy=1 )
pm.select( 'pPlane1.vtxFace[0][0]', r=True )
# Get the edge that originates at the selected face vertex
print pm.polyListComponentConversion( fvf=True, te=True )
# Result: pPlane1.e[0]
# Get both edges that adjoin the selected face vertex
print pm.polyListComponentConversion( fvf=True, te=True, vfa=True )
# Result: pPlane1.e[0:1]
