pymel.core.modeling.nurbsSelect

nurbsSelect(*args, **kwargs)

Performs selection operations on NURBS objects.If any of the border flags is set, then the appropriate borders are selected. Otherwise the current CV selection is used, or all CVs if the surfaces is selected as an object.The growSelection, shrinkSelection, borderSelection flags are then applied in that order.In practice, it is recommended to use one flag at a time, except for the border flags.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
borderSelection (bs) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Extract the border of the current CV selection.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
bottomBorder (bb) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Selects the bottom border of the surface (V=0).
growSelection (gs) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Grows the CV selection by the given number of CV
leftBorder (lb) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Selects the left border of the surface (U=0).
rightBorder (rb) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Selects the right border of the surface (U=MAX).
shrinkSelection (ss) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Shrinks the CV selection by the given number of CV
topBorder (tb) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Selects the top border of the patches (V=MAX).

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nurbsSelect

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a Nurbs plane.
pm.nurbsPlane( u=5, v=7 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
# Select it top and bottom CVs.
pm.nurbsSelect( topBorder=True, bottomBorder=True )
# Expand the selection to 3 rows.
pm.nurbsSelect( growSelection=3 )
# Select only the outline of the rows.
pm.nurbsSelect( borderSelection=True )
