Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
polyListComponentConversion is undoable, NOT queryable,
and NOT editable.
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.

fromVertex(fv) |
boolean |
 |
|
|
fromEdge(fe) |
boolean |
|
|
|
fromUV(fuv) |
boolean |
|
|
|
fromFace(ff) |
boolean |
|
|
|
fromVertexFace(fvf) |
boolean |
|
|
Indicates the component type to convert from. If none of them
is provided, it is assumed to be all of them, including poly
objects. |
|
toVertex(tv) |
boolean |
|
|
|
toEdge(te) |
boolean |
|
|
|
toUV(tuv) |
boolean |
|
|
|
toFace(tf) |
boolean |
|
|
|
toVertexFace(tvf) |
boolean |
|
|
Indicates the component type to convert to. If none of them is
provided, it is assumed to the object. |
|
internal(internal) |
boolean |
|
|
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. |
|
border(bo) |
boolean |
|
|
Indicates that the converted components must be on the border
of the selection. If it is not provided, the converted components
will be the related ones. |
|
vertexFaceAllEdges(vfa) |
boolean |
|
|
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. |
