Synopsis

nurbsToPolygonsPref [-chordHeight float] [-chordHeightRatio float] [-delta3D float] [-edgeSwap boolean] [-format uint] [-fraction float] [-matchRenderTessellation uint] [-merge uint] [-mergeTolerance float] [-minEdgeLen float] [-polyCount uint] [-polyType uint] [-uNumber uint] [-uType uint] [-useChordHeight boolean] [-useChordHeightRatio boolean] [-vNumber uint] [-vType uint]

nurbsToPolygonsPref is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

This command sets the values used by the nurbs-to-polygons (or "tesselate") preference. This preference is used by Maya menu items and is saved between Maya sessions. To query any of the flags, use the "-query" flag. For more information on the flags, see the node documentation for the "nurbsTessellate" node.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
