Synopsis

polyCreateFacetCtx [-append boolean] [-maximumNumberOfPoints int] [-planarConstraint boolean] [-subdivision int]

polyCreateFacetCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

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

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-subdivision(-s)	int
number of sub-edges created for each new edge. Default is 1.
-planarConstraint(-pc)	boolean
allows/avoid new facet to be non-planar. If on, all new points will be projected onto current facet plane.
-append(-ap)	boolean
Allows to switch to polyAppendFacetCtx tool
-maximumNumberOfPoints(-mp)	int
Allows the ability to set a upper bound on the number of points in interactively place before polygon is created. A value less than 2 will mean that there is no upper bound.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// Create a new poly facet create context, set it to add four vertices per new edge, then switch to it
polyCreateFacetCtx -s 4 polyCreateFacetCtx1;
setToolTo polyCreateFacetCtx1;
