polyDelVertex [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int]
polyDelVertex is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Deletes vertices.
Joins two edges which have a common vertex.
The vertices must be connected to exactly two edges (so-called "winged").
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

| Common flags |
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Give a name to the resulting node.
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If
construction history is on then the corresponding node will be
inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history
is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.
Note: If the object already has construction history then
this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into
the history chain.
|
|
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Defines how to evaluate the node.
- 0: Normal
- 1: PassThrough
- 2: Blocking
- 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled
- 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled
- 5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabled
