polyMergeEdgeCtx [-activeNodes] [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-immediate] [-mergeMode int] [-name string] [-previous] [-reset] [-toolNode]

polyMergeEdgeCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to merge edges on polygonal objects

Return value

None

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

Flags

activeNodes, exists, image1, image2, image3, immediate, mergeMode, name, previous, reset, toolNode
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool associated with the context.
-name(-n) string create
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-activeNodes(-anq) query
Return the active nodes in the tool
-toolNode(-tnq) query
Return the node used for tool defaults
-immediate(-im) edit
Acts on the object not the tool defaults
-reset(-rs) edit
Reset to default values
-previous(-pv) edit
Reset to previously stored values
