subdToBlind([absolutePosition=boolean], [includeCreases=boolean], [includeZeroOffsets=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
subdToBlind is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
The subdivision surface hierarchical edits will get copied into blind
data on the given polygon. The polygon face count and topology
must match the subdivision surface base mesh face count and topology.
If they don't, the blind data will still appear, but is not guaranteed
to produce the same result when converted back to a subdivision surface.
The command takes a single subdivision surface and a single polygonal
object. Additional subdivision surfaces or polygonal objects will be
ignored.

includeZeroOffsets(izo)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If set, the zero offset will get included in the blind data. This will
greatly increase the size of the blind data, but will also let you keep
all created vertices in the conversion back to polys. This flag does
not change the behaviour for the vertices up to and including level 2
as they're always created. If not set, only the edited vertices will
be included in the blind data. This will still maintain the shape of
your object faithfully. The default is false.

|
includeCreases(ic)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If set, the creases get transfered as well. With it false, the subdivision
surface created from the blind data + polygon will have lost all the craese
information. The default is false.
|
|
absolutePosition(ap)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If set to true, the hierarchical edits are represented as the point positions,
not the point offsets. Most of the time, this is not desirable, but if you're
just going to be merging/deleting a bunch of things and not move any vertices,
then you could set it to true. False is the default and saves the offsets.
