pymel.core.modeling.duplicateSurface

duplicateSurface(*args, **kwargs)

The duplicateSurface command takes a surface patch (face) and and returns the 3D surface. Connected patches are returned as a single surface.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable)
faceCountU (fcu)		int
faceCountV (fcv)		int
firstFaceU (ffu)		int
firstFaceV (ffv)		int
local (l)		bool
	Copy the transform of the surface and connect to the local space version instead.
mergeItems (mi)		bool
name (n)		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
nodeState (nds)		int
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node (where applicable)

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.duplicateSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.nurbsPlane( u=4, v=3 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.duplicateSurface( 'nurbsPlane1.sf[1:2][0:1]', ch=True, o=True )
# Result: [u'duplicatedSurface1', u'subSurface1'] #

# Duplicates 4 faces of a nurbs plane.
