pymel.core.modeling.nurbsPlane

nurbsPlane(*args, **kwargs)

The nurbsPlane command creates a new NURBS Plane and return the name of the new surface. It creates an unit plane with center at origin by default.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
axis (ax)		float, float, float
	The primitive’s axisAdvanced flags
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
degree (d)		int
	The degree of the resulting surface 1 - linear, 2 - quadratic, 3 - cubic, 5 - quintic, 7 - hepticDefault:3
lengthRatio (lr)		float
	The ratio of “length” to “width” of the plane.Default:1.0
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.
nodeState (nds)		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.Common flags
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node
patchesU (u)		int
	The number of spans in the U direction.Default:1
patchesV (v)		int
	The number of spans in the V direction.Default:1
pivot (p)		float, float, float
	The primitive’s pivot point
polygon (po)		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
width (w)		float
	The width of the planeDefault:1.0

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nurbsPlane

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create default plane
pm.nurbsPlane()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #

# Create a degree 3 plane with 4 spans in each direction
pm.nurbsPlane( d=3, u=4, v=4 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane2'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane2')] #

# Create plane that is twice as long as it is wide
pm.nurbsPlane( w=3, lr=2 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane3'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane3')] #
