pymel.core.modeling.polyMergeFacet

polyMergeFacet(*args, **kwargs)

The second face becomes a hole in the first face.The new holed face is located either on the first, last, or between both selected faces, depending on the mode. Both faces must belong to the same object.Facet flags are mandatory.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	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.
firstFacet (ff)		int
	The number of the first (outer) face to merge.
mergeMode (mm)		int
	This flag specifies how faces are merged: 0: moves second face to first one 1: moves both faces to average 2: moves first face to second one 3, 4, 5: same as above, except faces are projected but not centred 6: Nothing moves.C: Default is None (6).
name (n)		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds)		int
	Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledFlag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
secondFacet (sf)		int
	The number of the second (hole) face to merge.Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyMergeFacet

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.polyPlane( n='plg', h=10, w=10, sx=5, sy=5 )
pm.polyChipOff( 'plg.f[16]', 'plg.f[18]', 'plg.f[7]', dup=1, ltz=1, ls=(.5, .5, .5) )

# First
pm.polyMergeFacet( 'plg', mm=0, ff=16, sf=26 )
# A new face with face #16 as an outer loop and face #26 as a hole
# is replacing faces #16 and #26, and is located on face #16

# Between
pm.polyMergeFacet( 'plg', mm=1, ff=7, sf=25 )
# A new face with face #7 as an outer loop and face #25 as a hole
# is replacing faces #7 and #25, and is located in between.

# Last
pm.polyMergeFacet( 'plg', mm=2, ff=18, sf=25 )
# A new face with face #18 as an outer loop and face #25 as a hole
# is replacing faces #18 and #25, and is located on face #25
