pymel.core.modeling.polySplitRing

polySplitRing(*args, **kwargs)

Splits a series of ring edges of connected quads and inserts connecting edges between them.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
adjustEdgeFlow (aef)		float
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.
direction (dr)		bool
	The direction to associate the absoluteWeights on the edge. By toggling the boolean value, the new edges can be positioned either to the start or the end vertex of the edge thats split.Default is on
divisions (div)		int
	If the splitType is set to 2 then this is used to control how many new edge loops are inserted. This number has to be at least 1.
enableProfileCurve (epc)		bool
fixQuads (fq)		bool
insertWithEdgeFlow (ief)		bool
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.
profileCurveInputOffset (pio)		float
profileCurveInputScale (pis)		float
profileCurve_FloatValue (pfv)		float
profileCurve_Interp (pi)		int
profileCurve_Position (pp)		float
rootEdge (re)		int
	The edge id of the object, to be used as a reference for the flags absoluteWeight and direction.Default is -1
smoothingAngle (sma)		float
	Subdivide new edges will be soft if less then this angle.Default is 180.0Common flags
splitType (stp)		int
	Choose between 3 different types of splits. If this is set to 0 then the split type will be absolute. This is where each of the splits will maintain an equal distance from the associated vertices. If this set to 1 then the split type will be relative. This is where each split will be made at an equal percentage along the length of the edge. If this is set to 2 then the edge will be split one or more times. The number of times is controlled by the -div/-divisions flag. For an absolute or relative type of split the user can adjust the weight to position where the split occurrs. If the split is a multi split then the splits will be spaced out evenly.
useEqualMultiplier (uem)		bool
useFaceNormalsAtEnds (fne)		bool
weight (wt)		float
	The weight value of the new vertex to be positioned at the first edge. The same weight value is used for all the edges split.Default is 0.5
worldSpace (ws)		bool

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polySplitRing

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.polyCube()
pm.select('pCube1.e[0:3]')
pm.polySplitRing( sma=180, wt=0.2)
