pymel.core.modeling.polyUVRectangle

polyUVRectangle(*args, **kwargs)

Given two vertices, does one of the following: 1) If the vertices define opposite corners of a rectangular area of quads, assigns a grid of UVs spanning the 0-1 area to that rectangle. 2) If the vertices define an edge in a rectangular and topologically cylindrical area of quads, assigns UVs spanning the 0-1 area to that cylindrical patch, using the defined edge as the U=0 edge.

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.
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.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Opening up the textureView will make this example much easier to visualize.

# make a cylinder
pm.polyCylinder( r=1, h=2, sx=20, sy=10, sz=1, ax=(0,1,0), rcp=0, cuv=3, ch=1 )

# map a 3x2 area of faces to the 0-1 UV square
pm.polyUVRectangle( 'pCylinderShape1.vtx[115]', 'pCylinderShape1.vtx[57]' )

# map a 2x20 ring of faces to the 0-1 UV square
pm.polyUVRectangle( 'pCylinderShape1.vtx[136]', 'pCylinderShape1.vtx[176]' )
