pymel.core.general.MeshVertex

class MeshVertex(*args, **kwargs)

connectedEdges()

Return type:MeshEdge list

connectedFaces()

Return type:MeshFace list

connectedVertices()

Return type:MeshVertex list

geomChanged()

Reset the geom pointer in the MItMeshVertex . If you’re using MFnMesh to update Normals or Color per vertex while iterating, you must call geomChanged on the iteratior immediately after the MFnMesh call to make sure that your geometry is up to date. A crash may result if this method is not called. A similar approach must be taken for updating upstream vertex tweaks with an MPlug . After the update, call this method.

getColor(*args, **kwargs)

getColorIndices(colorSetName=None)

This method returns the colorIndices into the color array see MFnMesh::getColors() of the current vertex.

Parameters :

colorSetName : unicode

Name of the color set.

Return type:

int list

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MItMeshVertex.getColorIndices

getColors(colorSetName=None)

This method gets the colors of the current vertex for each face it belongs to. If no colors are assigned to the vertex at all, the return values will be (-1 -1 -1 1). If some but not all of the vertex/face colors have been explicitly set, the ones that have not been set will be (0, 0, 0, 1).

Parameters :

colorSetName : unicode

Name of the color set.

Return type:

Color list

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MItMeshVertex.getColors

getNormal(space='preTransform')

Return the normal or averaged normal if unshared of the current vertex.

Parameters :

space : Space.Space

The transformation space.

values: ‘transform’, ‘preTransform’, ‘object’, ‘world’

Return type:

Vector

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MSpace.getNormal

getNormalIndices()

This method returns the normal indices of the face/vertex associated with the current vertex.

Return type:int list

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MItMeshVertex.getNormalIndices

getNormals(space='preTransform')

Return the normals of the current vertex for all faces

Parameters :

space : Space.Space

The transformation space.

values: ‘transform’, ‘preTransform’, ‘object’, ‘world’

Return type:

Vector list

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MSpace.getNormals

getPosition(space='preTransform')

Return the position of the current vertex in the specified space. Object space ignores all transformations for the polygon, world space includes all such transformations.

Parameters :
