pymel.core.modeling.stitchSurfacePoints

stitchSurfacePoints(*args, **kwargs)

The stitchSurfacePoints command aligns two or more surface points along the boundaries together to a single point. In the process, a node to average the points is created. The points are averaged together in a weighted fashion. The points may be control vertices along the boundaries. If the points are CVs then they are stitched together only with positional continuity. Note: No two points can lie on the same surface.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
bias (b)		float
	Blend Cvs in between input surface and result from stitch. A value of 0.0 returns the input surfaceDefault:1.0
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.Note:For advanced users only.
cascade (c)		bool
	Cascade the created stitch node. (Only if the surface has a stitch history)Default is ‘false’.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
cvIthIndex (ci)		int
	The ith boundary cv index on the input surfaceDefault:-1
cvJthIndex (cj)		int
	The jth boundary cv index on the input surfaceDefault:-1
equalWeight (ewt)		bool
	Assign equal weights to all the points being stitched together.Default is ‘true’. If false, the first point is assigned a weight of 1.0 and the rest are assigned 0.0.
fixBoundary (fb)		bool
	Fix Boundary Cvs while Solving for any G1 constraints.Default:falseAdvanced flags
keepG0Continuity (kg0)		bool
	Stitch together the points with positional continuity.Default is ‘true’.
keepG1Continuity (kg1)		bool
	Stitch together the points with tangent continuity.Default is ‘false’.
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
parameterU (u)		float
	The U parameter value on surface for a point constraint.Default:-10000
parameterV (v)		float
	The V parameter value on surface for a point constraintDefault:-10000
positionalContinuity (pc)		bool
	Toggle on(off) G0 continuous at edge corresponding to multi index.Default:true
replaceOriginal (rpo)		bool
	Create “in place” (i.e., replace)
stepCount (sc)		int
	Step count for the number of discretizations.Default:20
tangentialContinuity (tc)		bool
	Toggle on(off) G1 continuity across edge corresponding to multi index.Default:false
togglePointNormals (tpn)		bool
	Toggle on(off) normal point constraints on the surface.Default:false
togglePointPosition (tpp)		bool
	Toggle on(off) position point constraints on the surface.Default:true
toggleTolerance (tt)		bool
	Toggle on(off) so as to use Tolerance or specified steps for discretization.Default:false
tolerance (tol)		float
	Tolerance to use while discretizing the edgeDefault:0.1

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.stitchSurfacePoints

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# stitch together four corner control vertices to the average of the four corners.
pm.stitchSurfacePoints( 'nurbsPlane2.cv[0][0]', 'nurbsPlane1.cv[3][0]', 'nurbsPlane4.cv[0][3]', 'nurbsPlane3.cv[3][3]', ewt=True )

# stitch together two edit points to the edit point nurbsPlane2.ep[0][0].
pm.stitchSurfacePoints( 'nurbsPlane2.ep[0][0]', 'nurbsPlane1.ep[1][0]', ewt=False )
