pymel.core.modeling.tolerance

tolerance(*args, **kwargs)

This command sets tolerances used by modelling operations that require a tolerance, such as surface fillet. Linear tolerance is also known as “positional” tolerance. Angular tolerance is also known as “tangential” tolerance. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
angular (a) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Sets the angular, or “tangential” tolerance.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
linear (l) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Sets the linear, or “positonal” tolerance.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tolerance

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.tolerance( linear=0.02 )# sets the tolerance to 0.02, in the current unit
pm.tolerance( linear='0.02cm' )# sets the tolerance to 0.02 cm
pm.tolerance( angular='0.02rad' )# sets the angle tolerance to 0.02 radians
pm.tolerance( q=True, linear=True )# returns the current tolerance in the current unit
# Result: 0.02 #
pm.tolerance( q=True, angular=True )# returns the current tolerance in the current unit
# Result: 1.1459155902616465 #
