Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
bottomLeft (bl) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Positions the cube in the bottom left of the screen.
bottomRight (br) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Positions the cube in the bottom right of the screen.
compassAngle (ca) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Angle (in degrees) to rotate the compass.
dragSnap (ds) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Enable snapping of orbit direction to view cube part directions during drag operation.
drawCompass (dc) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Show compass below the view cube.
fitToView (ftv) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Fits the scene bounding box to the active view.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
frontParameters (fp) unicode  
   
goDefault (gd) bool  
   
goHome (gh) bool  
   
homeParameters (hp) unicode  
   
levelCamera (lc) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Flattens the camera view rotation relative to the ground plane.
minOpacity (mo) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Opacity level (in range [0,1]) on view cube when the cursor is away from it (it is fully opaque when the cursor is in the view cube area).
namespace (ns) unicode  
   
postCommand (p) unicode  
   
preCommand (pr) unicode  
   
preserveSceneUp (psu) bool  
   
resetFront (rf) bool  
   
resetHome (rh) bool  
   
restoreCenter (rc) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Repositions the pivot point for orbiting/tumbling the scene to the center of the scene’s bounding box.
selectionLockParameters (slp) unicode  
   
setFront (sf) bool  
   
setHome (sh) bool  
   
size (s) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 

Set or query the size of the View Cube, which can be one of “tiny”, “small”, “normal”, “large” or “auto”. When set to “auto” the View Cube will be automatically set to the size most appropriate for the view.

toggleSelectionLock (tsl) bool  
   
topLeft (tl) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Positions the cube in the top left of the screen.
topRight (tr) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Positions the cube in the top right of the screen.
visible (v) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Shows/hides the view manip.
zoomToFitScene (zf) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Zoom the camera during animated transitions to fit the scene object in the viewport.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.viewManip

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#Position the view cube in the top left of the screen and set it to fully opaque
pm.viewManip(topLeft=True, minOpacity=1)
