MeshSubdivideWithCenter

Generates a subdivided mesh from an input mesh and positions its center at the same center as the one of its input mesh.

The subdivided mesh is a smoothed version of the input mesh.

The input parameters are the same as the ones for ApplyOp.

Doing ApplyOp "MeshSubdivide" will generate a subdivided mesh with its center at the origin. This is currently the default for all generator operators.

MeshSubdivideWithCenter	MeshSubdivideWithCenter operator preset
MeshSubdivide	MeshSubdivide operator preset

ConnectionSet

Objects to apply subdivide to. See OpPreset for details on the connection set required for this operator.

Note: Because this is an in/out parameter, any string (variable or value) you pass into this parameter is automatically converted to a ConnectionSet object.

Default Value: No default.

Warning: An error occurs if the connection set is invalid. Please verify the connection set required for this operator to avoid breaking your scripts.

siOperationMode

Specifies whether or not the operator should be immediately frozen.

Default Value: siPersistentOperation

GenOpInputsDisposal
