create (cr) nurbsCurveNULLoutputinputconnectable
Create in local space. Construction history operations put the result in this attribute.
local (l) nurbsCurveNULLoutputconnectable
Curve in local space to be used in subsequent operations
worldSpace (ws) nurbsCurveNULLarrayoutputconnectable
Curve in world space (indexed by the instance number)to be used in subsequent operations
worldNormal (wn) double3arrayoutputconnectable

cached (cc) nurbsCurveNULLoutputinputconnectablestorable
Cached curve Defines geometry of the curve. The properties are defined in this order: First line: degree, number of spans, form (0=open, 1=closed, 2=periodic), rational (yes/no), dimension Second line: number of knots, list of knot values Third line: number of CVs Fourth and later lines: CV positions in x,y,z (and w if rational)
inPlace (ipo) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
In place with history
dispCV (dcv) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Controls explicit CV display
dispEP (dep) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Controls explicit edit point display
dispHull (dh) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Controls explicit hull display
dispCurveEndPoints (dce) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablehidden
Controls explicit display of curve start and end points during curve draw.
dispGeometry (dg) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorable
Controls explicit geometry display
tweakSize (ts) integer-1outputinputconnectable
What was the topology when we tweaked
minMaxValue (mmv) double2outputconnectable
Compound attribute holding the minValue and maxValue. See the children attributes for explanation.
minValue (min) double0.0outputconnectable
Parameter range min
maxValue (max) double0.0outputconnectable
Parameter range max
