Synopsis

polyEditUV([angle=float], [pivotU=float], [pivotV=float], [relative=boolean], [rotation=boolean], [scale=boolean], [scaleU=float], [scaleV=float], [uValue=float], [uvSetName=string], [vValue=float])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

polyEditUV is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

Command edits uvs on polygonal objects. When used with the query flag, it returns the uv values associated with the specified components.

Return value

boolean Success or Failure.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
relative(r) boolean createquery
Specifies whether this command is editing the values relative to the currently existing values. Default is true;
uValue(u) float createquery
Specifies the value, in the u direction - absolute if relative flag is false..
vValue(v) float createquery
Specifies the value, in the v direction - absolute if relative flag is false..
rotation(rot) boolean createquery
Specifies whether this command is editing the values with rotation values
scale(s) boolean createquery
Specifies whether this command is editing the values with scale values
pivotU(pu) float createquery
Specifies the pivot value, in the u direction, about which the scale or rotate is to be performed.
pivotV(pv) float createquery
Specifies the pivot value, in the v direction, about which the scale or rotate is to be performed.
scaleU(su) float createquery
Specifies the scale value in the u direction.
scaleV(sv) float createquery
Specifies the scale value in the v direction.
angle(a) float createquery
Specifies the angle value (in degrees) that the uv values are to be rotated by.
uvSetName(uvs) string createquery
Specifies the name of the uv set to edit uvs on. If not specified will use the current uv set if it exists.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# To query the u and v values of selected uvs:
cmds.polyEditUV( query=True )
# To tweak the u and v values of selected uvs:
cmds.polyEditUV( relative=True, uValue=0.05925926, vValue=0.05555556 )
# To set absolute values for u and v values of selected uvs:
cmds.polyEditUV( relative=True, uValue=0.556, vValue=0.56 )
# To rotate selected uv points about a pivot:
cmds.polyEditUV( pivotU=0.5, pivotV=0.5, angle=-15 )
# To scale selected uv points about a pivot:
cmds.polyEditUV( pivotU=0.5, pivotV=0.5, scaleU=-0.06, scaleV=-0.06 )
