Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
polyForceUV is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
A set of functionalities can be called through this command. The
input for this command is a set of faces. Based on the arguments
passed, the UVs for these selected faces can be created.
Project UVs based on the camera: (UV creation)
Based on the current view direction/orientation, the UVs are
generated and assigned to the faces. Any previously assigned UV
information will be lost.
Best Plane Projection: (UV creation)
The UVs are computed based on the plane defined by the user, and is
applied to the selected faces. This tool has 2 phases. In the first
phase, the faces to be mapped (faces to which UVs are to be
created) are selected. In the second phase, the points (vertices,
CVs) that define the projecting plane are selected. Any previously
assigned UV information will be lost.
Unitize: (UV creation)
A new set of unitized UVs are generated and assigned to the faces.
Any previously assigned UV information will be lost.
Unshare: (UV creation)
Force the specified UV to be unshared by possibly creating new UVs.
Any previously assigned UV information will be lost.

This flag is only used for the best plane texturing of
polygonal faces. This flag should be followed by a selection list.
If not specified, the selected objects will be used (in the order
they were selected).
This flag specifies the number of items (leading) in the selection
list that should be used for the mapping. The trailing items will
be used for computing the plane (See example below). The best
plane texturing is better suited for using interactively from
within its context. You can type "setToolTo
polyBestPlaneTexturingContext" in the command window OR
(EditPolygons->Texture->BestPlaneTexturing from the Menu) to
enter its context. |

uvSetName(uvs) |
string |
|
|
Specifies name of the uv set to work on |
|
createNewMap(cm) |
boolean |
|
|
Create new map if does not exists |
