Synopsis

polyUVSet([allUVSets=boolean], [allUVSetsIndices=boolean], [allUVSetsWithCount=boolean], [copy=boolean], [create=boolean], [currentLastUVSet=boolean], [currentPerInstanceUVSet=boolean], [currentUVSet=boolean], [delete=boolean], [newUVSet=string], [perInstance=boolean], [projections=boolean], [rename=boolean], [shareInstances=boolean], [unshared=boolean], [uvSet=string])

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

polyUVSet is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Command to do the following to uv sets: - delete an existing uv set. - rename an existing uv set. - create a new empty uv set. - copy the values from one uv set to a another pre-existing uv set. - set the current uv set to a pre-existing uv set. - modify sharing between instances of per-instance uv sets - query the current uv set. - set the current uv set to the last uv set added to an object. - query the names of all uv sets.

Return value

boolean Success or Failure.

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

Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
uvSet(uvs) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name of the uv set that this command needs to work on. This flag has to be specified for this command to do anything meaningful other than query the current uv set.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
currentUVSet(cuv) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will set the current uv set that the object needs to work on, to be the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag. This does require that a uvSet with the specified name exist. When queried, this returns the current uv set.
currentLastUVSet(luv) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will set the current uv set that the object needs to work on, to be the last uv set added to the object. If no uv set exists for the object, then no uv set name will be returned.
allUVSets(auv) boolean queryedit
This flag when used in in a query will return a list of all of the uv set names
allUVSetsIndices(uvn) boolean queryedit
This flag when queried will return a list of the logical plug indices of all the uv sets in the sparse uv set array.
allUVSetsWithCount(awc) boolean queryedit
This flag when used in a query will return a list of all of the uv set family names, with a count appended to the perInstance sets indicating the number of instances in the uv set shared by the specified or selected shape.
rename(rn) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will result in the renaming of the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag to the name specified using the newUVSet flag.
newUVSet(nuv) string createqueryedit
Specifies the name that the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag, needs to be renamed to.
delete(d) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will result in the deletion of the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag.
copy(cp) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will result in the copying of the uv set corresponding to name specified with the uvSet flag to the uvset corresponding to the name specified with the newUVSet flag
create(cr) boolean createqueryedit
This flag when used will result in the creation of an empty uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag. If a uvSet with that name already exists, then no new uv set will be created.
projections(pr) boolean queryedit
This flag when used in a query will return a list of polygon uv projection node names. The order of the list is from most-recently-applied to least-recently-applied.
perInstance(pi) boolean createqueryedit
This flag can be used in conjunction with the create flag to indicate whether or not the uv set is per-instance. When you create a per-instance uv set, the set will be applied as shared between all selected instances of the shape unless the unshared flag is used. The perInstance flag can be used in query mode with the currentUVSet or allUVSets flag to indicate that the set family names (i.e. not containing instance identifiers) will be returned by the query.

In query mode, this flag can accept a value.
unshared(us) boolean createqueryedit
This flag can be used in conjunction with the create and perInstance flags to indicate that the newly created per-instance set should be created with a separate set per instance.
shareInstances(si) boolean createqueryedit
This flag is used to modify the sharing of per-instance uv sets within a given uv set family so that all selected instances share the specified set. In query mode, it returns a list of the instances that share the set specified by the uvSet flag.
currentPerInstanceUVSet( cpi) boolean queryedit
This is a query-only flag for use when the current uv set is a per-instance uv set family. This returns the member of the set family that corresponds to the currently select instance.
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
