pymel.core.modeling.extendSurface

extendSurface(*args, **kwargs)

This command extends a surface or creates a new surface as an extension.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
distance (d)		float
	The distance to extend (for by distance only) Default:1 Advanced flags
extendDirection (ed)		int
	Which parametric direction of the surface to extend ( 0 - U, 1 - V, 2 - both ) Default:0
extendMethod (em)		int
	The extend method (0 - distance) Default:0
extendSide (es)		int
	Which end of the surface to extend ( 0 - end, 1 - start, 2 - both ) Default:1
extensionType (et)		int
	The type of extension (0 - tangent, 2 - extrapolate) Default:0
join (jn)		bool
	Join extension to original Default:true
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object
noChanges (nc)		bool
nodeState (nds)		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Common flags
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node
replaceOriginal (rpo)		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace) Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.extendSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#Create a nurbs plane, then extend both sides of the plane by 10
pm.nurbsPlane(n='plane1')
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.extendSurface('plane1', d=10, es=2)
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'plane1'), nt.ExtendSurface(u'extendSurface1')] #
