pymel.core.modeling.freeFormFillet

freeFormFillet(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a free form surface fillet across two surface trim edges or isoparms or curve on surface. The fillet surface creation has blend controls in the form of bias and depth. The bias value scales the tangents at the two ends across the two selected curves. The depth values controls the curvature of the fillet across the two selected curves. The default values of depth, bias are 0.5 and 0.5 respectively.

Name the resulting object
nodeState (nds) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif

object (o) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Create the result, or just the dependency node
polygon (po) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 

The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)

C(0) Tolerance For Filleted Surface creation Default:0.1
range (rn) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Force a curve range on complete input curve Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
tangentTolerance (tt) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
G(1) continuity Tolerance For Filleted Surface creation Default:0.1

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.freeFormFillet

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create the fillet across a curve on surface and surface isoparm.
pm.nurbsPlane( ch=True, o=True, po=0, ax=(0, 1, 0), w=11, lr=1 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane1'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane1')] #
pm.circle( ch=True, o=True, nr=(0, 1, 0), r=3.79518 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsCircle1'), nt.MakeNurbCircle(u'makeNurbCircle1')] #
pm.projectCurve( 'nurbsCircle1', 'nurbsPlane1', ch=False, rn=False, un=False, tol=0.01 )
# Result: [nt.CurveVarGroup(u'nurbsPlaneShape1->projectionCurve1')] #
pm.nurbsPlane( p=(0, 6, 0), ax=(0, 1, 0), w=11, lr=1 )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsPlane2'), nt.MakeNurbPlane(u'makeNurbPlane2')] #
pm.freeFormFillet( 'nurbsPlaneShape1-"projectionCurve1_1', 'nurbsPlane2.v[1.0]', ch=True, bias=0.0, depth=0.5, po=True )
[u'freeformFilletSurface1', u'ffFilletSrf1']

pm.trim( 'nurbsPlaneShape1', 'projectionCurve1_Shape1', ch=True, o=True, rpo=True, lu=0.2, lv=0.2 )
[u'nurbsPlaneShape1', u'trim1']
# Fillet across a surface trim edge boundary and surface isoparm.
pm.freeFormFillet( 'nurbsPlane1.edge[1][1][4]', 'nurbsPlane2.v[0][0.0:0.6]', ch=False )
[u'freeformFilletSurface2']
