pymel.core.modeling.intersect

intersect(*args, **kwargs)

The intersect command creates a curve on surface where all surfaces intersect with each other. By default, the curve on surface is created for both surfaces. However, by using the -fs flag, only the first surface will have a curve on surface. Also, the intersection curve can be created as a 3D curve rather than a curve on surface.

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
curveOnSurface (cos)		bool
	If possible, create 2D curve as a result Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
firstSurface (fs)		bool
	creates a curve-on-surface on the first surface only or on all surfaces (default)
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object
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
tolerance (tol)		float
	Tolerance to fit to. Default:0.01 Advanced flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.intersect

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Intersect the two active surfaces and create the resulting curve on
# surface as a 3D curve (note: only one 3D curve is created for each
# pair of intersecting surfaces):
pm.intersect( cos=True )

# Intersect the nurbs sphere and nurbs plane, creating a curve-on-surface
# on each surface:
pm.intersect( 'nurbsSphere1', 'nurbsPlane1', fs=True )
