pymel.core.modeling.nurbsUVSet

nurbsUVSet(*args, **kwargs)

Allows user to toggle between implicit and explicit UVs on a NURBS object. Also provides a facility to create, delete, rename and set the current explicit UVSet. An implicit UVSet is non-editable. It uses the parametric make-up of the NURBS object to determine the location of UVs (isoparm intersections). NURBS objects also support explicit UVSets which are similar to the UVs of a polygonal object. UVs are created at the knots (isoparm intersections) of the object and are fully editable. In order to access UV editing capabilities on a NURBS object an explicit UVSet must be created and set as the current UVSet.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
create (c)		bool
	Creates an explicit UV set on the specified surface. If the surface already has an explicit UV set this flag will do nothing. Use the -ue/useExplicit flag to set/unset the explicit UV set as the current UV set.
useExplicit (ue)		bool
	Toggles the usage of explicit/implicit UVs. When true, explicit UVs will be used, otherwise the object will use implicit UVs. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nurbsUVSet

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

result = pm.sphere()
shape = result[0]
pm.select(shape, r=True)
# Create and activate a UV set
pm.nurbsUVSet(create=True)
# Result: u'defaultExplicitUVSet' #
pm.nurbsUVSet(useExplicit=True)
# Result: True #
pm.select(shape+".cv[3:5][2:4]", r=True)
# Rotate the UVs by 45 degrees
pm.nurbsEditUV(angle=45)
