pymel.core.modeling.polyCollapseEdge

polyCollapseEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Turns each selected edge into a point.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object. Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
name (n)		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds)		int
	Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyCollapseEdge

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a plane.
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', sx=10, sy=10, h=20, w=20 )

# Collapse one edge,
pm.polyCollapseEdge( 'plg.e[200]' )

# Or multiple edges:
pm.select( 'plg.e[74]', 'plg.e[92]', 'plg.e[94:95]' )
# Command works on selection list if
# no command line arguments are given.
pm.polyCollapseEdge()

# Note that the command works on one edge at a time, so the
# resulting vertex from a selection of multiple edges will
# not typically be in the center of the selection.
