pymel.core.modeling.polyExtrudeEdge

polyExtrudeEdge(*args, **kwargs)

Extrude edges separately or together.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
caching (cch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
constructionHistory (ch) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 

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.

divisions (d) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies the number of subdivisions. C: Default is 1 Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
gain (ga) float

This flag specifies the name of the curve to be used as input for extrusion C: The selected edges will be extruded along the curve.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Separate
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', w=10, h=10 )
pm.polyExtrudeEdge( 'plg.e[71:72]', 'plg.e[81:82]', kft=False,, ltz=2, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
# Edges are extruded then scaled separately
pm.delete( 'plg' )


# Together
pm.polyPlane( n='plg', w=10, h=10 )
pm.polyExtrudeEdge( 'plg.e[71:72]', 'plg.e[81:82]', kft=True, ltz=2, ls=(.5, .5, 0) )
