pymel.core.modeling.polyMirrorFace

polyMirrorFace(*args, **kwargs)

Mirror all the faces of the selected object.

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.
direction (d)		int
	This flag specifies the mirror direction. C: Default is 0
mergeMode (mm)		int
	This flag specifies the behaviour of the mirror with respect to the border edges. Valid values are 0-5, corresponding to +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z direction respectively. If the mode is 0, the border edges will not be merged (co-incident vertices will be present). If the mode is 1, the border vertices/edges will be merged If the mode is 2, the border edges will be extruded and connected. C: Default is 0
mergeThreshold (mt)		float
	This flag specifies the tolerance value for merging borders. C: Default is 0.1 Common flags
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.
pivot (p)		float, float, float
	This flag specifies the pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotX (px)		float
	This flag specifies the X pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotY (py)		float
	This flag specifies the Y pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotZ (pz)		float
	This flag specifies the Z pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
worldSpace (ws)		bool
	This flag specifies which reference to use. If on: all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If off: all geometrical values are taken in object reference. C: Default is off. Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Mirror about +X direction by merging the border vertices
pm.polyCube( name='poly1' )
pm.delete( 'poly1.f[4]' )
pm.polyMirrorFace( 'poly1', direction=0, mergeMode=1 )

# Mirror about +Y direction by connecting the border edges
# in world reference, by explicitly specifying a pivot point (0, 2, 0)
pm.polyCube( name='poly2' )
pm.delete( 'poly2.f[4]' )
pm.rotate( 0, 0, 45, 'poly2', r=True, os=True )
pm.polyMirrorFace( 'poly2', direction=2, p=(0, 2, 0), mergeMode=2, worldSpace=1 )
