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 ../../../_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.

direction (d) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the mirror direction. C: Default is 0
mergeMode (mm) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 

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 ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the tolerance value for merging borders. C: Default is 0.1 Common flags
name (n) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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 ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotX (px) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the X pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotY (py) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the Y pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
pivotZ (pz) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
This flag specifies the Z pivot for the mirror. C: Default is computed using the bounding box of the object
worldSpace (ws) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyMirrorFace

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 )
