This command computes a skinned (lofted) surface passing through a number of NURBS curves. There must be at least two curves present. The NURBS curves may be surface isoparms, curve on surfaces, trimmed edges or polygon edges.
Long name (short name) | Argument Types | Properties | |
---|---|---|---|
autoReverse (ar) | bool | ||
If set to true, the direction of the curves for the loft is computed automatically. If set to false, the values of the multi-use reverse flag are used instead. Default:true |
|||
caching (cch) | bool | ||
|
|||
close (c) | bool | ||
If set to true, the resulting surface will be closed (periodic) with the start (end) at the first curve. If set to false, the surface will remain open. Default:false |
|||
constructionHistory (ch) | bool | ||
|
|||
createCusp (cc) | bool | ||
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular profile will have a cusp (tangent break) in the resulting surface. Default:false Advanced flags |
|||
degree (d) | int | ||
|
|||
name (n) | unicode | ||
|
|||
nodeState (nds) | int | ||
|
|||
object (o) | bool | ||
|
|||
polygon (po) | int | ||
The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion) |
|||
range (rn) | bool | ||
|
|||
rebuild (rb) | bool | ||
Rebuild the input curve(s) before using them in the operation. Use nurbsCurveRebuildPref to set the parameters for the conversion. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. |
|||
reverse (r) | bool | ||
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular curve will be reversed before being used in the loft operation. Default:false |
|||
reverseSurfaceNormals (rsn) | bool | ||
|
|||
sectionSpans (ss) | int | ||
|
|||
uniform (u) | bool | ||
If set to true, the resulting surface will have uniform parameterization in the loft direction. If set to false, the parameterization will be chord length. Default:false |
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.loft
Example:
import pymel.core as pm
# A loft across two curves: curve1, curve2. Curve ranges
# have been enabled on the curves. The curves will be reversed
# internally if needed to avoid a bowtie looking surface.
pm.curve( d=3, p=( (-11, 0, 0), (-13, 0, -4), (-17, 0, -15), (-4.7, 0, -10), (1, 0, -8 ) ) )
# Result: nt.Transform(u'curve1') #
pm.curve( d=3, p=( (-2, 0, 5), (-2, 0, 3), (-2, 0, -1), (4, 0, 0), (7, 0, 0 ) ) )
# Result: nt.Transform(u'curve2') #
pm.loft( 'curve1', 'curve2', ch=True, rn=True, ar=True )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'loftedSurface1'), nt.Loft(u'loft1')] #
