pymel.core.modeling.polyListComponentConversion

polyListComponentConversion(*args, **kwargs)

This command converts poly components from one or more types to another one or more types, and returns the list of the conversion. It doesn’t change anything of the current database.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
border (bo)		bool
	Indicates that the converted components must be on the border of the selection. If it is not provided, the converted components will be the related ones. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
fromEdge (fe)		bool
fromFace (ff)		bool
fromUV (fuv)		bool
fromVertex (fv)		bool
fromVertexFace (fvf)		bool
	Indicates the component type to convert from. If none of them is provided, it is assumed to be all of them, including poly objects.
internal (internal)		bool
	Indicates that the converted components must be totally envolved by the source components. E.g. a converted face must have all of its surrounding vertices being given. If it is not provided, the converted components will be the related ones.
toEdge (te)		bool
toFace (tf)		bool
toUV (tuv)		bool
toVertex (tv)		bool
toVertexFace (tvf)		bool
	Indicates the component type to convert to. If none of them is provided, it is assumed to the object.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyListComponentConversion

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Convert the vertices to envolved poly face(s) and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg.vtx[5:6]', 'plg.vtx[9:10]', fv=True, tf=True, internal=True )
plg.f[4]

# Convert anything to related poly face(s) and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg.vtx[0]', 'plg.vtx[3]', 'plg.vtx[8]', tf=True )
plg.f[0] plg.f[2] plg.f[3] plg.f[6]

# Convert an object to faces and list results.
pm.polyListComponentConversion( 'plg', tf=True )
plg.f[*]

# Convert vertices to faces on selectionList and list results.
pm.select( 'plg.vtx[0]', 'plg.vtx[3]', 'plg.vtx[8]', r=True )
pm.polyListComponentConversion( fv=True, tf=True )
plg.f[0] plg.f[2] plg.f[3] plg.f[6]
