pymel.core.modeling.stitchSurface

stitchSurface(*args, **kwargs)

The stitchSurface command aligns two surfaces together to be G(0) and/or G(1) continuous by ajusting only the Control Vertices of the surfaces. The two surfaces can be stitched by specifying the two isoparm boundary edges that are to stitched together. The edge to which the two surfaces are stitched together is obtained by doing a weighted average of the two edges. The weights for the two edges is specified using the flags -wt0, -wt1 respectively.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
bias (b)		float
	Blend Cvs in between input surface and result from stitch. A value of 0.0 returns the input surface Default:1.0
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
cascade (c)		bool
	Cascade the created stitch node. (Only if the surface has a stitch history) Default is ‘false’. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
cvIthIndex (ci)		int
	The ith boundary cv index on the input surface Default:-1
cvJthIndex (cj)		int
	The jth boundary cv index on the input surface Default:-1
fixBoundary (fb)		bool
	Fix Boundary Cvs while Solving for any G1 constraints. Default:false Advanced flags
keepG0Continuity (kg0)		bool
	Stitch together with positional continuity. Default is ‘true’.
keepG1Continuity (kg1)		bool
	Stitch together with tangent continuity. Default is ‘false’.
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object
nodeState (nds)		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Common flags
numberOfSamples (ns)		int
	The number of samples on the edge. Default is 20.
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node
parameterU (u)		float
	The U parameter value on surface for a point constraint. Default:-10000
parameterV (v)		float
	The V parameter value on surface for a point constraint Default:-10000
positionalContinuity (pc)		bool
	Toggle on(off) G0 continuous at edge corresponding to multi index. Default:true
replaceOriginal (rpo)		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace)
stepCount (sc)		int
	Step count for the number of discretizations. Default:20
tangentialContinuity (tc)		bool
	Toggle on(off) G1 continuity across edge corresponding to multi index. Default:false
togglePointNormals (tpn)		bool
	Toggle on(off) normal point constraints on the surface. Default:false
togglePointPosition (tpp)		bool
	Toggle on(off) position point constraints on the surface. Default:true
toggleTolerance (tt)		bool
	Toggle on(off) so as to use Tolerance or specified steps for discretization. Default:false
tolerance (tol)		float
	Tolerance to use while discretizing the edge Default:0.1
weight0 (wt0)		float
	The weighting factor for the first edge. Default is 0.5.
weight1 (wt1)		float
	The weighting factor for the second edge. Default is 0.5.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.stitchSurface

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Stitch the two surfaces along the two specified surface isoparam with C0 continuity.
# Since wt0 = 0.0, both the surfaces are stitched to surface2.vn[0] really.
pm.stitchSurface( 'surface1.vn[1.0]', 'surface2.vn[0.0]', kg0=False, kg1=True, cascade=False, ns=100, wt0=0.0, wt1=1.0 )
