Synopsis
closeCurve [flags] [curveName]
The closeCurve command closes a curve, making it periodic.
The pathname to the newly closed curve and the name
of the resulting dependency node are returned. If a curve
is not specified in the command, then the first active curve
will be used.
Return value
[string[]] (object name and node name)
Flags
blendBias, blendKnotInsertion, constructionHistory, curveOnSurface, name, object, parameter, polygon, preserveShape, range, rebuild, replaceOriginal
| Long name (short name) | [argument types] | Properties |
|---|
-preserveShape
(-ps)
| integer |   |
|
0 - without preserving the shape
1 - preserve shape
2 - blend
Default: 1
|
|
-blendBias
(-bb)
| float | |
|
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending
on the blend value being smaller or larger than 0.5.
Default: 0.5
|
|
-blendKnotInsertion
(-bki)
| boolean | |
|
If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves
(relative position given by the parameter attribute below)
in order to produce a slightly different effect.
Default: false
|
|
-parameter
(-p)
| float | |
|
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.
Default: 0.1
|
|
-name
(-n)
| string |  |
|
Name the resulting object
|
|
-constructionHistory
(-ch)
| boolean | |
|
Turn the construction history on or off (not available in all commands)
|
|
-object
(-o)
| boolean | |
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node (not available in all commands)
|
|
-replaceOriginal
(-rpo)
| boolean | |
|
Create "in place" (i.e., replace) (not available in all commands)
|
|
-curveOnSurface
(-cos)
| boolean | |
|
If possible, create 2D curve as a result (not available in all commands)
|
|
-polygon
(-po)
| integer | |
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation (not available in all commands)
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
|
|
-range
(-rn)
| boolean | |
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve (not available in all commands)
|
|
-rebuild
(-rb)
| boolean | |
|
Rebuild the input curve(s) before using them in the operation. Use nurbsCurveRebuildPref to set the parameters for the conversion. (not available in all commands)

Examples
closeCurve -ch on -ps on curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and by preserving shape. The result will
// be the name of the closed curve, and the name of the newly created
// dependency node.
closeCurve -ch on -ps off curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and will not preserve the shape of the
// curve.
closeCurve -ch on -rpo on curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and replaces the original curve with
// the closed one.
