Synopsis

polyCollapseEdge([constructionHistory=boolean], [name=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

polyCollapseEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Turns each selected edge into a point.

Flags

constructionHistory, name
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
name(n) string create
Name the resulting object.
constructionHistory(ch) boolean createquery
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Return value


string The node name.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a plane.
cmds.polyPlane( n='plg', sx=10, sy=10, h=20, w=20 )

# Collapse one edge,
cmds.polyCollapseEdge( 'plg.e[200]' )

# Or multiple edges:
cmds.select( 'plg.e[74]', 'plg.e[92]', 'plg.e[94:95]' )
# Command works on selection list if
# no command line arguments are given.
cmds.polyCollapseEdge()

# Note that the command works on one edge at a time, so the
# resulting vertex from a selection of multiple edges will
# not typically be in the center of the selection.
