Synopsis

polyFlipUV [-constructionHistory boolean] [-createNewMap boolean] [-flipType int] [-insertBeforeDeformers boolean] [-local boolean] [-name string] [-uvSetName string]

polyFlipUV is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Flags

Long name (short name)	[argument types]	Properties
-createNewMap(-cm)	boolean
Create a new UV set, as opposed to editing the current one, or the one given by the uvSetName flag. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-uvSetName(-uvs)	string
Specifies the name of the UV set to edit uvs on. If not specified will use the current UV set if it exists. When createNewMap is on, the name is used to generate a new unique UV set name. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-insertBeforeDeformers(-ibd)	boolean
This flag specifies if the polyFlipUV node should be inserted before or after deformer nodes already applied to the shape. Inserting the node after the deformer leads to texture swimming during animation and is most often undesirable. C: Default is on.
-flipType(-ft)	int
Flip along U or V direction. 0 Horizontal 1 Vertical C: Default is 0. Q: When queried returns an int. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-local(-l)	boolean
Flips in the local space of the input faces. C: Default is on. Q: When queried returns an int. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-name(-n)	string
Name the resulting object.
-constructionHistory(-ch)	boolean
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). Q: When queried, this flag returns an integer. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
