Synopsis

polyUVSet [-allUVSets] [-allUVSetsIndices] [-copy] [-create] [-currentLastUVSet] [-currentUVSet] [-delete] [-newUVSet string] [-projections] [-rename] [-uvSet string]

polyUVSet is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Flags

Long name (short name)	[argument types]	Properties
-uvSet(-uvs)	string
Specifies the name of the uv set that this command needs to work on. This flag has to be specified for this command to do anything meaningful other than query the current uv set. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-currentUVSet(-cuv)
This flag when used will set the current uv set that the object needs to work on, to be the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag. This does require that a uvSet with the specified name exist. When queried, this returns the current uv set. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-currentLastUVSet(-luv)
This flag when used will set the current uv set that the object needs to work on, to be the last uv set added to the object. If no uv set exists for the object, then no uv set name will be returned. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-allUVSets(-auv)
This flag when used in in a query will return a list of all of the uv set names In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-allUVSetsIndices(-uvn)
This flag when queried will return a list of the logical plug indices of all the uv sets in the sparse uv set array. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-rename(-rn)
This flag when used will result in the renaming of the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag to the name specified using the newUVSet flag. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-newUVSet(-nuv)	string
Specifies the name that the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag, needs to be renamed to. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-delete(-d)
This flag when used will result in the deletion of the uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-copy(-cp)
This flag when used will result in the copying of the uv set corresponding to name specified with the uvSet flag to the uvset corresponding to the name specified with the newUVSet flag In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-create(-cr)
This flag when used will result in the creation of an empty uv set corresponding to the name specified with the uvSet flag. If a uvSet with that name already exists, then no new uv set will be created. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-projections(-pr)
This flag when used in a query will return a list of polygon uv projection node names. The order of the list is from most-recently-applied to least-recently-applied. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
