Synopsis

cpPanel([clothName=boolean], [clothShape=boolean], [curveVertices=boolean], [facets=boolean], [name=string], [newStitcher=boolean], [property=boolean], [query=boolean], [resolutionFactor=float], [stitcherName=string], [stitcherResolution=float])

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

cpPanel is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a panel node from a set of closed curves and optionally creates a new garment (stitcher node) for it. If a panel node is being created, the selection must contain a set of nurbs curves that form a planar closed loop. The curves are not required to be in any order. If a new garment is to be created, the selection can either contain a panel to go into the garment or a set of nurbs curves to form the first panel for the garment.

Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
clothShape(c) boolean query
This option requires a panel to be selected and returns the name of the cloth shape which contains the panel.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
clothName(cn) boolean create
This option uses the given name to name the newly created cloth shape and is only used with the -newStitcher option.
curveVertices(cv) boolean query
Returns the vertex ids of the cloth mesh that corresponds to the selected curve. Return type is int array.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
facets(f) boolean query
This option requires a panel to be selected and returns the list of facets that compose the panel.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
name(n) string create
This option uses the given name when creating a panel.

This option requires a panel to be selected and returns the name of the property that is currently assigned to the panel.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
query(q) boolean query
This option requires a panel to be selected and specifies that the command is a query.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
resolutionFactor(rf) float create
This option assigns the given resolution factor to the panel when it is created.
stitcherName(sn) string create
This option uses the given name when creating a stitcher and is only used with the -newStitcher option.
stitcherResolution(sr) float create
This option assigns the given resolution as the base resolution of the stitcher when it is created. This option is only used with the -newStitcher option.

Return value


The panel transform and shape names. If a stitcher node is created, the stither name will also be returned.
