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

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

polyMapCut is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Cut along edges of the texture mapping. The cut edges become map borders.

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.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

#Opening up the textureView will make this example
#much easier to visualize.

#Create a plane and select it.
cmds.polyPlane( n='plg', sx=5, sy=5, w=10, h=10 )
cmds.select( 'plg' )

#Display map borders.
cmds.polyOptions( ao=True, dmb=True )

#Cut the map.
cmds.polyMapCut( 'plg.e[44]', 'plg.e[46]', 'plg.e[48]', 'plg.e[50]', 'plg.e[52]' )
#now that it's cut, we may move the row separately

#Move some UVs
cmds.polyMoveUV('plg.map[24:28]', 'plg.map[30:35]', 'plg.map[37]', tv=0.3 )
