Synopsis

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

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

polySplitEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Split Edges.
Splits non-manifold edges so as to make them manifold edges. It creates the minimum number of edges that can be created to make the edge manifold.

Resulting mesh may have extra vertices or edges to ensure geometry is valid.

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

cmds.polyPlane( w=1, h=1, sx=10, sy=10, ax=(0, 1, 0), cuv=1, ch=1 )
cmds.scale( 15, 15, 15, r=True )
cmds.move( -8, 0, 6, r=True )

cmds.select( 'polyPlane1', addFirst=True )
cmds.setAttr( 'polyPlane1.subdivisionsWidth', 3 )
cmds.setAttr( 'polyPlane1.subdivisionsHeight', 3 )
cmds.select( 'pPlane1.e[12]', r=True )
cmds.polyExtrudeEdge( 'pPlane1.e[12]', ch=1, kft=0, pvx=-5.5, pvy=0.0, pvz=6.0 )
# Result: polyExtrudeEdge1 #
cmds.setAttr( 'polyExtrudeEdge1.localTranslate', 0, 0, 5.093611)
cmds.select( 'pPlane1.e[12]', r=True )
cmds.polySplitEdge()
# Result: polySplitEdge1 #

# The edge is now split..
cmds.select( 'pPlane1.f[9]', r=True)
cmds.move(0, 0.5, 0, r=True)
