Synopsis

planarSrf( object1 [object2] ... , [constructionHistory=boolean], [curveOnSurface=boolean], [degree=int], [keepOutside=boolean], [name=string], [object=boolean], [polygon=int], [range=boolean], [rebuild=boolean], [replaceOriginal=boolean], [tolerance=linear])

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

planarSrf is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command computes a planar trimmed surface given planar boundary curves that form a closed region.

Flags

constructionHistory, curveOnSurface, degree, keepOutside, name, object, polygon, range, rebuild, replaceOriginal, tolerance
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
degree(d) int queryedit
The degree of the resulting surface: 1 - linear, 3 - cubic
Default: 3

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
keepOutside(ko) boolean queryedit
If true, keep the regions outside the given curves.
Default: false

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
tolerance(tol) linear queryedit
The distance tolerance for the cvs of the curves to be in the same plane.
Default: 0.01

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
name(n) string create
Name the resulting object
constructionHistory(ch) boolean create
Turn the construction history on or off (not available in all commands)
object(o) boolean create
Create the result, or just the dependency node (not available in all commands)
replaceOriginal(rpo) boolean create
Create "in place" (i.e., replace) (not available in all commands)
curveOnSurface(cos) boolean create
If possible, create 2D curve as a result (not available in all commands)
polygon(po) int create
The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation (not available in all commands)
  • 0: nurbs surface
  • 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
  • 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
  • 3: Bezier surface
  • 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
range(rn) boolean create
Force a curve range on complete input curve (not available in all commands)
rebuild(rb) boolean create
Rebuild the input curve(s) before using them in the operation. Use nurbsCurveRebuildPref to set the parameters for the conversion. (not available in all commands)
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[]] (object name and node name)

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# create linear planar trimmed surface given boundary curve(s)
cmds.planarSrf( d=1 )

# use boundary curve(s) to create a hole by
# keeping the outside trimmed regions
cmds.planarSrf( ko=True)
