Synopsis

polyDuplicateEdge([constructionHistory=boolean], [name=string], [offset=float], [smoothingangle=angle], [splitType=int])

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

polyDuplicateEdge is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Duplicates a series of connected edges (edgeLoop)

Flags

constructionHistory, name, offset, smoothingangle, splitType
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
offset(of) float createmultiuse
Weight value controlling the relative positioning of the new edges. The range of values is [0.0, 1.0].
name(n) string create
Gives a name to the created node.
splitType(spt) int createqueryeditmultiuse
Choose between 2 different types of splits. If this is set to 0 then the split type will be absolute. This is where each of the splits will maintain an equal distance from the associated vertices. If this set to 1 then the split type will be relative. This is where each split will be made at an equal percentage along the length of the edge.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
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.
smoothingangle(sma) angle create
Subdivide new edges will be soft if less then this angle.
C: Default is 180.0
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.
