pymel.core.modeling.bevel

bevel(*args, **kwargs)

The bevel command creates a new bevel surface for the specified curve. The curve can be any nurbs curves.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties
bevelShapeType / bst int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Shape type: 1 - straight cut, 2 - curve out, 3 - curve in Default:1 Advanced flags
caching / cch bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory / ch bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Turn the construction history on or off
cornerType / ct int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Corner type: 1 - linear, 2 - circular Default:2
depth / d float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The depth for bevel Default:0.5
extrudeDepth / ed float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The extrude depth for bevel Default:1.0
frozen / fzn bool  
   
joinSurfaces / js bool  
   
name / n unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.

nodeState / nds int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Common flags
numberOfSides / ns int  
   
object / o bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Create the result, or just the dependency node
polygon / po int ../../../_images/create.gif
 

The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)

range / rn bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Force a curve range on complete input curve Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
tolerance / tol float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The tolerance for bevel offsets Default:0.01
width / w float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The width for bevel Default:0.5

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.bevel

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Bevel (one) active curve with a width and depth of 1.5:
pm.bevel( w=1.5, d=1.5 )

# Create a single-sided bevel (at start) surface using the specified
# curve (with the default dimensions):
pm.bevel( 'curve1', ns=2 )
