Surface Objects
rect_strip(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any length, any width)
Example:rect_strip("my_rectangle",0,0,0,"x",y)
Description: Draws a Rect Strip object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Rect Strip if Rect Strip 'label' already exists.
circ_strip(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any inner_radius, any outer_radius)
Example:circ_strip("cs_1",0,0,0,0,100)
Description: Draws a Circular Strip object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Circular Strip if Circular Strip 'label' already exists.
poly_strip(string label, 3x1 Python tuple p0, 3x1 Python tuple p1, ... 3x1 Python tuple pn)
Example:poly_strip("ps_1",(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,0,0))
Description: Creates or modifies a PolyStrip object in the scene. Each point is represented with a Python tuple type. The poly_strip function is 'self-closing' -- there is no need to supply the first point again at the end of the point list.
nurbs_strip(string label, 3x1 Python tuple p0, 3x1 Python tuple p1, ... 3x1 Python tuple pn)
Example:nurbs_strip("ns_1",(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,0,0))
Description: Creates or modifies a NURBS Strip object in the scene. Each point is represented with a Python tuple type. The nurbs_strip function is 'self-closing' -- there is no need to supply the first point again at the end of the point list.
Solid Objects
box(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any length, any width, any height)
Example:box("my_box",0,0,0,"x",y,100)
Description: Draws a Box object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Box if Box 'label' already exists.
cylinder(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any radius, any height)
Example:cylinder("cylinder_1",0,0,0,10,100)
Description: Draws a Cylinder object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Cylinder if Cylinder 'label' already exists.
pyramid(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any base_x, any base_y, any height)
Example:pyramid("pyramid_1",0,0,0,10,10,100)
Description: Draws a Pyramid object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Pyramid if Pyramid 'label' already exists.
sphere(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any radius, any start_angle, any end_angle)
Example:sphere("sphere",0,0,0,10,0,180)
Description: Draws a Sphere object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Sphere if Sphere 'label' already exists. The arguments start_angle and end_angle are in degrees and specify a sweep about the sphere's theta axis.
Line Objects
line(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any length, any width, any height)
Example:box("my_box",0,0,0,"x",y,100)
Description: Draws a Box object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Box if Box 'label' already exists.
line_rotated(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any radius, any height)
Example:cylinder("cylinder_1",0,0,0,10,100)
Description: Draws a Cylinder object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Cylinder if Cylinder 'label' already exists.
circle(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any base_x, any base_y, any height)
Example:pyramid("pyramid_1",0,0,0,10,10,100)
Description: Draws a Pyramid object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Pyramid if Pyramid 'label' already exists.
helix(string label, any x0, any y0, any z0, any radius, any start_angle, any end_angle)
Example:sphere("sphere",0,0,0,10,0,180)
Description: Draws a Sphere object in the scene under the currently activated Material Group node, or modifies a Sphere if Sphere 'label' already exists. The arguments start_angle and end_angle are in degrees and specify a sweep about the sphere's theta axis.
poly_strip(string label, 3x1 Python tuple p0, 3x1 Python tuple p1, ... 3x1 Python tuple pn)
Example:poly_strip("ps_1",(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,0,0))
Description: Creates or modifies a PolyStrip object in the scene. Each point is represented with a Python tuple type. The poly_strip function is 'self-closing' -- there is no need to supply the first point again at the end of the point list.
nurbs_strip(string label, 3x1 Python tuple p0, 3x1 Python tuple p1, ... 3x1 Python tuple pn)
Example:nurbs_strip("ns_1",(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,0,0))
Description: Creates or modifies a NURBS Strip object in the scene. Each point is represented with a Python tuple type. The nurbs_strip function is 'self-closing' -- there is no need to supply the first point again at the end of the point list.
