insert edgeloop tool via MEL scripting for maya

Does anyone know how to write a mel script that can ideally use a feature from the tool box ( EG. insert edgeloop tool?)

Solution

  • Whenever you make an operation in maya, you'll get a MEL command echo in the script editor.

    In this case, for 'insert edgeloop' operation I got something like: polySplitRing -ch on -splitType 1 -weight 0.420764 -smoothingAngle 30 -fixQuads 1 -insertWithEdgeFlow 0 ;

    You can then look further into maya's MEL command documentation: https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/ and search for polySplitRing command: it lists all the arguments for this command and some examples.
