Caling upon the smooth all attribute in maya using python or MEL

Question

I am trying to script a setup where the map borders is set to something specific after smoothing the geo in the viewport. I don't know how to call upon that attribute or change it.

It's under smooth mesh - extra controls in the GEOShape of the mesh.

Any ideas?

Mel or Python... I dont care, I just need to know how to reach these? :-)

Answer 1

Open up the Script Editor, and turn on History > Echo All Commands

Also open the Window > General Editors > Attribute Spreadsheet.

From the All tab, find Keep Map Borders.

As you change the radio button between Do not smooth, Smooth internal, and Smooth all, you'll see the value in the Attribute Spreadsheet change between All, Internal, and None.

Type All in the Attribute Spreadsheet, and look over at the Script Editor. You should see this line:

setAttr "pCubeShape1.keepMapBorders" 2;

That is the MEL command that sets Map Borders to Do not smooth
