Type |
Description |
|
PropObj [in/out] |
Envelope weights property to be used. |
|
|
SubComp [in/out] |
List of points/objects/clusters to be copied in symmetry. Default Value: Current selection |
|
|
MappingTemplate [in/out] |
Mapping template that determines the symmetric mapping between deformers |
|
|
SymmetryAxis [in/out] |
The symmetry axis used to build the symmetry mapping template and symmetry map. |
Return Value
Returns an XSICollection that contains the new envelope operators.
