class PartBase(groupNode)#

Inheritance

Abstract base class for Part and PartGuide.

classmethod create()#

Stub constructor.

classmethod createNode()#

Creates the basic transform (group) node for the part.

classmethod _getCreateNameContext()#

Called before a build wrapped by partCreator() to establish the naming environment.

_postCreate()#

The base implementation does the following:

Automatically configures visibility attributes for joints and controls first-level subgroups

getCreateArgsKwargs()#

Raises: NotImplementedError – Not implemented on this class.
Returns: The positional and keyword arguments required to recreate this part / guide with the same configuration.

basename()#

getControls()#

Returns: All transform nodes under the part group for which isControl() returns True.
Return type: [Transform]

getPartScale(plug=False)#

Parameters: plug/p (bool) – return a live output, not just a value
Returns: A scaling factor derived from the Y axis of the part group node’s world matrix.
Return type: Double

getPartScaleMatrix(plug=False)#

getPatchbay(create=True)#

Returns a general-utility network node connected to this part’s group node.

Parameters: create (bool) – create the network node if it doesn’t already exist; defaults to True
Returns: The network node.
Return type: Network

remove()#: Removes this part and all DG and DAG nodes that were created when it was first built.
