Hi,
I'm hoping someone here can help me with this. I am writing a plug-in node that duplicates all the faces of a mesh a given number of times. The MFnMesh::duplicateFaces() function, when given a list of all the faces of the object, does what I want. However the duplicate faces are split. It's as though I used the UI Edit Mesh->Duplicate Face command with the "Keep Faces Together" option turned off. Is there some way to keep them together? BTW - I'm wring the plugin in Python for Maya 2012 64bit.
Also - I was trying to find a way to merge vertices after the operation, and I can't find it anywhere. How is vertex merging done using the API?
Thanks in advance!
