polyExtrudeFacet provides naming (name flag) but the resulting polyExtrudeFace node has no name attribute

[daniel_vanwesten]

Hey there,

I tried to extrude a polyPlane via pymel:

pm.polyExtrudeFacet('pPlane', tk=0.3, name='myExtrude')

 The extrude works, but the name of the extrude node is polyExtrudeFace1. Shouldn't the Extrude node then be called "myExtrude"?

Cheers,

you would assume so, but clearly not... 😕 

Quite a lot of those types of commands all share several common flags like name, so it wouldn't surprise me if the engineers made some of them from a standard template, then just forgot to hook up all the common flags. The fact that the official polyExtrudeFacet command doc (which I assume is auto-generated from the source code) contains amazing pearls of wisdom like this:

would suggest that could be the case 😂

I assume you probably know how to work around this already, and are just highlighting the bug, but just on the off-chance:

pm.rename(pm.polyExtrudeFacet('pPlane', tk=0.3)[0], 'myExtrude')
