preserve uvs

[stuzzz]

hi,

Is there any function of snippets for preserving the UVs while translating points?

Thanks.

hello!

If you're using the xform command to move verticies, there is a preseveUV flag. 

for example (in python):

# Moves a selected vertex to the world origin while preserving UV space
import maya.cmds as cmds
sel = cmds.ls(sl=True)[0]
cmds.xform(sel, t=(0,0,0), preserveUV=True)

Hope that helps!

Interesting. I did not have a look at the Maya commands since I use the c++ api.

I'd like to avoid using xform. 

Do you know if there is a equivalent api function for this purpose?

Thanks

Oh if you're doing api/plug-in stuff, then that is definitely outside of my knowledge base. Someone else will need to chime in on that. I hope you get it figured out though!

What's wrong about xform?
