Face Centroid

[moesian]

Hello,

Whats the best way to get the center of a face using pymel?
pymel.core.general.MeshFace doesn't seem to have a method for it. If
no method exists would it be possible to extend
pymel.core.general.MeshFace to include one?

Thanks

They didnt include it in the pymel api wrapper, but this would be it I think.

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.OpenMaya as OpenMaya

face = pm.MeshFace("pCube1.f[64]")

pt = face.__apimfn__().center(OpenMaya.MSpace.kWorld)

centerPoint = pm.datatypes.Point(pt)

-- justin
