Query object ?

What is Query ? 

I know Query means to ask a question, how would this be used for example with, polySphere() radius ?

[Justin Israel]

For commands that state they are "queryable", it means you can pass a q=True and the a True value to the param you want to query.

The polySphere command has the example of what you want right at the bottom, so make sure you read the docs:

Although I think they have a typo in their comment vs the examples

r = cmds.polySphere( 'mySphere', q=True, r=True )

I know there are examples, what is the query doing for the radius of the sphere ?

From my understanding if there was a sphere created, it's simply telling the new sphere I create to make the radius the same as the old sphere, correct ?

[kevco...@gmail.com]

it's not doing anything to the radius, It's simply asking what the radius of "mySphere" is, so the command returns the radius, and then your storing that in the variable "r".

The point of the "query" mode of a command is to query for the value of something. That is different that "create" or "edit" modes, where "create" will create something, and "edit" will edit the value of an existing something.
