Hello Guys,

I'm hoping anyone can help an ignorant modeler. I haven't done much coding since I was in school, and I was trying to create a tool that would allow me to make Roof tiles for numerous buildings in my scene. The only ones I can find online were MEL based and was trying to create it myself... started building it.. and I'm lost in my functions, all I've really built is my window. Help anyone, in anyway. Guidance, or what you would do etc.

cmds.window(title='Roof Tile Creator',sizeable=False, resizeToFitChildren=True, backgroundColor=[0,0,0])

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1) #Master Layout


cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1)#Layout A
cmds.text(width=100, height=20, label='Select GEO for Tile', backgroundColor=[0,255,0])

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1)#Layout B
cmds.text(width=80, height=20, label='Rotate & Position the GEO on the Z axis',backgroundColor=[255,165,0])


cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2, backgroundColor=[0,0,0])#Layout C
cmds.text(width=80, height=20, label='Row')
cmds.intSliderGrp(width=150, height=12.5, field=True,minValue=0, maxValue=999, value=1 )

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2)#Layout D
cmds.text(width=80, height=20, label='Column')
cmds.intSliderGrp(width=150, height=12.5, field=True, minValue=0, maxValue=999, value=1)

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2)#Layout E
cmds.text(width=80, height=20, label='Height Offset')
cmds.intSliderGrp(width=150, height=12.5, field=True, minValue=0, maxValue=4, value=1.5)

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1)#Layout F
cmds.button(label='Create', width=80, height=15)

cmds.showWindow()

I know I have to define my tile, I was going to use a polyCube command, and non linear bend. Not really sure how to go about that. Or how to write the code to call upon the values from each slider.

Hello could anyone help me with this.

I'm trying to finish my function so that when I press create it references the information from my slider groups.

import random

There is a python package named maya, but I it's not what you you are looking for.
If you used pip install maya what you installed is a datetime manipulation package, see:
https://pypi.org/project/maya/

cmds is a class of the purchased product Maya (autodesk):
