Hi Daniel, the error you're getting is from the polyCube <https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/polyCube.html> command. This commands does not have translation key words argument that you are trying to assign to it.
Solution: # get returned values of polyCube command cube = cmds.polyCube(name = name, width = width, height = height, depth = depth, subdivisionsWidth = subdivs, subdivisionsHeight = subdivs, subdivisionsDepth = subdivs) # set the 1st returned transform node. With the move <https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/move.html>command it is faster as you can set value relatively or absolutely cmds.move(translateX, translateY, translateZ, cube[0], r=True) # or you can also use the setAttr <https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/setAttr.html> command cmds.setAttr("{0}.translate".format(cube[0]), translateX, translateY, translateZ, type="double3") And.... yeah, here is a check to avoid creating the ground each time. # create it once until you delete it: None if cmds.objExists('Ground') else cmds.polyPlane(width=100, height = 100, name = 'Ground') or you can write: if cmds.objExists('Ground'): pass else: cmds.polyPlane(width=100, height = 100, name = 'Ground') Cheers!
