BUILD_REGION(nged)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, this is build_region from the nged manual — the BRL-CAD User Commands corner of the universe. It builds a region from existing solids that have specifically formatted names based on the tags and numbers you provide. It’s giving “assemble the squad from pre-named solids” energy 💅✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

build_region [-a region_num] {tag start_num end_num}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

build_region takes existing solids with specially formatted names and builds a region out of them, based on the tags and numbers you give it. The created region will be named "tag.rx," as written on the page (comma included, iykyk), where x is the first number starting from 1 that produces an unused region name.

If the -a option is used, then the region_num you specify is used for x. If that region already exists, this operation appends the new geometry to the existing region definition. If that region does not exist, a new one gets created. Main character behavior, honestly 👑.

The solids involved in this operation are those with names of the form tag.s# or tag.s#o@, where # is a number between start_num and end_num inclusive, o is either u, -, or +, and @ is any number. The operators and numbers coded into the solid names are used to build the region. No cap 🧚.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

This example demonstrates how to use the build_region command to build a region from existing solids. Slay.

🎀 Example 1. Build a region from existing solids 🎀

mged> build_region abc 1 2

Creates a region named "abc.r1" consisting of:

• u abc.s1
• u abc.s2
• + abc.s2+1
• - abc.s2-1

provided that the above shapes already exist in the database. Like, they have to be in the database already, bestie — no spontaneous shape generation here 🙈💖.
