Deletes the specified list of objects from the mged display.

📅 published 7.44.0, from nixpkgs unstable

💅 D(nged) — the manual page, but make it cute

okay so this is a page from the nged manual (yes, that nged, the BRL-CAD one, hi bestie 🫶) and it's about the d command. short name, big slay energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

d — deletes the specified list of objects from the mged display. literally that's it, that's the whole job 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

d {objects}

like, you just hand it some objects and it's over for them 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So d deletes the specified list of objects from the mged display. That's the vibe. It's a synonym for the erase command, so if you already know erase, congrats, you already know this one 😌

Now here's the part you actually need to know, bestie, so listen up 👑 Only objects that have been explicitly displayed may be deleted with the d command — use the who command to see a list of explicitly displayed objects, iykyk.

Objects that are displayed as members of explicitly displayed combinations</> cannot be deleted from the display with this command. nope. not happening. if that's what you're trying to do, see erase -r 💅

okay and this is the big one: this has no effect on the BRL-CAD database itself. none. zero. the display is the display, the database is the database. To actually remove objects from the database, use the kill command. don't mix these up, fr fr 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

The example shows the use of the d command to delete a region and a shape from the mged display. iconic behavior honestly 🍓

Example 1. Delete a region and a shape from the mged display.

mged>d region1 shapea

Deletes region1 and shapea from the mged display. gone. poof. ate and left no crumbs 💀✨
