FACEDEF(nged)

Allows the user to redefine any face of an ARB8 shape.

📅 published 7.44.0, from nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is facedef from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual, page FACEDEF(nged) — and it literally allows the user to redefine any face of an ARB8 shape. no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

facedef {####} [[a] | [b] | [c] | [d] | [parameters]]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here’s the vibe: facedef lets you redefine any face of an ARB8 shape. real talk: the user must be in Primitive Edit Mode with an ARB selected for editing. that part is not optional, bestie 💅

the optional parameters may be omitted, and MGED will prompt for the missing values — easy peasy. 🫶

the options are as follows:

  • a — specify the new location of this face by providing coefficients for its plane equation: Ax + By + Cz = D
  • b — specify the new location of this face using three points.
  • c — specify the new location of this face using rotation and fallback angles.
  • d — specify the new location of this face by changing the D value in the plane equation.
  • q — return to MGED prompt.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

the first example shows the use of the facedef command with the a option to redefine a specified face so that it is in another plane. the second example shows the use of the facedef command with the b option to redefine a face so that it is in another plane formed by three points. iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

🌸 Example 1. Moving a specified face so that it is in another plane. 🌸

mged> facedef 1234 a 1 0 0 20
    Moves face 1234 such that it is in the yz plane at x= 20.

🦋 Example 2. Moving a specified face so that it is in another plane formed by three points. 🦋

mged> facedef 5678 b 0 0 10 10 0 10 10 10 10
    Moves face 5678 such that it is in the plane formed by the three points (0 0 10), (10 0 10), and (10 10 10).
