FIND_PIPE_PNT(nged)

💖 FIND_PIPE_PNT(nged) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the nged manual page for find_pipe_pnt — she's a little utility and honestly kind of a niche queen, but she does her one job flawlessly 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

find_pipe_pnt — find and identify a PIPE point 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

find_pipe_pnt pipe "view_x view_y view_z"
find_pipe_pnt pipe view_x view_y view_z

Two ways to feed her the coordinates, pick your vibe 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the find_pipe_pnt command goes digging through a PIPE primitive and identifies the segment that is closest to a given view coordinate. that's it. that's the whole personality. and she ate 🔥

If it works out, the command returns a single integer representing the numeric index of the closest pipe segment (seg_i). one whole number, no drama, no cap 👑

The arguments are, in order:

• pipe — the name of the PIPE primitive you want to search. literally just tell her which pipe to look at 🫶
• view_x view_y view_z — the X, Y, and Z coordinates (in view space) to test against. you can hand these over as either three separate numerical arguments or as a single quoted string — both slay, both valid, pick whichever feels right ✨

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Example 1. Identify a PIPE segment near a view coordinate 🌈

mged> find_pipe_pnt pipe.s "0 0 1"

Searches pipe.s for a segment that is closest to the view coordinate (0, 0, 1) and returns the numeric index of that segment. iconic behaviour, honestly 😭💖
