GROUP(nged)

create or extend a non-region combination with specified members

📅 published 7.44.0, from nixpkgs unstable

💅 GROUP(nged) — like, the BRL-CAD User Commands era 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to GROUP(nged) from the BRL-CAD User Commands set — this is the page that teaches you how to make a plain little combination and stuff it full of your fave objects 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

group, g — create or extend a non-region combination with specified members 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

group gname object(s)
g gname object(s)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the group command (which also answers to the short and iconic nickname g) creates a brand-new non-region combination named gname, and it's gonna contain the objects you list as union members 🌸

and like — if gname already exists? no problem, it doesn't get mad, it just appends the objects you listed onto it as extra union members 👑

every single member gets added with the union (u) Boolean operator and with no transformation matrix. that's the whole vibe. no matrix, no drama 💅

also important: you gotta give at least one object name in addition to gname. like, at minimum. one friend for your group. it can't be a solo act 🎀

💡 want an actual region instead of a plain old combination? that's a whole different command — go use region or r, bestie. and if you want to pick your own Boolean operators, that's comb or c. don't try to make group be something it's not ✨

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

🌈 Example 1. Create a new group from two objects

mged> group vehicle.c hull.r turret.r

creates a brand-new combination vehicle.c with hull.r and turret.r chillin' in it as union members 🚗✨

🌈 Example 2. Use the short alias

mged> g assembly.c part1.r part2.r part3.r

creates assembly.c containing three union members, using the short g alias — same energy, fewer keystrokes, we love efficiency 👑

🌈 Example 3. Append to an existing group

mged> group vehicle.c wheels.r

adds wheels.r as a union member to the combination vehicle.c that already exists. see? told you it doesn't get mad 🫶
