MAKE(nged)

💅 MAKE(nged) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the make command from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual — the nged one, periodt. she creates a new_shape and the whole vibe is “pick your type, get your shape.” ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

make — creates a new_shape of the indicated type. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

make [-h] [-t] [-o "x y z"] [-s scale] new_shape type

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so make creates a new_shape of the indicated type. the new_shape gets sized according to the current view size, and that sizing is dependent on the type. literally the type is the main character here. 🫶

the possible values for type are:

• arb8 — ARB (eight vertices)
• arb7 — ARB (seven vertices).
• arb 6 — ARB (six vertices).
• arb 5 — ARB (five vertices).
• arb 4 — ARB (four vertices).
• bot — Bag of Triangles.
• sph — Ellipsoid (sphere).
• ell — Ellipsoid (ellipsoid of revolution).
• ellg — Ellipsoid (general ellipsoid).
• tor — Torus.
• tgc — Truncated General Cone (most general TGC).
• tec — Truncated General Cone (truncated elliptical cone).
• rec — Truncated General Cone (right elliptical cylinder).
• trc — Truncated General Cone (truncated right circular cone).
• rcc — Truncated General Cone (right circular cylinder).
• half — Half Space.
• rpc — Right Parabolic Cylinder.
• rhc — Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.
• epa — Elliptical Paraboloid.
• ehy — Elliptical Hyperboloid.
• eto — Elliptical Torus.
• part — Particle.
• nmg — Non-Manifold Geometry (an NMG consisting of a single vertex is built).
• pipe — Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).
• grip — Support for joints.
• extrude — Experimental.
• sketch — Experimental.

and the flags? okay so the -h option prints usage help. the -o option specifies the origin for the new primitive, and the -s option sets the initial size scale used when building the primitive. the synopsis also has -t, and Example 2 below shows it generating a list of shape types handled by make. no cap. 🍓

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

okay so the first example shows the use of the make command to create a sphere with a specified name. the second example shows the use of the make command with the -t argument to generate a list of shape types handled by make. iykyk. 💅

Example 1. Create a sphere having a specified name.

mged> make shapea sph
    Creates a sphere named shapea.

Example 2. Generate a list of shape types handled by make.

mged>make -t

Lists the shape types handled by make. 🌈
