okay bestie, welcome to the P(nged) page from BRL-CAD User Commands 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

p — gives you precise control over primitive editing operations that would normally be done using the mouse or knobs. No cap. 🎯

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

p {value1} [value2 value3]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so p is literally your precision bestie for primitive editing 💖 It provides precise control over primitive editing operations that would normally be done using the mouse or knobs.

Like, a shape rotate may be performed by selecting rotate from the primitive edit menu, then providing the rotation angles with the p command. A command of p 0 30 0 would rotate the edited shape through 30° about the y axis. 🌀✨

Similarly, many of the individual parameters of the edited shape may be set exactly using the p command. If the scale H menu item is selected while editing a TGC, then the value1 supplied with a p command specifies the actual length of the height vector for that TGC. This method is the recommended technique to set precise values for shape parameters. 👑

The translate and rotobj commands provide a similar capability for object editing. 🫶

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

The example shows the use of the p command to precisely set the currently selected shape parameter of the currently edited shape. Bestie, it’s giving precision. 🎀

Example 1. Set the currently selected shape parameter of the currently edited shape.

mged>p 30

Sets the currently selected shape parameter of the currently edited shape to 30 units. slay. 💅
