🎀 QOROT(nged) 🎀

okay bestie so real talk — you're in the BRL-CAD User Commands section of the manual, and this little icon is called qorot, from the nged family. it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully, so let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

qorot — rotates an object through the specified angle (in degrees). that's it. that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qorot {x y z dx dy dz angle}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: you've got an object, you wanna spin it. qorot is your girl 💅 she rotates an object through the specified angle, and yes, the angle is in degrees (no radians jumpscare here, we're safe).

🚨 important heads-up, bestie: this command requires that MGED already be in matrix edit mode. it's giving "you must be this tall to ride" energy — no matrix edit mode, no rotation. periodt.

the edited object gets rotated about the axis defined by two things:

  • the start point — that's x y z 🎯
  • the direction vector — that's dx dy dz 🧭

and angle is how far you spin it, in degrees. that's the axis setup, that's the tea ☕

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

okay so the example here shows the use of the qorot command to rotate a currently edited object through a specified angle, from a specified starting point, in a particular direction. very demure, very mindful 🌸

⭐ Example 1. Rotate a currently edited object.

mged>qorot 1 2 3 0 0 1 25

so what's actually happening here? it rotates the currently edited object through 25° about the axis through the point (1, 2, 3) and in the Z-direction. icon behavior honestly 👑🔥
