🎀 RCC-CAP 🎀

okay bestie, so this one is from BRL-CAD User Commands (the nged corner of the world 🌸) and it's genuinely such a cute little tool — it rounds off the end of a cylinder using an ellipsoid. yes. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rcc-cap — the command that rounds the end of a cylinder with an ellipsoid 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rcc-cap {rccname newname} [height] [b] [t]

like, that's the whole call. two names required, then optional stuff. slay ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ — rcc-cap is used to round the end of a cylinder with an ellipsoid. it creates an ELL shape with the given height at one end of the specified RCC.

which end, you ask? you get to pick: base (b) or top (t) 🎀

and the actual default behavior is lowkey iconic: if you don't specify the height option, a spherical cap will be generated. no height? no problem. sphere it is 🦋

also — the default end is the base. so if you just vibe and don't say anything, it's rounding the bottom, periodt 💅

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

these two examples show the use of the rcc-cap command to round the base and the top of a cylinder with an ellipsoid 💖

🌸 Example 1. Round the base of a specified cylinder 🌸

mged>rcc-cap rcc.s cap.s 20

creates an ELL shape named cap.s with a radius of 20 units at the base of rcc.s. look at her go 😭✨

🦋 Example 2. Round the top of a specified cylinder 🦋

mged>rcc-cap rcc.s cap.s 20 t

creates an ELL shape named cap.s with a radius of 20 units at the top of rcc.s. same energy, opposite end, we love consistency 👑
