SHELL(nged)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the SHELL(nged) page from the BRL-CAD User Commands set, and the main character is shells 💅

shells — separates the specified NMG shape into its constituent shells. literally that's the whole gig, bestie 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

shells [NMG_shape]

that's it. short, sweet, iconic ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So shells separates the specified NMG shape into its constituent shells. each shell gets written to the database as a separate NMG object, with a name of the form shell” with a number appended to make the name unique — lowkey obsessed with the uniqueness moment 💖

If the NMG has only one shell, then only one new object will be created. no extra drama, no surprise bonus objects 👑

This differs from the decompose command in that decompose will actually break the object into a number of separate shells if possible. so like... they're cousins, not twins, fr fr 🧚

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

The example shows the use of the shells command to break an NMG shape into its constituent shells.

Example 1. Break an NMG shape into its constituent shells.

mged>object.nmg

Breaks the NMG shape named object.nmg into its constituent shells. yep, that's the example line exactly as written — no cap, we keep it verbatim 💀✨
