:: Generates a manifold face in the first encountered shell of the NMG object. Vertices are listed as the ''suffix'' and define the winding-order of the face. Faces require at least three specified vertices, each specified by three coordinates. In addition to creating a face, the subcommand will join edges of the new face with dangling edges of other faces in the same shell. This makes it easier for the application to generate topologically correct, closed, manifold objects.

==Proposed subcommands==
:: Removes the vertexuse and vertex geometry of the selected vertex (via its coordinates). When specifying vertex to be removed, user generally will display vertex coordinates in object via the MGED command [http://brlcad.org/wiki/MGED_CMD_labelvert labelvert]. '''Note: vertex selection via their index number is not currently supported.'''
 
 
 
::For example: 
 
::: '''mged>''' labelvert myobj 
 
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobj kill V 0.0 2.537 1.289
 
 
 
: '''kill F'''
 
:: Removes the faceuse and face geometry of the selected face (via its index). When specifying the face to be removed, user generally will display face indices in object via the MGED command [http://brlcad.org/wiki/MGED_CMD_labelvert labelface].
 
  
::For example: 
+
: ''' create V ''' ''vertex-list''
::: '''mged>''' labelface myobj 
+
:: Creates vertices in first encountered region and shell, using the ''vertex-list''. For example: nmg myobject create V 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobj kill F 14
+
: ''' create F '''  
 
+
:: Creates faces in first encountered region and shell. First, assigns a distinct color to each vertex in the model and assigns a corresponding enumeration. Command returns lines for each vertex. The line format is: vertex # (selectable by user), and vertex color. The output line text color is the vertex color for that line. The geometry viewer labels all vertices in their colors, until a ''face-list'' is entered at the subsequent prompt for input.
: ''' move V ''' ''x_initial y_initial z_initial x_final y_final z_final''
 
:: Moves an existing vertex specified by the coordinates ''x_initial y_initial z_initial'' to the position with coordinates ''x_final y_final z_final''.
 
 
 
::For example:
 
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobject move V 1.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 2.0
 
 
 
: ''' make V ''' ''vertex-list''
 
:: Creates a new vertex and shell for all vertices, using the ''vertex-list''.  
 
 
 
::For example:  
 
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobject make V 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
 
 
 
: ''' make F ''' ''face-list''
 
:: Creates face(s) in first encountered region and shell. General usage is to first label vertices with their index number using [[MGED_CMD_labelvert#Proposed_Argument.28s.29 | labelvert -i]].
 
 
   
 
   
 
::For example:   
 
::For example:   
::: '''mged>''' labelvert -i myobject
+
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobject create F
::: '''mged>''' nmg myobject make F 4 5 6 7 F 0 1 6 5 F 1 2 7 6 F 2 3 4 7 F 0 5 4 3  
+
::: '''mged>''' F 4 5 6 7 F 0 1 6 5 F 1 2 7 6 F 2 3 4 7 F 0 5 4 3
 
+
: '''kregion'''
'''Note: index numbers may change after 'make F' command. Thus, execute labelvert witht the -i option before each use of 'make F'.'''
+
:: Removes the region and its geometry for the selected region. First, assigns a distinct color to each region in the model and assigns a corresponding enumeration. Command returns lines for each region. The line format is: region # (selectable by user), and region color. The output line text color is the region color for that line. The geometry viewer labels all regions in their colors, until the region is selected for removal at the subsequent prompt for input.
 +
: '''kshell'''
 +
:: Removes the shell and its geometry for the selected shell. First, assigns a distinct color to each shell in the model and assigns a corresponding enumeration. Command returns lines for each shell. The line format is: shell # (selectable by user), and shell color. The output line text color is the shell color for that line. The geometry viewer labels all shells in their colors, until the shell is selected for removal at the subsequent prompt for input. 
 +
: '''kface'''
 +
:: Removes the faceuse and face geometry of the selected face. First, assigns a distinct color to each face in the model and assigns a corresponding enumeration. Command returns lines for each face. The line format is: face # (selectable by user), and face color. The output line text color is the face color for that line. The geometry viewer labels all faces in their colors, until the face is selected for removal at the subsequent prompt for input.
 +
: '''kvertex'''
 +
:: Removes the vertexuse and vertex geometry of the selected vertex. First, assigns a distinct color to each vertex in the model and assigns a corresponding enumeration. Command returns lines for each vertex. The line format is: vertex # (selectable by user), and vertex color. The output line text color is the vertex color for that line. The geometry viewer labels all vertices in their colors, until the vertex is selected for removal at the subsequent prompt for input.
