Syntax

in [-f] [-s] new_shape_name shape_type <parameters>

Argument(s)

-f

Optional. Does not draw solid.

-s

Optional. Send solid to Solid Edit Mode after creation.

new_shape_name

Name for new shape.

shape_type

Valid Shape Type

<Parameters>

Parameters required for defining new shape.

Return Value(s)

No Return Values for this command.

Description

The "in" command allows the user to type in the arguments needed to create a shape with the name new_shape_name of the type shape_type. The command may be invoked with no arguments, and it will prompt the user for all needed information. The -s option will invoke the primitive edit mode on the new shape immediately after creation. The -f option does not draw the new shape, and therefore the -s option may not be used in conjunction with -f. The possible values for shape_type are:

• arb8 -- ARB (eight vertices).
• arb7 -- ARB (seven vertices).
• arb6 -- ARB (six vertices).
• arb5 -- ARB (five vertices).
• arb4 -- ARB (four vertices).
• arbn -- Arbitrary polyhedron with arbitrary number of vertices (plane equations).
• bot -- Bag of Triangles.
• dsp -- Displacement Map.
• pipe -- Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).
• ebm --Extruded Bit Map.
• vol --Voxels.
• hf -- Height Field deprecated, see dsp.
• ars -- Arbitrary Faceted Solid.
• half -- Half Space.
• sph -- Ellipsoid (center and radius).
• ell -- Ellipsoid (center and three semi-axes).
• ellg -- Ellipsoid (foci and chord length).
• ell1 -- Ellipsoid (center, one semi-axis, and a radius of revolution).
• tor -- Torus.
• tgc -- Truncated General Cone (most general TGC).
• tec -- Truncated General Cone (top radii are scaled from base radii).
• rec -- Truncated General Cone (right elliptical cylinder).
• trc -- Truncated General Cone (truncated right circular cone).
• rcc -- Truncated General Cone (right circular cylinder).
• box -- ARB (vertex and three vectors).
• raw -- ARB (right angle wedge).
• rpp -- ARB (axis aligned rectangular parallelepiped).
• rpc -- Right Parabolic Cylinder.
• rhc -- Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.
• epa -- Elliptical Paraboloid.
• ehy -- Elliptical Hyperboloid.
• eto -- Elliptical Torus.
• part -- Particle.
