Description

The "inside" command creates a new shape that is inside an existing shape. This command is typically used to create an inside shape that can be subtracted from the original shape to produce a hollow shell. The command is typically used with no arguments, and it prompts the user for all needed information; however, all the parameters may be supplied on the command line. If MGED is in primitive edit mode when the "inside" command is issued, then the shape currently being edited will be used as the "outside_shape." Similarly, if MGED is in matrix edit mode when the "inside" command is executed, then the current key shape will be used as the outside shape.

Example(s)

mged> inside out_arb in_arb 1 1 1 1 1 1

Create a shape named in_arb such that each face is 1 unit from the corresponding face in out_arb.

mged> inside in_arb 1 1 1 1 1 1

Create a shape named in_arb such that each face is 1 unit from the corresponding face in the current key shape or the shape currently being edited.
