Contents
Syntax
- make -t | new_name new_shape_type
Argument(s)
- -t
- Return a list of shape types handled by make.
- new_shape_type
- Type of new shape to make.
- new_name
- Moniker of the new object.
Return Value(s)
- -t
- Return a list of shape types handled by make.
Description
The "make" command creates a new_shape of the indicated type. The new_shape is sized according to the current view size and is dependent on the type. The possible values for type are:
- arb8 -- ARB (eight vertices).
- arb7 -- ARB (seven vertices).
- arb6 -- ARB (six vertices).
- arb5 -- ARB (five vertices).
- arb4 -- ARB (four vertices).
- bot -- Bag of Triangles.
- sph -- Ellipsoid (center and radius).
- ell -- Ellipsoid (center and three semi-axes).
- ellg -- Ellipsoid (foci and chord length).
- 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).
- half -- Half Space.
- rpc -- Right Parabolic Cylinder.
- rhc -- Right Hyperbolic Cylinder.
- epa -- Elliptical Paraboloid.
- ehy -- Elliptical Hyperboloid.
- eto -- Elliptical Torus.
- part -- Particle.
- pipe -- Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).
- nmg -- Non-Manifold Geometry (an NMG consisting of a single vertex is built).
- grip -- support for joints.
- extrude -- experimental.
- sketch -- experimental.
Example(s)
- mged> make shapea sph
- Create a sphere named shapea
- mged> make -t
- Return a list of shape types handled by make
