MGED CMD make

make

Syntax

make -t | new_shape_type

Argument(s)

-t

Return a list of shape types handled by make.

new_shape_type

Type of new shape to make.

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)
