To determine the properties of a primitive, use the l command followed by the
 +
primitive name. The example below shows the output of the l command against a [[right circular cylinder]]:
 +
 
 +
l cyl1.s
 +
 +
cyl1.s: truncated general cone (TGC)
 +
V (4, 4, -25)
 +
Top (4, 4, 31)
 +
H (0, 0, 56) mag=56
 +
H direction cosines=(90, 90, 0)
 +
H rotation angle=0, fallback angle=90
 +
A (14, 0, 0) mag=14
 +
B (0, 14, 0) mag=14
 +
C (14, 0, 0) mag=14
 +
D (0, 14, 0) mag=14
 +
AxB direction cosines=(90, 90, 0)
 +
AxB rotation angle=90, fallback angle=90
 +
 
 +
So, the primitive values for the [[right circular cylinder]] are as follows:
