Name
in — 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.
DESCRIPTION
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).
arb 6 -- ARB (six vertices).
arb 5 -- ARB (five vertices).
arb 4 -- 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 -- TGC (top radii are scaled from base radii).
rec -- TGC (right elliptical cylinder).
trc -- TGC (truncated right circular cone).
rcc -- TGC (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.
