G-RAW(1)

NAME

g-raw - RAW Translator (BRL-CAD to RAW)

SYNOPSIS

g-raw [-o output_file] [-m output_directory] [-i] [-8] [-D calculation_tolerance] [-a absolute_tol] [-r relative_tol] [-n normal_tol] [-xX level] [-v] database.g object(s)…​

DESCRIPTION

g-raw converts the specified object(s) from a BRL-CAD database.g file to the stereolithography file format.

The following options are recognized.

-o PATH

Specify output file name (default is stdout).

-m DIR

Specify a directory for output files. Each region converted is written to a separate file. File names are constructed from the full path names of each region (the path from the specified object to the region). Any "/" characters in the path name are replaced by "@" characters and "." and white space are replaced by "_" characters. If the -m option is not specified, all regions are written to the same file. The -o and -m options are mutually exclusive.

-i

Use inches as the output format (the default is mm).

-8

Facetize using the marching cubes algorithm.

-D#

Specify a calculational distance tolerance (mm). Any two vertices that are less than this distance apart will be treated as the same vertex.

-a#

Specify the absolute tesselation tolerance.

-r#

Specify the relative tesselation tolerance.

-n#

Specify the surface-normal tesselation tolerance.

-x#

Specify an RT debug flag.

-X#

Specify an NMG debug flag.

-v

Enable verbose output.

EXAMPLE

$ g-raw -o sample.raw sample.g sample_object
