MAKE(nged)

NAME

make - Creates a new_shape of the indicated type.

SYNOPSIS

make [-t] [new_shape type]

DESCRIPTION

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).

  • arb 6 — ARB (six vertices).

  • arb 5 — ARB (five vertices).

  • arb 4 — ARB (four vertices).

  • bot — Bag of Triangles.

  • sph — Ellipsoid (sphere).

  • ell — Ellipsoid (ellipsoid of revolution).

  • ellg — Ellipsoid (general ellipsoid).

  • tor — Torus.

  • tgc — Truncated General Cone (most general TGC).

  • tec — Truncated General Cone (truncated elliptical cone).

  • 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.

  • nmg — Non-Manifold Geometry (an NMG consisting of a single vertex is built).

  • pipe — Pipe (run of connected pipe or wire).

  • grip — Support for joints.

  • extrude — Experimental.

  • sketch — Experimental.

EXAMPLES

The first example shows the use of the make command to create a sphere with a specified name. The second example shows the use of the make command with the -t argument to generate a list of shape types handled by make.

Example 1. Create a sphere having a specified name.

mged> make shapea sph

Creates a sphere named shapea.

Example 2. Generate a list of shape types handled by make.

mged> make -t

Lists the shape types handled by make.
