| 17:50.34 | brlcad | enginuitor: you go into solid edit mode to edit any primitive you make |
| 17:50.57 | brlcad | the edit menu is a good place to start ;) |
| 17:51.54 | enginuitor | Menu? What about the command line? :) |
| 17:51.54 | brlcad | as for "create multiple individual parts, then attach them together in an assembly" .. parts in brl-cad are called 'regions', you combine regions into higher level combinations/groups to make the equivalent of an assembly |
| 17:52.00 | enginuitor | ok |
| 17:52.47 | brlcad | the 'sed' command will go into solid edit mode on a given primitive |
| 17:52.58 | brlcad | or you can kill then, and re-'in' then |
| 17:53.17 | brlcad | depending on the primitive, there are specialized commands for certain edit operations |
| 17:54.31 | enginuitor | OK, I'm in solid edit mode now... the edges of the object turned white, and numbers appeared by the vertices |
| 17:55.23 | enginuitor | Hold on... before I bother you any more, lemme see if the tutorial covers this... |
| 17:55.25 | enginuitor | :) |
| 17:59.17 | brlcad | for basic operations, you can use the tra/sca/rot commands to translate/scale/rotate etc |
| 17:59.43 | brlcad | the tutorial mostly focuses on the gui of course though the commands are slowly covered over many tutorials |
| 18:00.42 | enginuitor | Hmm, OK, sca works for scaling the entire object, but is there a way to directly edit the dimensions? |
| 18:01.00 | enginuitor | Would it be easier just to delete it and "in" a new one? |
| 18:01.02 | brlcad | if your EDITOR environment var was set correctly, you can issue the ted command on a solid to text edit a solid's parameters as well |
| 18:03.30 | brlcad | if you just created the object, it is often easier to kill and in again -- you don't have to use 'in' interactively, up arrow will show the full sequence |
| 18:04.09 | enginuitor | ok |
| 18:04.18 | enginuitor | How do I display a shape's dimensions? |
| 18:04.23 | brlcad | l object |
| 18:05.10 | enginuitor | thanks |
| 18:05.42 | brlcad | fwiw, since you are interested in command-line commands, there are equivalent 'apply'/'accept'/'reject' commands for solid or object edit mode |
| 18:05.58 | enginuitor | ok |
| 18:06.37 | enginuitor | How do I draw all? |
| 18:06.45 | enginuitor | ...as opposed to typing a specific object name |
| 18:08.09 | brlcad | er, what do you mean by "draw all"? |
| 18:08.38 | enginuitor | Basically, I want to achieve the same effect as typing "draw ____" for each region in the database |
| 18:08.46 | enginuitor | Am I not thinking right? :) |
| 18:08.59 | brlcad | you can use globbing, but for drawing "everything" that is rarely never what you want for real models |
| 18:09.04 | enginuitor | OK |
| 18:09.08 | brlcad | at least once you have more than a few combinations |
| 18:09.13 | enginuitor | Well, I've got to go drive someone somewhere |
| 18:09.16 | enginuitor | Thanks for your help! |
| 18:09.28 | brlcad | naming conventions on your region |
| 18:09.35 | brlcad | so you can 'e *.r' |
| 18:10.17 | brlcad | cheers |
