03:48.11 Twingy enginuitor, there is a primitive editor
03:48.30 Twingy you have to select the primitive, then a gui will let you control values

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
