ANALYZE(nged) BRL-CAD User Commands ANALYZE(nged)

analyze - Report and/or compute analytical information about the listed objects.

analyze [options...] [subcommand]

summarize {obj...}

intersect [options...] {obj1 obj2 [...]...}

subtract [options...] {obj1 obj2 [...]...}

The analyze command provides an array of reporting and shape generation capabilities. The classic behavior (and the behavior users will see if calling without specifying a subcommand) is a report summarizing geometric information about the specified solid(s). This behavior may also be explicitly invoked by the summarize subcommand.

The intersect will take the first object specified and intersect it with any subsequently specified objects - in effect, building up a new object with the geoemtry common to all objects specified.

The subtract will take the first object specified and subtract from it any subsequently specified objects.

Example 1. Analyze a particular ARB
