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.
