pathsum {path}PATHSUM(nged)
NAME
pathsum - shared path-evaluation command related to *paths* and *listeval*
On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The pathsum implementation is shared by three related commands: pathsum, paths, and listeval. All three commands accept a model path specified either as slash-separated components or as space-separated components, but not both in the same invocation.
For interactive use, paths is usually the best choice when the goal is to enumerate all primitive paths below a starting point, and listeval is the best choice when the goal is to print the fully evaluated leaf primitive parameters for a path.
The shared implementation also recognizes the -t option when invoked as listeval. That option requests a terse primitive report for shapes with long parameter lists, such as BoTs.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Use the shared path-evaluation logic through listeval for a terse report.
mged>listeval -t vehicle.r/turret.r/bolt.s
Evaluates the full transform stack along the specified path and prints a concise description of the resulting primitive.
Example 2. Enumerate all leaf paths below a subassembly.
mged>paths vehicle.r/turret.r
Lists every primitive path that begins at vehicle.r/turret.r, which is useful before selecting one specific path for listeval or copyeval.
