SYNOPSIS

put {object type} [attrs]...

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new object of indicated type. Objects attributes are per-object dependent, although there are some similarities among different object types (i.e. both sph and ell have a vertex 'V'). Use the form command for possible attributes and correct paramater forming. Possible values for type are:

  • annot — 2d annotations

  • arb8 — ARB (eight vertices)

  • arbn — ARB (n vertices)

  • ars — Arbitrary faceted solid

  • binunif — Uniform-array binary object

  • bot — bag of triangles

  • brep — Boundary Representation

  • cline — Cline element

  • comb — Combination

  • constrnt — Constraint

  • datum — Datum set

  • dsp — Displacement map

  • ebm — Extruded bitmap

  • ehy — Elliptical Hyperboloid

  • ell — Ellipsoid

  • epa — Elliptical Paraboloid

  • eto — Elliptical Torus

  • extrude — 2d Extrusion

  • grip — Support for joints

  • half — Half space

  • hrt — Heart

  • hyp — Hyperboloid

  • joint — Joint

  • material — Material

  • metaball — Metaball

  • nmg — Non-Manifold Geometry

  • part — Particle

  • pipe — Pipe

  • pnts — Collection of points

  • poly — Polygon

  • rec — Truncated General Cone (right elliptical cylinder)

  • revolve — Truncated general revolve

  • rhc — Right Hyperbolic Cylinder

  • rpc — Right Parabolic Cylinder

  • script — Procedural script

  • sketch — 2d sketch

  • sph — Ellipsoid (sphere)

  • submodel — Instanced submodel

  • superell — Superquadratic Ellipsoid

  • tgc — Truncated General Cone

  • tor — Torus

  • vol — 3d volume

EXAMPLES

The following are run from the MGED command prompt.

Example 1. Create a sphere.
mged> put ball sph V {0 0 0} A {100 0 0} B {0 100 0} C {0 0 100}

Creates a sphere named "ball", centered at (0,0,0), and with radius 100
