Re: [brlcad-users] Anyone remember an mged command called "cut"? (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Christopher S. M. <br...@ma...>]

David,

That's not ringing bells with at least myself or Bob Parker.. maybe someone else recalls this one..  Do you recall a version (or year)?Sounds like a pretty odd command, though.  Was the box 2D or 3D?  Did the object have to be fully contained within the box or just some part of it overlap the box?

It wouldn't be hard to write a script or command that does as you suggest for fully contained primitives inside an arb8 or inside a 2D rect on the view, but the utility seems somewhat limited for general use.

Cheers!
Sean
