building-blocks face transform command

Syntax

building-blocks face transform <origin v_o > <control-point b > keyword <range>

Primary keywords:

reflect    rotate    scale    translate

Transform a face (via its points). If <range> is not specified all faces are transformed.

For those options that require an origin (rotate, reflect, and scale) the optional origin may be supplied to specify the origin for the operation.

The <control-point b> option for the edges with control points indicates whether control-points on an edge should move if only one of the points of that edge is moved. For the faces with control points the option indicates where control-points of a face should move if not all of the face points are moved. The default is true. This option has no effect with reflect keyword.

reflect keyword

Make a reflection transformation about a plane.

dip f1 dip-direction f2

Specify the mirror plane defined by dip angle f1 and dip direction f2. Angles are defined in degrees.

plane v_1 v_2 v_3

Specify the mirror plane defined by three points v_1 v_2 v_3.

rotate direction v angle f

Rotate by angle f, in degrees, using rotation axes that go through the coordinate origin in the direction v.

scale v

Scale the point positions by expanding or contracting their distance from the origin by a factor of v in the \(x\)-, \(y\)-, and \(z\)-directions, respectively.

translate v

Perform a translation — adding v to each coordinate point of the face to be transformed.
