.SH "NAME"
inside \- Creates a new shape that is \fIinside\fR an existing shape\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBinside\fR\ 'u
\fBinside\fR [\fIoutside_shape_name\ new_inside_shape_name\fR] {\fIparameters\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Creates a new shape that is
\fIinside\fR
an existing shape\&. This command is typically used to create an
\fIinside\fR
shape that can be subtracted from the original shape to produce a hollow shell\&. The command is typically used with no arguments, and it prompts the user for all needed information; however, all the parameters may be supplied on the command line\&. If MGED is in primitive edit mode when the
\fBinside\fR
command is issued, then the shape currently being edited will be used as the
\fIoutside_shape\fR\&. Similarly, if MGED is in matrix edit mode when the
\fBinside\fR
command is executed, then the current key shape will be used as the outside shape\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The first example shows the use of the
\fBinside\fR
command to create a shape inside another shape such that all its faces are 1 unit from the corresponding faces of the outside shape\&. The second example shows the use of the
\fBinside\fR
command to create a shape inside the current key shape or the shape currently being edited\&. The faces of the new shape will be 1 unit from the corresponding faces of the current outside shape\&.
.PP
\fBExample\ \&1.\ \&Create a shape inside of an existing shape.\fR

mged> \fBinside out_arb in_arb 1 1 1 1 1 1\fR
.RS 4
Creates a shape named
\fIin_arb\fR
such that each face is 1 unit from the corresponding face in
\fIout_arb\fR\&.

\fBExample\ \&2.\ \&Creates a shape inside of the current key shape or the shape being edited.\fR

mged>\fBinside in_arb 1 1 1 1 1 1\fR
.PP
Creates a shape named
\fIin_arb\fR
such that each face is 1 unit from the corresponding face in the current key shape or the shape currently being edited\&.
