3DM-G

## Name

3dm-g — Rhinoceros 3D Translator (3dm to BRL-CAD)

## Synopsis

`3dm-g` [-r] [-v] [-h] {-o `out.g`} {`file.3dm`}

## DESCRIPTION

3dm-g converts the file.3dm Rhino3D file to a BRL-CAD file.g file.

BRL-CAD utilizes the OpenNURBS library for reading and processing 3dm files. Since BRL-CAD also uses this library internally for NURBS support, 3dm-g import is generally a very direct and relatively problem free conversion path.

## OPTIONS

-o

  Specify the output name of the .g file.

-r

  Randomize colors assigned to imported objects.

-v

  Verbose reporting of conversion progress.

## EXAMPLE

Example 1. Verbose Reporting of Search Information

`mged>` `3dm-g -r -o nist.g NIST_MBE_PMI_7-10.3dm`

This example imports the BRL-CAD copy of NIST's MBE PMI models 7-10 to nist.g while randomizing the colors assigned to objects.

## DIAGNOSTICS

User will see OpenNURBS diagnostic reporting as the 3dm file is read.
