Description

This command creates a full or partial cone or cylindrical solid.

Inputs

base_x, base_y, base_z
The x, y and z coordinates specifying the center point of the cone/cylinder base location.
ivec_x, ivec_y, ivec_z
The x, y and z coordinates specifying the first axis vector from the base location.
jvec_x, jvec_y, jvec_z
The x, y and z coordinates specifying the second axis vector from the base location.
kvec_x, kvec_y, kvec_z
The x, y and z coordinates specifying the third axis vector from the base location.

Example

To create a cube solid with its origin at (10,10,10), aligned with global system axis, having size 5:

*solidblock 10 10 10 5 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 5
