3DM-G 1 BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
3dm-g Rhinoceros 3D Translator (3dm to BRL-CAD)
`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

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.
