KILL nged BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
kill Deletes specified objects from the current database.
`kill` -f objects

## DESCRIPTION

Deletes the specified objects from the current database. This command affects only the objects actually listed on the command line. If a combination is killed, its members are not affected. If the -foption is specified, then kill will not complain if some, or all, of the objects specified do not actually exist in the database. Note that the objects are killed immediately. There is no need for a `write file` command in MGED, and there is no `undo` command. Use this command with caution. Other commands that remove objects from the database are `killall` and `killtree`.

The `-q` option may be added to suppress database object lookup messages reporting failure, which will otherwise let the user know an invalid object was specified.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the `kill` command to delete specified objects from the database.

Delete objects from the database.

mged> `kill group1 region2 shapeb`

  Deletes group1, region2, and shapeb from the database.
