G-RAW 1 BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
g-raw RAW Translator (BRL-CAD to RAW)
`g-raw` -o output_file -m output_directory -i -8 -D calculation_tolerance -a absolute_tol -r relative_tol -n normal_tol -xX level -v database.g object(s)

## DESCRIPTION

`g-raw` converts the specified object(s) from a BRL-CAD database.g file to the stereolithography file format.

The following options are recognized.

`-o PATH`

  Specify output file name (default is stdout).

`-m DIR`

  Specify a directory for output files. Each region converted is written to a separate file. File names are constructed from the full path names of each region (the path from the specified object to the region). Any "/" characters in the path name are replaced by "@" characters and "." and white space are replaced by "_" characters. If the -m option is not specified, all regions are written to the same file. The `-o` and `-m` options are mutually exclusive.

`-i`

  Use inches as the output format (the default is mm).

`-8`

  Facetize using the marching cubes algorithm.

`-D#`

  Specify a calculational distance tolerance (mm). Any two vertices that are less than this distance apart will be treated as the same vertex.

`-a#`

  Specify the absolute tesselation tolerance.

`-r#`

  Specify the relative tesselation tolerance.

`-n#`

  Specify the surface-normal tesselation tolerance.

`-x#`

  Specify an RT debug flag.

`-X#`

  Specify an NMG debug flag.

`-v`

  Enable verbose output.
