how to use Inline defined materials for Cprism

A_ Smith — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 02:37:03 GMT

Is it possible to use not materials index, but kinda its name (pre-defined materials in gdl has names, not index) basically for all shapes with prism_, tube and so on ?

define material 'purple' 2, 1, 0, 1 define material 'white' 2, 1, 1, 1 material 'purple' mat1=10 ! black pen 1 _si=15 block 1,1,1 add 2, 2, 0 cprism_{3} 'white' , 'white' , 'white' , 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0, _si, mat1, 0, 1, 0, _si, mat1, 1, 1, 0, _si, mat1, 1, 0, 0, _si, mat1, 0, 0, 0, -1, mat1 add 2, 2, 0 material 'white' mat2=76 ! green mat3=78 ! yellow cprism_{3} 'purple', 'purple', 'purple', 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0, _si, mat3, 0, 1, 0, _si, mat3, 1, 1, 0, _si, mat3, 1, 0, 0, _si, mat3, 0, 0, 0, -1, mat3 add 2,2, 0 block 1,1,1

Hi A_Smith,

No a numerical expression is required for mat1, mat2 and mat3 variable,

but you can easily set them with the IND command :

define material 'purple' 2, 1, 0, 1 define material 'white' 2, 1, 1, 1 mat1 = IND (MATERIAL, 'purple') mat3 = IND (MATERIAL, 'white') _si=15 pen 1 cprism_{3} 'white' , 'white' , 'white' , 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0, _si, mat1, 0, 1, 0, _si, mat1, 1, 1, 0, _si, mat1, 1, 0, 0, _si, mat1, 0, 0, 0, -1, mat1 add 2, 2, 0 cprism_{3} 'purple', 'purple', 'purple', 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0, _si, mat3, 0, 1, 0, _si, mat1, 1, 1, 0, _si, mat3, 1, 0, 0, _si, mat1, 0, 0, 0, -1, mat3
