shpe

       'shpe' <name|!> ['pln' <P1> <P2> <P3>] |['cyl'|con'|sph']

This keyword is used to create a shape which can be used to define the interiour of surfaces or to be used as a target for projections (see proj) oe to split entities (see split). A plane shape is defined with the parameter ``pln'' followed by the names of three points:
shpe H001 pln P1 P2 P3
Other types of shapes are planned but not implemented so far (cyl, con, sph). If automatic name generation is desired, then use ''`!`'' instead of a name. See also ``qshp'' for the mouse controlled definition of shapes.
