## Name

facetize — Creates new_object as a BOT shape by tessellating all the primitive shapes in old_object and then performing any Boolean operations specified in old_object.

## Synopsis

`facetize` [[-n] | [-t] | [-T]] [[-P] | [`#`]] {`new_object old_object`}

## DESCRIPTION

Creates new_object as a BOT shape by tessellating all the primitive shapes in old_object and then performing any Boolean operations specified in old_object. The -T option indicates that all faces in the new_object should be triangulated. The -n option specifies that the resulting shape should be saved as an NMG shape. The -t option is to create TNURB faces rather than planar approximations (this option is still under development. The -P option is intended to allow the user to specifiy the number of CPUs to use for this command, but it is currently ignored.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the facetize command to create a facetized BOT version of an existing object (old_object) and renaming that facetized object( new_object).

Example 1. Create a facetized BOT version of an existing object.

`mged>` `facetize region1.nmg region1.r`

  Creates a facetized BOT version of existing object region1.r.
