Create a VOL wiki page

completed by: Michael Huang

mentors: Kesha Shah, Ch3ck

We have wiki pages for many of our more complex 3D objects, but we don't currently have one for our "VOL" volumetric primitive.

You can see examples of other primitive info pages here:

  • http://brlcad.org/wiki/EBM
  • http://brlcad.org/wiki/Sketch
  • http://brlcad.org/wiki/DSP

This task involves writing a similar overview page on our wiki at http://brlcad.org/wiki/VOL

You'll obviously need to learn how to create a volumetric object in one of our geometry editors. Some pointers to get started are to run mged and run the "in" command to create a vol primitive interactively.
