# inside

Creates a new shape that is inside an existing shape.

        inside
           outside_shape_name new_inside_shape_name
           parameters

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a new shape that is inside an existing shape. This command is typically used to create an inside shape that can be subtracted from the original shape to produce a hollow shell. The command is typically used with no arguments, and it prompts the user for all needed information; however, all the parameters may be supplied on the command line. If MGED is in primitive edit mode when the `inside` command is issued, then the shape currently being edited will be used as the outside_shape. Similarly, if MGED is in matrix edit mode when the `inside` command is executed, then the current key shape will be used as the outside shape.

## EXAMPLES

The first example shows the use of the `inside` command to create a shape inside another shape such that all its faces are 1 unit from the corresponding faces of the outside shape. The second example shows the use of the `inside` command to create a shape inside the current key shape or the shape currently being edited. The faces of the new shape will be 1 unit from the corresponding faces of the current outside shape.
