AppendFace confusion

[andrew.nowicki]

It is not clear whether AppendFace is a command, or option of 3DFace command. If you type it into the command prompt, it runs the 3DFace command.

_AppendFace is shorthand for _3DFace _Mode=_MultipleFaces _Append. In other words it is a command that runs the longer script.

[andrew.nowicki]

Is there any difference between the AppendFace command and 3DFace command followed by AppendFace option?

[nathanletwory (Nathan 'jesterKing' Letwory)]

Not sure I follow, the _AppendFace command runs _3DFace _Mode=_MultipleFaces _Append. There is no option _AppendFace to the command _3DFace.

@nathanletwory

There is no option _AppendFace to the command _3DFace .

This is an option in Rhino 7.14.

[nathanletwory (Nathan 'jesterKing' Letwory)]

There is an _Append option.

[andrew.nowicki]

Type AppendFace into the command prompt of Rhino 7.14 and hit Enter key.

Andrew -

• There is an AppendFace command that is a simple alias for a macro involving the 3DFace command
• There is an Append option in the 3DFace command
• There is no AppendFace option in the 3DFace command

Yes, this macro is unique. It looks like beta experiment and is not mentioned in the Command Quick Reference.

[nathanletwory (Nathan 'jesterKing' Letwory)]

It is a command, that happens to run a macro.
