Step 2: Creating a Brick

We can now begin to create a geometric model on which the mesh will then be built. Create a brick with a width of 10, a depth of 10, and a height of 10, i.e. a cube. The width and depth correspond to the x and y dimensions (coordinate axes) of the entity being created; they are measured horizontally and vertically on the screen. The height, or z dimension, extends out of the plane of the screen. The command to create this entity is:

FIDESYS> create brick width 10 depth 10 height 10 (OR)

FIDESYS> create brick x 10
