NAME

       LeoCAD - CAD program for LEGO models.

SYNOPSIS

       leocad [ infile [ -i [ outfile.ext ] [-w x] [-h y] ] ] [-l path]

DESCRIPTION

       LeoCAD   is  a CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models. It has an easy to use interface and includes
       thousands of different parts in its library.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all of the options that LeoCAD accepts. Most options have two equivalent names, one
       of which is a single letter preceded by -, and the other of which is a long name preceded by --. Brackets
       ([ and ]) indicate that an option takes an optional argument.

       infile Loads the project file infile

       -i [outfile.ext]
       --image [outfile.ext]
              Saves a picture to outfile.ext  in the image format specified by ext and exits. If outfile is  not
              given then the program will use a name based on infile. The file format is selected by ext and can
              be gif, bmp, png or jpg (if ext is not present then the default preferences format will be used).

       -w width
       --width width
              Sets the width of the picture to width.

       -h height
       --height height
              Sets the height of the picture to height.

       -f time
       --from time
              Start saving pictures at the step time.

       -t time
       --to time
              Save pictures until the step time.

       -m model
       --model model
              Sets the active submodel to model.

       -c camera
       --camera camera
              Sets the active camera to camera.

       --viewpoint front back left right top bottom home
              Sets the viewpoint to one of the predefined angles.

       --orthographic
              Use an orthographic projection.

       --highlight
              Adds a border around the pieces in the step they appear when saving pictures.

       -l path
       --libpath path
              Use alternate parts library found in path .  The Linux version of LeoCAD  uses  /usr/share/leocad/
              as the default.

       -obj [outfile.obj]
              Exports the model to wavefront format.

       -3ds [outfile.3ds]
              Exports the model to 3DS format.

       -dae [outfile.dae]
              Exports the model to COLLADA DAE format.

       -html [path]
              Creates an HTML page for the model.

       --html-parts-width width
              Sets the width of the part pictures when creating HTML pages to width.

       --html-parts-height height
              Sets the height of the part pictures when creating HTML pages to height.

ENVIRONMENT

       ``LEOCAD_LIB'' may be set to the path of the parts library.

EXAMPLES

        $ leocad car.lcd -i car.png -w 640 -h 480

       This  will  start  LeoCAD,  load  the  file "car.lcd," create a png called "car.png" with a resolution of
       640x480 and exit when done.
