grip are being replaced by constraint. pg was replaced by bot. hf was replaced by dsp. bspline was replaced by brep (nurbs). We maintain and track backwards compatibility very strictly and changes must be announced far in advance, so it just takes a while for them to actually disappear. > These are just stubs, not functional (even with native BRL-CAD tools), > so really not high priority... Agreed, though some of them may be implemented before GSoC is over. > This page is a good start: > > http://brlcad.org/wiki/BRL-CAD_Primitives For the visually oriented, http://brlcad.org/gallery/diagrams/primitives Cheers!
