A wire is a constant diameter 3D path made up of straight line sections. It is defined using the WIRE keyword, followed by the wire radius and an optional parameter defining the number of chords to use for the crossection.

   WIRE <radius> [<sides>]

Example

    WIRE 12.5 10

The WIRE keyword is immediately followed by a 3D polyline that defines the vertices of its centerline.

A 3D polyline is described by the number of 3D points it possesses, followed by the coordinate data on one or more new lines.

    3DPL <n_points>
    <x1> <y1> <z1> ... <xn> <yn> <zn>

Example

    3DPL 5
    0.0 0.0 0.0
    0.0 0.0 250.0
    300.0 0.0 250.0 
    650.0 0.0 250.0
    2300.0 0.0 0.0
