Model an adjustable wrench in 3D using BRL-CAD

completed by: Sharan Narayan

mentors: starseeker

This task involves modeling a wrench in BRL-CAD. The wrench should be accurately modeled in such a way that it can be printed using a 3D printer.  This means that the model should have no overlaps (use rtcheck and/or g_qa gqa commands to verify) and will probably consist of three regions if you create a traditional adjustable wrench.  Create one top-level combination to group your regions.

The output of this task would be a rendered image and .g file of the model.
