Create Storable Plane

Purpose:

To create or modify a storable plane.

Prerequisites:

None.

Instructions:

• In create mode, the user must give a plane definition and a plane name. If a temporary plane (created with one of the Plane functions in the Geometry menu) is already selected, it will be used as the plane definition. If several planes are selected, the storable planes may be automatically named. The rules for auto naming of storable planes are the same as for hull curves.

• In modify mode, the user may change any part of the plane, including its name. The Modify Plane button lets the user change the plane definition.

Options:

None available.

Result:

• In create mode, a new storable plane will be created and selected. The Store function may be used to store the plane on the hull form data bank.

• In modify mode, the plane will be updated with the new definition data. To make the changes permanent, Store must be used. Using the Skip function before the plane has been stored will undo the changes.
