Ship Surface

Normally, sculptured surfaces are stored and handled (created, modified, intersected) outside the actual Hull application, for example, in AVEVA Initial Design. Any surface related information is fetched from this "outside" source via calls to the surface processing module.

Anyhow, an object with the appropriate name must be available in the data bank for each of the surfaces to be used in a certain project. These objects are created at the same time as the names are noted in the Hull Reference object (see next paragraph). This is done via a feature of the hull utility inithull.
