Releasing Models

The release functions are used to release a hull surface and the belonging curves to a marine design project. If necessary, use the rename command to specify the correct surface name before the surface is released.

Release Surface

1. Select the command Release Surface to copy a surface to a marine design project.

   It's only possible to do a direct release from the Hull Surfaces area.

2. A primitive in the Primitive Assemblies area can still be released by following the steps below:

   1. Create a new hull surface by dragging a primitive to the hull surfaces node in the tree view.

   2. Use the rename function to specify the wanted name of the surface

   3. Release the surface.

Release Surface as Symmetric

This is basically the same function as Release Surface, but with the difference that the surface is marked as symmetric in the database. A symmetric surface is not allowed to cross the centerline.
