Bodyplan

Purpose:

To create a traditional bodyplan drawing or an additional view for modelling work.

Prerequisites:

There must exist a current drawing.

Instructions:

First specify a name (make sure that the name is not occupied by another object) and the limits of the view. Specify if the view should be created looking in either forward or aft direction.

Then specify which objects and type of information to be included in the view:

• Cross-sections and/or trace curves of longitudinal members,

• Seams and butts,

• Frames (cross-sections are drawn at a specific frame or all frames),

• Arbitrary hull curves,

• Traces of plane panels welded against the hull,

• A grid with arbitrary spacing.

  Cross-sections can be of three types:

• Full profile cross-section,

• The mould-line side of the profile,

• A tick

Options:

If the default parameter NOLONGNO is not set, then longitudinal names will be drawn.

Result:

A bodyplan view is created and placed interactively. Modelling work can be performed in the bodyplan view. When an object is created/modified the bodyplan view will be updated in the same way as any other type of view.
