Running the System Interactively

When modelling interactively in Planar Hull Modelling the user interaction takes place in a graphical Workspace. This Workspace consists of different views that the user has created in a "drawing". The views can be of different type like 3D views or symbolic Planar Hull Modelling views.

The picking of objects and components during the interaction can normally be made from any of these views, regardless of type. Normally also the selected items are highlighted in all views.

In functions where objects or components are created, these objects will be presented in all relevant views. However note the possibility to control which views to update via the View > Select function.

Although the Workspace is a "drawing" it need not contain any drawing form, but for convenience it is handled as a drawing regarding creation, deletion, storing and so on.
