Hull Distortion

The design can be distorted or scaled from within Lines. A Sectional Area Curve (SAC) can be produced and subsequently modified by either the 1-cp or Lackenby methods. The 1-cp method allows the vessel's CB to be changed, while the Lackenby method allows CB, LCB, Parallel Midbody Forward (PBF) or Parallel Midbody Aft (PBA) to be modified. When the SAC has been modified, Lines allows the design to be distorted so that it matches the new SAC.

Lines can also linearly scale the major dimensions of the design.
