HS/Radius Page

The HS/Radius page is used to create the Half Siding and Radius curves for either the Stem and Stern.

The first option is to read in the relevant definition from a prepared file (File), the user being prompted for the file on clicking Create.

Alternatively, if Manual is selected, the points defining the curves can be entered directly via the Manual Panel of the dialog, prior to clicking Create.

Type in the data points for the curve into the white columns of the grid. Change the point type by clicking in the blue grid box and selecting "Ordinary", "Tangent" or "Knuckle".

Points can be copied by selecting grid boxes or a whole line and then clicking the Right Mouse button and selecting COPY. Alternatively click <Ctrl-C>. Points can be pasted by selecting the grid box at which to paste and clicking the Right Mouse button and selecting PASTE. Alternatively click <Ctrl-V>. Points can be copied from and pasted to other products, for example Microsoft Excel.

Points can be deleted by clicking the Right Mouse button and selecting DELETE.

Extra lines for new points can be inserted by selecting the point at which to insert, clicking the Right Mouse button and selecting INSERT. To insert multiple lines, firstly select the number of lines you want to insert, and then select INSERT from the popup menu

A third option is available when defining the radius curve to enable the user to derive the curve from the half siding (From Half Siding).
