Curved Hull Menu - Create Shell Plate

This function creates shell plate objects. You can select to create a single plate, or to create multiple plates by indicating a grid of intersecting seams. In the single plate option, at least three and at most twelve seams should be picked in clockwise order (looking outwards from the inside of the surface), always starting with one of the shorter edges of the plate independently of if it is the aftmost edge or not. When creating multiple plates, first indicate all the butts (starting with the aftmost one), then press Operation Complete. Next, pick all the seams (starting with the one with the longest girth distance from CL) and finish with Operation Complete. Plate data is entered in the dialog described in the following section.
