Purpose
To split a ship design into two separate designs.
Syntax
|
SPLIT ( SECTION $N ) < $W $W > |
Description
Using the SPLIT command, a ship can be split at a given Section, Pline or Tangent. Two new designs are created. If new names are not given by the user then, for example, a design ship will be split into shipa and shipf.
If a Pline or Tangent is used as the split point, then the curve must be in an orthogonal x-plane.
When the ship is split, a new Tangent, with an associated Angle curve, is created and copied to the two new designs in order to maintain the correct tangency at the split. The Tangent will have the name Txposition. For example, if the ship is split a x=21.0, then a Tangent with name T21000 will be created.
Any patches which cross the split will be lost.
