Hi Victor,

I find your improvement on Freeship quite impressive. However, I'm not so much interested in calcs in Freeship, but rather on the design features, and the ability to produce accurate 3D models without using other softwares. So, for my own purpose, unfortunately, most of your improvements are useless, even if they are probably very useful for many people !!!
The main improvements I would like to find in Freeship are the following ones :

1- the ability to create and use groups of layers. When you have many layers, over 10, it becomes frustrating to have to select or deselect all the layers but one, when you just want to work on one layer and show it only. If it was possible to arrange layers by groups, or at least to have a specific button to select / deselect all layers all at once, that would be a great improvement.

2- it would be great to have a wizard to generate bulkheads. When you export the project as offsets (txt file), if you previously defined stations where you want bulkheads to be, it is possible to get coordinates of the bulkheads in the txt file, and create new faces in the project for bulkheads (especially if edges are creased, the corners are noted "knuckle"). However, it would be much more easier if there was a direct tool to do that.

3- third improvement - last but not least - the ability to add thickness to faces. This is probably the most difficult thing to do, but how handy it would be. I can imagine that if you give a thickness to the layer in its property window, the layer would be doubled to simulate the thickness, and any connected face would be offset. So to add thickness, the program creates a group of faces instead of a single face, but the group can be managed as if it was a single face. I don't know if I'm very clear, but that's the general idea. Let me know if it's unclear.

As you can see, it's all about improving the design features of Freeship, this time. Okay, for the moment it's just the dream of a user, but maybe you can make the dream come true ! If other people feel like me, please write it.

In any case, Victor, thank you for your work !

Is it me or are we 100 year backwards? Free means anything? (think about it you may be thinking the same as me)

 

i want iges import in freeship.

 

Chris

I have taken into consideration your offers..

version 2.94+

I've tried downloading and installing version 2.94. when I try run the program I get this message: " this aplication has failed to start because fortlib.dll was not found. reinstalling the aplication may fix this problem"
what does this mean? how do I fix it?

 

your main folder is missing fortlib.dll file; you can manually paste the file on the folder of freeship.

 

My request to victor;
please include 3dm or iges/dxf import in freeship.
