Freeship question.

[rapscallion]

I have 3 hulls in freeship - and I'm trying to build a trimaran. All of the hulls are the same size. They were mirrored into existence. How do I shrink the amas?

[marshmat]

Try using the Transform > Scale command on the layer that contains the amas. If they're on a separate layer from the main hull this should work.

[rapscallion]

Yes, that's the thing. All of the hulls are in the same layer after the mirror. I'll look into trying to change that. I don't know how to do that yet.

The thing is that would give me identical hulls but a different scale. What if I wanted a length to beam ratio of 10.5 to 1 on the main hull and 12 to 1 on the amas?

Export the whole thing as a .part and import the same .part into different layers. You can then cut out different bits in the two layers so you amas in one and main in the other.

You can scale by different amounts on each axis.

You can also choose a layer to be symmetrical or not. You can choose which layers are part of the hydrostatics as well. It is good to use different layers for different bits and name them accordingly.
