Question

[zeroname]

Is ur Linesplane in autocad design file or a scan page? If it is scan page/picture go for maxsurf directly , do 3d then scale.

if it is in autocad format , then u can scale it first then go to maxsurf.

The question is u only need to scale down the Length of the vessel or no problem if Breadth and depth scale down too ?Because in Autocad if u select the Linesplane ,use the command scale and put .8851.... Enter , will scale down not only the length but also the Breadth and Depth.

If you want to keep Breadth and Depth Constant then its better to do 3D model first with 27 m ,, then go to Rhino and do the 1D scale of the model.

I assure you, things have been drawn out. The point is to learn the software with 3d modeling and so forth. If you have no real input than sarcastic remarks, your departure from the thread would be appreciated.

If I am wrong, I apologise.
