    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a function for scaling down a model drawn in free!ship from say 21' to 18' I've been tinkering with a sportboat type design and would like to possibly scale it down to a micro-cupper class. any info would be helpfull.
    Thanks
    Briggs

    From software side, no problem. Just go, transform, scale, and insert your new values (in %).
    But of course there are other issues.

    Regards

    Thanks,
    I tried that and see what you mean, the displacement was the most obvious problem.

    If the displacement was the main problem you may have overlooked the other ones.
    Shipbuilding is not playing software!
    Of course tinkering is ok.
    So, you are welcome.
