    Hello people.

    I joined this forum because I want to design a 3D hull for 3D printing. I choosed the program Freeship because I can export the file as IGES so I can import it to Onshape. It's al new to me because normally I am scratchbuilding my models.

    I am still learning the program but I have a problem now.

    In Freeship, I want to add a number of controlpoints at once. I hoped to do this with the function "Insert Plane" But I run into the problem that I cannot change the values of the numbers in the MIN and MAX box.
    Can somebody help me with this?

    Thank You in advance

    this box opens when you select the option "Insert plane" under the tab "points"

    I'm not familiar with Freeship but I guess min and max are the positions of min and max control point whereas distance needs to be specified for the distance between all the control points which are spread between min and max?

    Min and max are controlled by the extreme end control points already drawn. To adjust them manually adjust the points before inserting the plane.
