I am beginner in naval design on MAXSURF. I imported an IGES file after drafting my design in SOLIDWORKS. Can anybody tell me how to INVERT THE PLAN view to align with the base line & zero mark with my canoe keel AND how to ROTATE the BODY PLAN view so that i can get a proper front view?
What other references should i take care after importing the CAD file from solidworks into MAXSURF....Should i directly go for analysis?
I am working on my semester project, your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

AnONY 123 when you import into maxsurf you can change the import parameters for the file to a line the model to the correct alignment, also it would be better to import only one side then turn on symmetrical in surface properties.
