Obtaining heeled waterlines in Freeship

1. Close you hull on the centerline, see first image
2. Mirror in the centerplane, see second image (do NOT connect to already existing points!
3. Rotate 20 degrees around the longitudinal axis, image 3
4. Finally turn of the symmetry property of your hull layers, so the calculated volume is not doubled automaticaaly anymore since you have the hull modeled on both sides already

 

Why do you need to close the centerline?...works fine without doing that and connecting the points. You're right about the symmetric part though. Thnx for the catch.

 

Ahh, beaten at my own game.....

 

Nah! you're playing by the rules that you wrote...I just like to bend them till they break....

 

And how do you disable "symmetric" option without disabling "use for hydrostatics" option too?

 

You do both...you don't need it as the program is already doubling everything to cover both sides.

 

from other threads i remember foreign copy cat selling your stuff
tomorrow i try above's, hydro's too, thanks

works fine, does keel and rudder wizzard too and looks great!
