== Export settings: 3DM file format ==

For exporting surfaces to ShipConstructor Hull the 3DM file format is used. Save these files as Rhino 3 3D Models (Rhino 4 3D Models are not accepted by ShipConstructor).

== Preparing surfaces for expansion in ShipConstructor Hull and creating a solid model==

Use the following layers:
*'''Marking lines''' - Layer for all the lines which must be marked on the plate. Layer color green. Used for export to ShipConstructor Hull.
*'''Trim lines''' - Layer for all the lines used to trim surfaces. Layer color cyan.
*'''Surfaces''' (or Hull, Superstructure, etc.) - Layer for the original, unmodified, surfaces from the surface model.
*'''PL04 ST''' ''(example)'' - Layer for all the trimmed surfaces with these properties, ready for export to ShipConstructor Hull. Color conform plate thickness (see [[Link title]]), layer color to be black, surfaces to have the correct color (otherwise in ShipConstructor Hull the color must be set again). Used for expansion in ShipConstructor Hull
*'''Solids''' - Layer for the solids created from the prepared surfaces. Used for exporting curved plates to AutoCad and creating a DWF file.
