General applicable rules

GENERAL APPLICABLE RULES when using SC2005 & SC2008

Rules for viewing the structure:

• Frames - always look from AFT to FORWARD. The structure in FWD is marked dashed.
• Longitudinals- always look form STARBOARD to PORTSIDE. The structure in PORT is marked dashed.
• Decks- always look from TOP to DOwn.The structure under deck is marked dashed.

In every project you have to search for the sign where the thickness of frames is changing form Aft to Forward.

Structure part colors

• Green - outside cut
• Yellow - inside cut
• Cyan - continuous or dached - marking line
• Grey - no process (only text is part of plate parts).The other Grey entities except parts must be on CON layer.

PLANAR GROUPS

The start of every project is creating planar groups using Rhino sections for frames, longitudinals and decks. In every planar group after creation must be done the following:

• SC Utilities/Remove vertices below tolerance: 0.05
• SC Utilities/Activate UCS. SC2005 is planar gr name _C (ex. U1-F00_C) in SC2008 is planar group name_M.(ex. U1-F00_M)
• SC Utilities/3D to 2D
• Add the base lines/Central line using tool palette and customize it for the project.
