Issues ShipConstructor

SC 2011

• APPROVAL
  • text placement - part text which has been dragged moves back to the old location after exploding the bound approval drawing
    • does not happen in nest drawings after preparing for CNC
  • double lines - created by SC, how to get rid of them, is there a way via SC by means of a setting somewhere?
    • see Approval drawing
  • leaders - mix up after binding the approval - possible solution: use 'middle of text' for left and right attachment
• NEST
  • finshes - many times they do not appear in the BOM
  • nest template - BOM must be split in columns when 1 column becomes too long to fit on the page
    • table can be stretched from the bottom
• HULL
  • radiused cutout contours turn into chamfered cutout contours after expansion
    • see this for workaround [1]
  • Attention to be paid when importing flat surfaces in hull from rhino. Changes in dimention may appear.
    • no solutions yet.

To do

• report - create template for stock summary (plate estimation)
• ctb file - update for SC colors (to be printed in black and white? or color so you can see difference between plate and profile?)

Expanding planes (interior)

Quoted from SC forum advising hull and flat surfaces(interiour projects):

After import to Hull – the flat surface is almost 5 mm smaller.

Our specialists from the Hull department have run a few tests with the surface that was failing to import correctly from Rhino into ShipConstructor. According to their explanation, flat surfaces are special case in ShipConstructor: setting the error tolerance to a smaller value while importing a flat surface into ShipConstructor doesn’t affect the mesh density for that surface, but it does affect the sampling density of trims. In rare cases, that may not be good enough due to "in-plane parametric shift", which means that even though the mesh density is satisfactory in representing the shape of the surface, parametric values calculated on that mesh may be shifted along the surface further than tolerance.
