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. Color green.
• Trim lines - layer for all the lines used to trim surfaces. Color cyan.
• Surfaces (or Hull, Superstructure, etc.) - layer for the original, unmodified, surfaces from the surface model.
• 4mm (or 5mm, 8mm, etc) - layer for all the trimmed surfaces of this thickness, ready for export to ShipConstructor Hull. Color conform plate thickness (see Link title
• Solids - layer for the solids created from the prepared surfaces
