• Level 2 curved plates split in 2 drawings, stringers split in 2 drawings

• • HULL
  • SUPERSTRUCTURE
  • STRINGERS-HULL expanded stringers hull
  • STRINGERS-SUPERSTRUCTURE expanded stringers superstructure

• Level 3 curved plates and stringers split in several drawings

• • HULL
  • BOTTOM
  • SPRAYRAIL

PLANAR GROUP NAMES

• Frame
  • FR02 full frame
  • FR02+050 intermediary frame at 50mm forward of frame 2

NOTE distances are always measured positive, forward of a frame (except for F00) Use 2 digits for frame number, 3 digits for intermediary distance

• Longitudinal
  • B0000G_C longitudinal at centerline
  • B0500P-LG01 portside longitudinal at 500mm from CL
  • B0750S-LG03 starboard longitudinal at 750mm from CL
  • B0200-0500P-LG05 skewed portisde longitudinal between B200 and B500

Use 4 digits for buttock distance, 2 digits for LG number

• Deck
  • W2500-DK01 deck at W2500 (2500mm above baseline)
  • W0200-0500-DK03 skewed deck between W200 and W500

• Use 4 digits for waterline distance, 2 digits for DK number
