The small segment will disappear and the panel will remain. Simply click a line segment between the panel and the centerline (making sure everything else is deselected) and press delete on the keyboard. That will disconnect the panel from the centerline and the model. You will now have a small segment between the panel and the centerline of your model. Making sure only the grey line between your two new points is highlighted, go to the edge group and select Set Crease. This is probably the most used command in Delftship. You need to change this grey line to an edge.īy the way, always make sure that nothing is highlighted that you don't want to change. The two points should now be connected by a grey line. The New Edge button in the Edge group should now be lighted. Click on one then hold down shift and click on the other. Then highlight both new points at the same time. Move that point (I assume you know how to move points) close to the centerline. The line you selected should now have a point in the middle of the edge. Then find the Edge Split button in the Edge Group. click on a forward or aft edge (it should turn from red to yellow). Next, you need to disconnect the panel from the centerline. Click OK, a Panel will appear on the side away from the half of the design you are working on. Put a value in the transverse, but make it Negative, such as -5.25, in whatever units you are using. It really doesn't matter whether the extrusion is horizontal or vertical, although it is convenient if you have a vertical edge to extrude off of because then you don't have to rotate it. The Extrude button will light up (it, like most of the buttons are greyed out when not activated.) When you click on the extrude button a dialogue box will pop up asking for a distance in the x, y or z plane (x is longitudinal, Y is transverse and Z is vertical distance above the baseline). Usually any edge that is on the outside of your design is a boundary edge, but the only way to find out is to try it. What the Heck is that? Well, the centerline is a boundary edge. My method for inserting bulkheads is fairly simple but has a lot of steps to it.įirst you need to use the Extrude command in the Edge group.
I had many difficulties but most of them actually have easy solutions once you dig them out of the jargon. Delftship can be rather daunting and you are right, many of the tutorials leave out a lot of steps and are aimed at experienced users. I have used Freeship and am now using Delftship.
