+ | =====Extra modeling tools===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Marine designers need specific tools to improve the hull design process. Read more about the topics or download the plug-ins by clicking on it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Installing plug-ins is simple as only two items are crucial: | ||
+ | - Downloading and installing the .rhp plug-in file via the plug-in menu in the Document Properties menu in Rhino. | ||
+ | - Activating the .tb plug-in toolbar buttons for easy use of the commands. Activate them under the menu: | ||

+ | =====Conclusions===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hull modeling conclusions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *There is a basic difference between surfaces created from lines and direct generated surfaces. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *The Rapid Hull Modeling Methodology is a good tool for beginners, innovative concept hull design and parametric modeling based on self written scripts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *[[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Direct control point manipulation is comparable with the Orca3D approach but more labour intensive and lacks the extra automated functionality. The extra tools combined with in-depth knowledge of Rhino offer comparable functionality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *T-Splines offer extra functionality to the other methods which need further examination. | ||
