Geometry File Modeler v6.0 - Overview

Geometry File Modeler creates, displays, and edits geometry files. The GHS modeling system uses a hierarchical system of "parts", "components", and "shapes". Parts are composed of one or more components. For example, the HULL part may be composed of the basic hull component, a skeg component, a bulb component, and a deducting bow thruster component. Components are pointers to shapes, and provide information on the side, effectiveness, and reference point. Shapes contains the basic coordinate geometry. A single shape may be referenced by several components. For example, a sump's shape may be used as a component of a wet hold, and also a deducting component from the tank underneath.

A typical display is shown on the next page, with three profile, plan & axonometric views in resizable panes. Each view pane may be zoomed independently. A drop list of model parts is presented in the upper left corner. Next to that is the components drop list, which contains the components of the currently displayed part. The Render menu allows visualization of 3-dimensional part surfaces. Other buttons control part, component, and shape editors, part & component selection, rotation (360 degrees both horizontally and vertically), section selection, and point selection.
