Shipbuilding and Extracting Points


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

 

I'm a Naval Architect and I've build a ship in Rhino3D, and I'm looking to do seakeeping calculations. I'm using Autocad 2010.

 

I currently have exported the hull-lines for each station from Rhino into Autocad. I need an offsets file- a text file with points of each station's hull-line.

 

I've figured out how to export points from Autocad into Excel, but I can't find an easy way to extract points from the hull-lines (other than doing it manually).

 

If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Lisa

I'm a little confused. You can extract points, but not the hull line points? What's the difference?

 

What kind of points are they? Just a block with an X and attributes or special AutoCAD points like we use in Land Desktop, a point object?
