Tutorial I
2.
A prompt at the command line asks you to specify the lower left
corner, type 0,0 in the command line and then press ENTER.
6. Another prompt for the upper right corner; here the maximum length
we have to deal with for ship lines is about 150 m. and the height of
the drawing is the sum of the ships depth and half breath plan in
addition to some empty spaces so we type in 200, 90 as our answer to
the command prompt.

Hints:
1. You can also display the Drawing limits Command by typing
limits in the command line
2. We simply chosen 90 as height because if we plot our drawing
using 1 drawing units = 10 mm this 90 would be equivalent to
90 cm the width of the paper roll and so the drawing scale
would be 1:100 to see the boundaries of your drawing space
draw a rectangle with lower left corner 0,0 and upper right
one 200,90
7. Finally in order to see your drawing limits, press the zoom all button
in the zoom fly out located in the standard toolbar, or simply you can
type zoom then all in the command line
3.
Start DRAWING:
1. Once you have set up your environment for drawing, you
can start by
i. Drawing the molded base line of the profile using the line
command and specifying the starting and ending points (lets
say 0, 50 & 200, 50
ii. Drawing the Center Line of the half breadth plan using the line
command and specifying the starting and ending points (lets
say 0, 20 & 200, 20
Hints:
a. As you sure noticed the two lines are drawn with the same line type
and color, to deal with this problems we have to learn about layers
2/10
As you see there is only one layer named O with white color and
continuous line type
By pressing the New button a new layer appears with its default
name highlighted waiting for you to change it, try to make the name
expressive; ship center for example.
By pressing enter AutoCAD accepts the new layers name and then
give you a chance to make another action (either adding anew layer
or changing a property of any other layer)

Before you exit the select line type dialog box be sure that the center
line type is Highlighted to assign it to the ship center layer
Now select the center line you have drawn latest and assign it to the
ship center layer by clicking on the O in the layers toolbar shown
above and selecting the required layer then press Esc twice to clear
your selection, notice the changes!
The type line has changed to center but its still has to be adjusted, to
do this select the required center line and then type properties in the
properties dialog box set the line type scale to 0.4 its adjusted now
so close the properties dialog box
iii.

Drawing the Center Line of the Body plan using the line
command and specifying the starting and ending points (lets
say 100, 45 & 100, 70 as we did before adjust the layer for this
new line as well as the line type scale I think 0.1 would be good
this time.

ACAD prompts for the end tangent for this curve and
since we havent got a specified one we can simply press
enter to finish the SPLINE command
6. Repeat Steps 4&5 for the rest of the stations with negative xvalues for the aft stations to be drawn to the left of the body
plan centerline and thus your body plan is completed.

Hint: have to find out the end points of each water line using the stern
and bow contours before drawing them.

12. Now work on the Body Plan to find out the offset value of
any desired buttock to be drawn in the profile the distance
command will be helpful in this case
13. Finally finish your drawing using leaders, text tools after
adjusting the drawing boundaries. Prepare for plotting by
adjusting the pen assignment for each color used in your
drawing.

Start Modeling:
In order to represent the Hull surface of a ship we shall use here the
3dmesh command theres so many techniques used in modeling but Ill
try here to discuss the simplest one.
Using the same SPLINE command start to plot the body plan curves
one by one as you did before with only one exception youll give your
coordinates in xyz coordinates.
Notice that for the same station
curve the x coordinates is the
same.
This net of curves is called wireframes; it gives us an idea of how does the hull look like. But in order
to have better effect, we have to deal with surfaces or 3d mesh
command.

To recognize the difference between
surfaces and wire frames type Shade in the command and see what happens the
mesh you have created are now acting like a plate sheet while the wire frames
didnt change. Press undo to cancel this shading
