Rhino to Maxsurf Modeler

Hi Ocean man,

Two things come to mind here:

 - Did you import half the hull, or the full hull?

If you imported port and starboard sides, then the surfaces on the port side are actual surfaces, not just a mirrored drawing. You will need to delete the port side surfaces in Modeler or Rhino.

 - Are your surfaces set to have symmetry?

If the surfaces aren't set as symmetrical, then they will not be drawn mirrored when display of half hull is turned off. You will need to set the surface properties to be symmetrical, either in Surface Properties or in the Surfaces Window.

Regards,

James

thanks for your reply sir. I have imported it half and it was port side. and  yes, it would be symmetrical. 

We normally work with the Starboard side (above the CL in the plan view) in MAXSURF. So flip your surfaces across to the other suide using Surfaces | Flip.

Are the surfaces set with their symmetry turned on? Take a look in the Surfaces Window to check.
