Modeling Developable Hull Shapes in Rhino3d



Developable hull shapes play an important role in the marine industry. Therefore modeling these types of shapes fast and accurate in Rhino3d is very important. Furthermore is it important to unroll the surfaces accurate and easy for manufacturing purposes.
At last the free plug-in called 'Developable Surface Construction'  is explained in order to have more control of the ruling lines which define the twist of single curved surfaces.
Tutorial 1: Several modeling techniques explained.




Tutorial 2: Unrolling and flattening of surfaces explained as well as the free plug-in Developable Surface Construction.
