Recalculate

Home > Recalculate

Recalculate 3D-items. Select from the following functions:

Recalculating Construction Parts – Recalculate the selected construction parts.

All Construction Parts – Recalculate all the inner construction parts in the block, including templates. Optionally, also shell plates can be included in the recalculation. Only changed parts are recalculated by default.

Recalculating construction parts

In the graphical window, select the construction items that you want to recalculate.

  • Use options Select and Exclude to either include or exclude items from the selection when you indicate them in the graphical window.

  • All selects all the construction items in the drawing in one go.

  • Reverse deselects the currently selected construction items, and selects the currently unselected construction items.

  • Highlight highlights the currently selected items in the graphical window.

You can use the drop-down menu to limit your selection to a specific construction items. Only items of the selected type can be selected.

You can also select the construction items in Hull Viewer or by logistical selection.

  • For Hull Viewer selection, select Hull Viewer selection. Hull Viewer opens. See Hull Viewer selection.

  • For logistical selection, select Logistical selection. The Select parts for recalculating dialog opens. Select the selection criterion, and then in the next dialog define your selection. See Logistical selection.

Unchanged construction parts are not calculated by default. Select Update unchanged 3D models to recalculate also the unchanged construction parts. This might be necessary in situations where settings affecting the weight values of parts have been changed.

Note: The actual area is used in recalculation. Use caution in selecting parts which are partly outside the actual area, because the recalculation results may be affected. This may happen when calculating shell frames on a hull line that has more than one intersection with its borders, for example.

Click OK to perform the recalculation.

Recalculating all construction parts

Block area shows the current block's area limits. You can extend the area within which parts are recalculated by entering the extension values in Extension block area.

Available options:

  • Include shell plates – When selected, shell plates are included in the recalculation. Otherwise only the block's inner construction is recalculated. The inner construction includes templates.

  • Update also not geometrically changed 3D models – When selected, also the unchanged construction parts are recalculated.

    All construction parts need to be recalculated in situations where a new hull shape has been placed in the project, for example. This is because the plates that are related to the hull must be recalculated. Recalculation of all parts is necessary also when settings affecting the weight values of parts have been changed.

Click OK to perform the recalculation.
