Maxsurf Pro has the ability to perform parametric transformations of hull shapes using the Parametric Transformation command in the Data menu. A key quality of this function is that it maintains the fairness of the hull to a very high degree during the transformation process.
The Parametric Transformation command displays a dialog that is used to perform the transformation on the design's visible surfaces.
The parameters that can be specified are divided into two groups:
After doing a parametric transformation you will want to be able to do a Hull Shape Comparison. Also see the section on Parametric Transformation Restrictions on page 179.
