Hi Ralph!
You can find the explanations for new layer creation in the topic “Those-damn-chines“ initiated by Lomic.
Don’t forget: before setting a layer non symetrical, you have to disable its “hydrostatics” checkbox.
Once you drew the “half” of the non symetrical ship part, order the symetry operation (Tools tab_TransformMirror, that is the two triangles). Then select the layer(s) you whish to copy symetrically and the symetry plane (generally: vertical). Only a whole layer can be symetrically drawn, not a part of a layer. Do not disable the “Connect to existing points” checkbox, this will automatically keep the layer’s new half knited to the other side’s points.
Note: non symetrical hulls can be drawn, but the hydrostatics calculations can give strange results.
