Orca view

[thomas1984]

Hi,

I have some trouble with the Orca views. The planview is shown as a bottom view, I tried to solve this with the orientation properties but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Hi thomas1984,

I believe the behavior of the OrcaViewports command is to have the plan view looking from the bottom up (and the profile view looking from stbd to port and bodyplan from aft to fwd). If you would prefer that the plan view is looking from the top down, probably the easiest thing to do would be to write a Rhino macro where the first line runs the OrcaViewports command and the following lines change the plan view. Something like this:

-_OrcaViewports
-_SetActiveViewport PlanView
-_SetView CPlane Bottom

You might have to change an option (e.g. bottom to top) depending on your orientation. You can associate these with a toolbar button you create or accelerator keys.

Hi Larry,

That is exactly wat I thought, as the image implicates: profile is show from stbd to port, bodyplan from aft to fwd, only the planview is turned 180 degrees. I suppose my settings are incorrect?

My fault, Cplane settings..

Hi Thomas,

Which specific CPlane settings are you referring to?

Also, I may have misunderstood the issue you were having. Is it that the planview is looking up from the bottom of the hull or that the bow is pointing to the left (or something else)?
