Stability - Heel Angles input - layout ?

[Alan]

I was not able to find out the right way to enter heel angles. The manual is useless in this case as it is certainly function of the regional settings. An example generated in function of the user regional settings should be displayed in the Hydrostatics & Stability Analysis dialog window.

Alain,

Our intent is to be consistent with Rhino: the decimal separator is always a dot ".", and the list separator is always the comma ","

When entering a list of numbers such as heel angles, you can enter 0,5,10,15,20,25, or you can accomplish the same thing by using "...": 0,5,...,25

When using this format, Orca3D takes the spacing from the previous two numbers (0 and 5 in this example), and uses that spacing until it reached the next number (25).

  My fault. I had used my system list separator. I think that the input samples should be written just near the input box.

The problem is that once you have made a mistake in the input layout of the heel angles, next times you will get anyway the Orca Command Error, even if you have well introduced the angles (checking Print full output for heeled conditions). OK, if you close and open your file again, then it works ; but it will make the user angry!

I noticed that I was using the program with European settings to answer your first question, and it's something that we will fix. Thanks again for all of your comments and suggestions.
