Ship LoadExample

Description
This tool loads example geometries.

Ship works over Ship entities, that must be created on top of provided geometry. Geometry must be a solid, or set of solids, following criteria must be taken into account:
 * All hull geometry must be provided (including symmetric bodies).
 * Starboard geometry must be included at negatives y domain.
 * Origin (0,0,0) point is the Midship section (Midpoint between after and forward perpendicular) and base line intersection.



Usage
In order to help new users, Ship includes a geometries examples loader, with the following to choose from:
 * Series 60 from Iowa University
 * Wigley Canonical Ship
 * Series 60 Catamaran

You can load one of those examples following the next steps:
 * 1) Invoke the Ship Geometries Example Loader by either
 * 2) * pressing on the [[Image:Ship_Load.svg|24px]] icon in the toolbar
 * 3) * select the from the drop down menu
 * 4) A task dialog will display, prompting to choose one of the example ship geometries.
 * 5) Select the example you want to load and press
 * 6) Result: The tool loads a new document with the selected geometry.
