How to set up frame of reference correctly?
To set the Frame of Reference:
1. Click the Find Base button. This will find the lowest point of your surface model.
2. Enter the DWL height relative to the current zero point:
For example: when your baseline is at -0.85 m and your draft is 0.5 m then you should enter -0.35 m.
3. Press the Set to DWL button to set the Fwd perpendicular to the DWL.
4. Press the Set to DWL button to set the Aft perpendicular to the DWL.
Alternatively, you can manually update the Aft perpendicular to eg the rudder stock location if needed.
5. Click OK Please note that your Frame of Reference position values are dependent on the location of the zero point and changes when Setting the Zero Point will affect the Frame of Reference.
