A collection of small, practical tools for naval architects, marine engineers and project cargo professionals. These utilities are available free of charge and are intended to solve specific tasks in everyday engineering work. Some tools are designed for FreeCAD; others can be used independently.
Import, inspect and edit ship frame geometry from DXF drawings or Gf files. The editor helps prepare and check transverse sections before saving them as GF files for use in supported hydrostatic applications.
Intended for workflows involving ship lines plans or frame drawings. GF data can be used with applications such as General Hydrostatic, Archimedes and StowMind.
Download GF Editor 3A small FreeCAD macro for applying colour to hull geometry, making ship models easier to read and their visual presentation clearer.
Run the macro from within FreeCAD. The macro is provided as-is; save a copy of your document before trying it on an important model.
Download Hull ColorA FreeCAD macro for creating a 3D Green Pin shackle representation for use in rigging and lifting arrangements.
The generated geometry is intended for model and layout purposes. Always use certified manufacturer data for actual equipment selection and engineering calculations.
