Description
MultiSurf is a rich and versatile system for parametric design of 3D geometric objects, particularly complex objects involving freeform curves and surfaces.
Precise control of complex shapes:
- Accurate, durable joins between surfaces
- Parametric variation: MultiSurf updates the entire model when you change underlying objects
- A surface for every purpose: 21 surface types let you use the right surface for every aspect of your design (NOT limited to NURBS like other applications)
- Fairing tools: curvature profile and surface curvatures displays help you refine your design
Export: DXF, IGES, POV-Ray rendering files, VRML; to AeroHydro programs: MSDEV developable plate expansion, MSPLEX compound-curved plate expansion, HYDRO hydrostatics, OFE offset file editor, AHVPP sailboat performance analysis
Import: DXF, IGES; Rhino; FL/2B, Autoship, MaxSurf (formerly MacSurf), and FastYacht files.

Viewing and editing:
- Multiple wireframe and rendering windows of one or more models; any viewpoint. Dynamic viewing.
- Drag and drop points; use snap increments, grid. Dynamic update during dragging lets you see in real time the effect on the model of moving a point
- Use filters, layers, and show/hide to aid viewing and selection
- Display original curve or surface for comparison
- Scale, shift, rotate model (or parts of it) in any direction
- Unlimited levels of undo/redo
Documentation: comprehensive, illustrated reference and tutorials, in program help system and pdf format.
Includes a perpetual single workstation license.
