Why Templates Matter
Many shipbuilding projects share similarities, such as hull types, sections, bulkheads, or recurring details. Without templates, teams repeatedly define the same rules, increasing the risk of inconsistency and errors. Templates turn experience into repeatable logic.
Standardize production
Start from an approved baseline for settings and export rules.
Reduce variation
Keep naming, structure, and formats predictable across teams and projects.
Faster setup for repeat work
Spin up repeat sections quickly with preconfigured settings.
Maintain quality
Reduce rework by keeping deliverables aligned as models change.
What Templates Do
Templates bundle your settings and deliverable rules into a reusable blueprint, so new projects start configured and outputs stay consistent.
Reuse Build Logic
- Store DXF, cutting, and model settings
- Reapply proven rules to new projects or models
Standardize Outputs
- Ensure consistent structure, naming, and formatting
- Reduce variation across projects and teams
Speed Up Setup
- Apply settings instantly instead of redefining them
- Shorten preparation time for similar builds
Maintain Control
- Templates work within Projects and Revisions
- Adjust when needed without breaking consistency
How It Works
Create a template from your preferred settings, then apply it to similar work to get the same deliverables without reconfiguring.
- Step 01
Define Settings Once
Configure model and project settings during Build Preparation or project setup.
- Step 02
Save as a Template
Store cutting, forming, and output logic as a reusable template.
- Step 03
Apply to New Projects
Use the template when starting similar builds or sections.
Stay Consistent
Every output follows the same rules automatically.
Who Templates Are For
Templates are for teams that run repeat work and need dependable deliverables. Lock in standards once, then adapt safely when a build calls for exceptions.
