Breaking Stringers

If you have drawn a long stringer and then find you wish to break it into a number of smaller stringers, you can do so using the Break Stringer command from the Stringer menu.

 

To break a stringer or stringers

Ø        Select the stringer points at the locations where you wish to break the stringer

Ø        Choose Break Stringer from the Stringer menu

 

The stringers with selected points will be split at the selected locations.

 

In general you will want to break your stringers up into different zones along the hull. It is better to do this rather than trying to run stringers all the way from one end of the design to the other.
