SeaCAD 5.1 — Quick User Guide

Overview

SeaCAD 5.1 is a CAD package for marine design (assumed: hulls, interiors, systems). This guide covers installation, workspace, core workflows (hull modeling, hydrostatics, structural framing, surface fairing), file management, export formats, common troubleshooting, and keyboard shortcuts.

Pro Tip: To transfer a hull from Rhino to SeaCad 5.1, export as IGES (type 128) with a tolerance of 0.001 mm. Avoid STEP files – SeaCad’s STEP importer in 5.1 is buggy. seacad 5.1
