Hi everyone,
This is the official support and feedback topic for CompositeWorks for Rhino, developed by CAD Projects Australia.
CompositeWorks is a Rhino 8 plug-in for designing and documenting composite laminate structures. It helps users create moulded parts and coverage zones, define laminate stacks, calculate material quantities and weights, track centres of gravity, and generate project reports directly from their Rhino model.
Please use this topic for:
- Installation and workflow questions
- Bug reports
- Material-library questions
- Laminate and coverage-zone workflows
- Quantity survey and weight/CG reporting
- Drawing-sheet and report-placement questions
- Feature suggestions
- General feedback
When reporting a problem, please include:
- Your Rhino version
- Your CompositeWorks version
- Your Windows version
- The document unit system
- The type of geometry being used: surface, polysurface or mesh
- The steps that produced the issue
- Screenshots or a short screen recording, where possible
A simplified example .3dm file can be very helpful, but please remove any confidential or commercially sensitive project information before posting it publicly.
Please do not publish licence keys, payment information, customer details or confidential vessel data in this topic. Licensing, purchasing and private project enquiries should be emailed to info@cadprojects.com.au.
CompositeWorks assists with laminate design, quantities, weight and centre-of-gravity calculations, but its outputs do not constitute engineering certification, class approval or regulatory approval. Users remain responsible for checking project inputs, calculations and final engineering decisions.
I’m the developer and will monitor this topic for questions, bug reports and suggestions. CompositeWorks was created from practical marine design and drafting experience, so real-world feedback from naval architects, engineers, boatbuilders and composite fabricators is especially welcome.
