01 Lifting surfaces

Component

X positions use the input origin. Sweep/dihedral are root-to-tip averages; local panel bends are retained. Full chords include assigned control surfaces. The panel editor controls individual sections.

02 Fuselage

Initial skin uses the combined Z range of matching vertical body sheets as full height, centered at its midpoint. This is an editable assumption. Dimensions update the two body sheets; *nose/tail rounding changes only the skin. Wings and tails keep their own positions.

03 Panel editor

Add or edit individual panels. Assign them to a component to use the controls above. Imported models can have different panel counts.

04 Reference values

These normalization and moment-reference values are preserved until you edit them. Review them after changing geometry. Mach, alpha and rate settings remain as imported.

05 Display & layers

Surface display

Advanced display settings

Display assumptions only. Existing camber/upper/lower section cards keep their source shape; generic thickness applies only to thin flat panels.
