These seven studies show how one evidence-backed vessel can be explored at different levels, from the complete sailing ship to a bounded structural bay. Each view highlights what Forge can already reconstruct and where a design or data partner can help us go further.
One vessel, seven research views
The complete Balclutha research vessel is easier to question when its evidence can be viewed at different levels. These seven studies keep the same governed identity register while changing only the presentation.Complete vessel
Assembly and exact recomposition.
Hull envelope
Exterior form hypothesis.
Survey and reference skeleton
Sectional organization and reference lines.
Internal structural system
Governed cutaway and isolation.
Frames 60 to 62
Bounded decomposable assembly.
Above-deck and outfitting
System-level research view.
Rigging system
Hierarchical decomposition and explosion.
A shared path from research to design
The studies are interactive research views built for exploration, comparison, and correction. Their display-ready data keeps the experience fast and accessible, while deeper source material and engineering transitions remain governed. With additional drawings, surveys, and accountable review, each study can become a stronger input to design and restoration decisions.Open the interactive studies
