The process of developing a new hull form can be costly and time consuming. The qualities of a hull form developed without reference to a previous design are unknown. Designs with no heritage often require extensive analysis to verify their performance. The preferred alternative to this approach is to take an existing design and modify it to suit the new requirements of the project. The performance characteristics of a derived design should be similar to the original as long as the changes between the two hull forms remain marginal. This paper presents an approach to hull surface transformation based on identifying features in the form topology. The technique allows changes using both interactive mouse manipulation and numerical parameters. A rich transformation tool kit is created which allows the user to confidently make rapid hull changes in conjunction with existing surface definition techniques.
