Log In:
    The website is located at http://www.ice-ninefoamworks.com/designer/
    From the first page of the website click on "Inventory/Designer", this will bring up a login window.

    Then hit submit.

Blank Selection:
    You will start on the "Board Inventory" tab/page. You can see on the bottom left side the list of Ice 9
        Blank Families, along with the Clark Classics we have and Your Personal Shapes. The Ice 9 blanks
       and Clark Rockers that are currently not available are shaded.
    Ice 9 Blanks - Pick the Ice 9 board family and then choose the size you want. Once a size is selected,
       the blank image will appear on the screen.
    Clark Classics - Pick the Clark Classic you want to see. As the Clark Classic rockers are selected
       the Ice 9 blank(s) that fit closest to it are shown as turquoise tabs. Select the Ice 9 blank you want to
       view. The red or gray outline is the Ice 9 natural rocker. The yellow outline is the Clark rocker.
      The orange outline is the Ice 9 rocker adjusted to fit the Clark rocker the best possible.
    Your Personal Shapes - This folder will hold all of the custom rockers you have ordered or saved for
       potential orders. It will also hold any of your personal rockers that Ice 9 has scanned and loaded into
       our system.
    When you are in the Clark Classics or Your Personal Shapes section, select back to Ice Nine
       inventory to return.


Rocker Adjustment:
    Rocker adjustments can be made to any Ice 9 Blanks, Clark Classics or Your Personal Shapes.
    After the desired blank image is on the screen, click the tab called "Rocker Shape Line".
       This will bring up the controls to make rocker adjustments.
    The red outline for the blank represents the natural rocker. The orange line represents the rocker as
        your adjustments are made.
    To make adjustments you can start by choosing an "Increment", which will be the amount (in inches),
        each of your adjustments will move the bend point or rocker. Next you can adjust either the nose or
        tail. Pick "Set Tail


Bend Point" or "Set Nose Bend Point" .......then adjust to the desired position along the length of the
        blank by hitting the up or down arrows. You will see the small blue square below the blank profile
        move as you adjust the bend point position.
    After the bend point has been chosen you can change the "Increment" if desired. Next choose
        "Lift/Drop Nose" or "Lift/Drop Tail" depending on which bend point was set and adjust the height to
        the desired position using
        the up and down arrows. You will see the orange lines move as the adjustments are made.
    If you want to make more than one adjustment to either the nose or tail, hit the "go" button after the
        first adjustment is made to the nose and/or tail. Hitting that button will save all previous adjustments
        and set everything to make more adjustment. Continue to hit "go" every time you want to make
        another adjustment to the same area…either the nose or tail.


Miscellaneous:
    You can zoom in on different parts of the blank. Put the pointer at the area you want to zoom.
        Right click the mouse button and select zoom in. You can zoom in multiple times. You can use the
        pointer to move around to different parts of the blank by holding down the left mouse button and
        moving the mouse. Unfortunately you can't make rocker adjustments while in zoom. Select zoom out
        or show all to get back to normal view.
    The crosshairs in the bottom right-hand corner can be used to measure the distance between two
        points. Put the center of each crosshair on each point that you want the measurements from. The two
        white boxes in the bottom right corner show the horizontal and vertical measurement. You can
        change the measurement units between inches and feet by clicking the round purple button. You may
        want to zoom the target area when positioning the cross hairs.


Saving & Loading a Rocker File:
    After all of rocker adjustments have been made the file can be saved in your personal folder.
        Click the "Save" button located in the bottom right corner. This will bring up a window to type a file
        name. Type a name for your custom rocker and hit "Ok" to save. Use lowercase letters, numbers,
        & "_" (underscore) only. Other characters sometime corrupt the saved file.
    To load a previously saved custom rocker, click on the "Load" button located below the "Save" button.
        Select the file to load and hit okay.
    You can use the loaded file as a starting point and make further adjustments to that file and than save
        it as a new file.
