The SwissFEL facility, presently under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute, will provide SASE and selfseeded FEL radiation at a hard (1-7 Å) and soft (7-70 Å) X-ray FEL beamlines. This paper presents the current status of the self-seeding design for SwissFEL. The layout and full 6D start-to-end simulation results are presented for the hard X-ray beamline. Studies for different charges and optimization of the first and second undulator stages are shown.
