So you need to edit your original drawing to create your 3D image. the cause sometimes is in tiny breaks in the drawing  this will not push/pull because the lines at the keel notch have a leak they don't connect, same with the top timber the line does not join  on this one the line joining the top is missing and down where the keelson sits the line is offset and does not connect. all in all this is a tedious job to build a 3D model but the more you play the better you get and the better you get the more fun it becomes. | ||
