I came across these excellent plans for the Steamer Schooner Wapama which have been corrected by a shipyard who had redone them with possibly restoring the ship. unfortunatley it was too far gone. all the offsets fit almost perfectly with the line drawings however there are 3 dimensions I cannot figure out. I am giving a link to all I have on the ship along with my excel sheet for the offsets and my curve files here is my problem I got all the curves tested in solidworks and they indead have been fixed up however I am missing the info for a couple dimensions to enter into the curves for the stations to complete them. I am missing the Half-Siding, the Deck Sheer and the Plank Sheer Dimensions to finish the curve files off properly http://www.proflooney.net/Steamer-Schooner-Wapama.zip it is The Steamer Schooner WAPAMA Circa 1915 above is zip file of everything I have its the drawings, an excell file I made of the offsets, and all the curve files I made for importing into Solidworks (unlike some other cad programs I have to make each curve file as a separate file these are some really really nice plans and I want do do a good job on it as its one of the few sets of drawings where i can actually understand them as a newbie to ship modelling. I just am having some problems at the moment figuring out what those 3 missing dimensions come from so I can enter them in the proper space in my tables one dimension is called a half-siding, the other 2 are the deck sheer and the plank sheer. if i can figure out where to get those 3 dimensions from ill be all set to go and start lofting up the hull. So if any of you offset gurus can be of help I would really appreciate it   [ Edited Mon Jan 02 2017, 07:03am ] | ||

I didnt cut the sheet I just used the wole sheet but the drawings are different scales thus the different szes. for profile view: Length: 3167.24720294in Height: 2446.57474368in For the Stations: Length: 2111.33276274in Height: 1630.92208528in using those dimensions when you do the curve files in cad program with the offsets I have in the excel file they match up perfectly | ||

| Registered Member #4876 Joined: Fri Dec 23 2016, 03:37amPosts: 1442 | Ok I got the bottom of the curve files fixed. I found the correct dimension for the lower portion but it was 10" and it should have been 9" all the way from station 1 1/2 to 9 so far and looking at the profile 9 1/2 will be the same. Station 1/2 will be at 12" and station 1 will be at 1- 1/2 inches once i can figure out what the heck to do abt the tops and the last 2 stations once they are all finished I will edit the offset table to correct it to match properly so that we have a proper table. like i said any help would be appreciated.
