I took the planes and did intersect curve to them from my loft and the front 90% of the ship turned out beautiful. I still need to figure out the transom area but will take a break for now while I make all my 3D stations. it is always nice to take a break when something is driving you nuts. who knows maybe someone else with tons more experience, while playing with cad will have it figured out while I work on the other stuff  | ||

You mentioned that PPDDRY used a "thicken" command to obtain the inner frames when modelling his HMS Pandora. But I don't think that it is possible that way because of the tapering. | ||

I do have an idea to try and that is duplicating the outside and setting the lower end at the proper 20" then for the taper rotate the outline and see how it works out | ||

I also last weekend did some more on the frames for the Wapama but finding small errors so I will redo the drawings and fare them up properly. Right now I am working on a First Rate Light Vessel Figured since home and on good connection I fired up my cad stream join me again the link is https://join.me/659-297-543 I am starting again on trying to do some faring up and am drawing buttock lines and faring them up now [ Edited Sun Jul 09 2017, 04:16pm ] | ||

Also there are 2 extra stations on the body plan that I was miscounting etc so now I will start over a third time see if it fixes these problems | ||
