3D boat design

Hi

Im new to this site but ive been using this software for my designs for some time now, its by far the easiest to use with the best features ive seen from 3D boat modelling software.

Give it a shot let me know what you think?

www.3dboatdesign.com

Cheers...

Please see the original discussion on 3DBoatDesign with a note from the developer of FreeShip/Delftship:

I found this the easiest

I've been trying to design my boat with drawing software too - then I saw a post that recommended some cheap 3d design software. I bought a copy from this <mod note: link to boat-design-software .com removed as it appears this is a spamvertising post> site and I must say I've found it pretty easy to use. Takes about an evening to get the hang of it. It's not free ($49 if I remember right) but pretty much all the free software I've tried has been pretty much useless.

Sounds like you have been ripped off.
The software you have bought is a direct copy of FREE!ship, which is open source and totally free. see http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeship/

Man, I hate con-artists... to be clear to anyone reading this - Jane is actually John (if that is his name) and he is illegally selling (licensing) software, in this case, I believe, the very freeship we have been talking about...

in fact freeship is better than Delftship as you can develop plates and print them out

Mod note: I've split the post and those regarding the spamvertising of the "3d boat design" site into this older "3D boat design" thread.

Will also add the links to the source at the end here as well:
