Importing rhino hull to solidworks?

Dreamer,
Thanks for the file. I think what I did differently was that I imported the whole thing, offset zero, deleted the chine, lofted the chine new. That didn't work to well. How did you import just the bottom, and just the topsides separately when the original file is all one surface? Rhino won't let me explode or split because it is one surface?

Thanks again.

I don't have Rhino in front of me right now, but under the surface editing you can tell Rhino to split on a 'seam' or something like that. Select the surface and it will split it on the chine. You'll need to do another split to split the other edge of the chine. Then I just deleted the chine. That will give you two separate surfaces. I'll see if I can put together a couple of screen shots showing you how I did it.

Dreamer,
I think I figured out what tool you used in Rhino from your explanation. Thanks. I have attached my part because I mocked your method (not exact surfaces, but processes), but am still unable to shell. I have no idea why. Can you help?

It also won't let me put a fillet on the keel line. Any ideas on how one would fix that?
