Modeling in delftship from body plan only

[photoivek]

i am trying to make these models myself but i am strugling...
is thare any way to change default hull shape that delft ship creates when i choos number of points (longitudinal and verical) and dimensions?!
it always looks lika a yacht or smth. similar and there is a lot of work to be done to transform it to a barge for example...

i'm still having trouble modeling this barge....

i wanted to ask you HJS how did you model it?!
i counted 6 points in vertical direction at some places and 4 in other.
did you start with 4 and added more points where it was necesary?!
i started with 6 and it is a mess and then i started to look at your model more carefuly and saw the 4 points and 6 points at different places...

i would say i almost got it...
i am attaching the file that i made and i would like to hear your oppinion.
also i would appriciate if someone would explain to me why does the lowes waterline has that silly shape?! i thing i got intersections ok but that waterline is really silly (it's marked red in the bmp file also attached)...
how did that happen if i did sections ok (well almost)?!

well almost!
that's it
the flat parts are not flat in your design
look carefully at my version
you will see that some control lines are sharp, red
and you have to put your control points exactly in the right position

and check up the position of the intersections

check my version again

good luck
