You already have the station curves? And I imagine they're all sitting on the same layer, at their actual locations on the boat?
Try making a CutPlane, parallel to the station planes, through 0,0. Project your station curves to this plane and put each on a separate layer. Alternatively, mark a key point at each station and Move them all to the desired plane. If you're going to detail in Rhino you might want each on its own layer.

I have the stations in(from freeship), but if I were lofting a deck the old way I would take the deck, c/l height, subtract the sheer height, then that is crown H, then at 33.33%in a factor .8898, and 66%in, factor .5393, this gives me the heights at third and two third beam, do this at every beam, it makes one fair deck, if I was forming T sections or I ,s or angles, i would have to form each one from loft,
thanks men
