Sorry haven't seen any of those, but considering your requirements in STEEL it will be very very difficult for such a small vessel (without...
Hi all, I somewhere read that one should try not to cross seams and longitudinals. But I find it extremely difficult to create a set of...
Hi All, I am curious about how I can determine where to place the seams in a hull. If I remember correctly I should use lines that are sort of...
Hi Wayne, Nothing about a particular design, just some things that I would want for sure when going to those locations (not my cup of tea as I...
Hi all, As we all are asking questions about the GL rules at the moment, I have one too. Well actually 2. The first can simply be answered with...
Thanks for all the replies, it made a lot clear to me. Even tho I didn't ask the question in the first place.

Hi Guillermo, Thanks for you reply. Now I am still confused which class rules I could use best for a home designed to be built ship. The GL...
Hi all, Just wondering, are these the same organisations but with different locations, or are they not related at all. And in the case they are...
Eric, You are right, I now started the number crunching using the Germanischer Lloyd class rules, and it sure is a lot of number crunching. But...
Building order Hi Lazeyjack, I was just looking at your picture and found the building order kinda strange, I would think one would start at...
Hi Eric, Thanks for your reply. I think you are right about boat building supposed to be easy, I totally agree, and this is also why I want the...
Setting the depth in maxsurf Hiya Anth, You can set the depth through menu option Data -> Frame of reference. Hope this helps.
