Hiya - We've had some serious discussions in our family about taking a year or two off and doing the Great Loop cruise. I've been searching...
Ah, I see. So what's on the other side of the foam - the side we can't see? Anything? Or is the foam itself airtight enough that he just tapes the...
I think the "bagging stuff down to a concrete floor" routine is for laminating large panels that are then installed elsewhere, no? What I'm...
Okay, so reading that subject line out loud makes it sound kind of silly. But I'm serious as a heart attack. I've seen pictures and videos of guys...
That did it - thanks. I had no idea I could pick a single point as a cross-sectional curve.
nwaters - I'm not following you. When I used the sweep 2 rails command, none of the surfaces shown above were visible; only the curves (2 sheers...
Oh, I see - no, there are only two rails. I just double-checked, and the two sheer curves are a single, continuous curve from the sheer/stem point...
I'm not even sure how to check that. All three curves at the top there originate from the same, single point (where the sheers meet the stem)....
I am using Sweep 2 Rails to create a deck surface on the hull shown below. I am picking the two sheer curves as the rails, and then the deck...
That did it - thanks!
Thanks, but they're surfaces, not solids. There's a way to trim one surface using an intersecting surface but I can't seem to get it to work.
In the attached image, I am trying to trim the transom surface (the black surface on the left) to the six surface edges that intersect it (two...
Nah, I just type in the values. Takes a little figuring out -specifically, which values on the table of offsets correspond to which axes in Rhino...
I'm guessing number of surfaces has a lot to do with it. I don't remember exactly how many surfaces there were in the original file, but it was...
Actually, the guy I'm helping sent me a corrected table of offsets that had been faired using the full-size lofting. The lofting was done using...
Thanks, David. I actually ended up just using the table of offsets to re-create the hull surface in Rhino.
Howdy, folks - I've got a model in FreeShip that I'd like to get into Rhino; the FS version was sent by somebody I'm working on a project with,...
Found the answer. Way faster than hand tools, way quicker than 2 hours, and way cheaper than $70. Find a board thick enough that when turned on...
Well, I thought I was being really clever last weekend. I jury-rigged a fancy router jig to cut the 1-3/8" x 30" long gains on my lapstrake build....
I am planning to encapsulate the entire transom (solid mahogany) with epoxy. You say above that "...epoxy under the finish is necessary." I don't...
