Yes, I thought about the cheap plywood, I hope to be able to validate the patterns electronically, but I suspect I will check one panel in cheap...
I tend to agree with you, but the way DELFT/FREE ship seems to vary depending on hull rotation is a worry. It's almost tempting to machine up a...
Maybe solved? So, I think i have an answer :) I tried emailing the DELFT developer, but got no answer after some days, so I began to look for a...
In FreeSHIP and its derivatives you do not draw the plates, you draw the hull, using control points, and then program develops the plates from the...
Yes, I have seen it. It is no improvement, is has exactly the same bug copied from FreeShip. The plates developed will never make the hull as...
Thats fair enough, and, programmers have to eat too! If I had made something like that, I would certainly want to make some money from it. If I...
Interesting ... I opened the .fbm file in DelftSHIP free, and it creates different and much more correct looking flat patterns, with the curves...
Well, theres been one or two made to this pattern over the years, all with 6mm plywood soles ... I think they are up to sail number 5400 now,...
hmmm OK, thats easy enough, I dont need the front piece so its just the skins im interested in. So ... I entered some rough values and worked up...
So .. the only remaining question is ... My design has a "pram" bow, like so: [IMG] any ideas how to create a chines file to represent...
Years of experience with AutoCAD and more recently, Solidworks for solidmodelling .. oh and for the day job I am a Linux admin/developer .. :)
I see ... I got the development to sort of work, it developed the first chine plate anyway, so I'll play with that. The chine points is more...
Ah, greyed out I can see I need to read the manual :) no doubt it will explain why the "develop surfaces" option is greyed out. The plate hull...
OK, I see how to make the hard chines Add creases to the chine lines .. yeah OK, that works. Now, how to get the developed flat patterns of...
Are you sure? Firstly, I cannot see how to limit the curvature of the surfaces in the XY plane to straight lines so they pass through the chine...
Hi, I have drawn up a dinghy hull for plywood construction in Solidworks, and I have offset tables to the class rules etc .. what I need to do...
