Here you have a Swedish newbie. I have designed hull for smaller boats about a year. In my spare time. On Friday I will start to build the little easy built boat as i designed for prototyping my experiences from different programs. I am using freeship and convert to dxf files and then i continue my konstrukting within import them to Sketchup. I do also have acces to Autodesk. But actually i prefer sketching with Sketchup. When you see the pic about my latest design,you will say "oh gosh This one was ugly " But i can tell it can be done for about 100 EUR. Maybe it will hold together to test the design. And thats all i want at the moment.
