I figured out what I was doing wrong. I missed a handout we were given. We were given a parent form of a vessel. With that parent form (a lines drawing) I am to complete a table of offsets, using a ruler. Once that is done, I scale my parent form with my principal dimension and have rough...

Yes, we are required to use AutoCAD. I've been told to "use an existing lines plane similar to the ship your designing" but I'm not completely sure how to do that

I am asking, what are the general steps (ex. how to make your grid, determine your water lines, buttocks lines and hull form) to making your lines drawing of a ship given the principal dimensions

We have gone over the basic grid form to make for our vessel, but we were not taught how to use autoCAD, the program we're to use to complete the lines drawing, or how to form our buttocks, waterline and hull form in the lines drawing. We have some background, yes, but I feel as though I don't...

Im a sophomore in Naval Architecture and as part of an assignment, we are given these main dimension and we are to complete a lines drawing of a offshore supply vessel that satisfies those dimensions

How do I make my lines drawing given just the basic dimensions of the boats Length Beam Draft Depth Freeboard Foscl Displacement

There is a hydro check, its just after the lines drawing is completed. The goal of the class is take all the step to designing a boat, just very very slowly. We start with the design sheet to get or parameters, then the lines drawing and table of offsets, then in groups, we come together and...

messabout: The hull is in fact to have some roundness. We are to include buttocks lines, water lines and chine in the lines drawing. Our professor spoke to us about using splines and spline weights, we even did a tutorial in class, but we're to use autoCAD (2013, so it does have those...

So, is there no way to form the body plan, or at least a rough start of it from completing a table of off sets? We have not learned how to perform a hydrostatic check yet. We perform the hydrostatic analysis after completing and turning in our body plan and table of off sets.

How do I make lines drawing without a table of offsets? I was under the impression that I need to complete a table of offsets in order to even begin my lines drawing. The lines drawing is the ultimate goal of the project, with the profile plan, the half breadth plan and the body plan all shown...

I'm a sophomore in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. We were given a project about a month ago that involves designing a marine vessel (a boat) with a given set of parameters. The rest was up to the student. I used an excel spread sheet to record the length between perpendiculars...
