thanks for the explanation on those corners, i understand now, in freeship open the bow and close it like a stern
you can check devellopability as these ends best dont have to much twist. lewis knows after building six it was rite?
as for the million other parts of the design i ssumed you were refering to resistance, stabilty, velocity etc
construction and how the "corners" (or how do we call them?) can be any way you like i guess, good luck !

ps. a florida roofer once told me nailing X wise was more hurricane proof and expensive ;-)

"..those corners..:)"

As a kid I worked as a Roofer. On new construction, the "Sheets" are laid out on a big table somewhere for all the contractors to use in making sure they are doing their part correctly.
With a good Architect, almost every nail is located in those "Sheets"
That's what I meant by a 'Million other parts' to the design (sheets).
Just think how complex something with twin engines, several fuel tanks, creature comfort plumbing, wiring, etc would be.
I look at that like making a Lace blanket. Too much detail work for a hacker like me.

As a builder for 35 years I can tell you that it would be luck if the architect had the door in the right place .

sorry Apex ,looks like another hijack

But as mentioned above, as soon as we have managed to produce some sort of "buildable" shape, I would like to leave the further step to next step, tutorial to the better skilled part of our audience.

And thanks for the contribution! Exactly that way I had in mind when starting this thread, to supplement with others advice!

Regards
Richard

Nasty!

I simply don't subscribe to the way the thread is running. If you have a useful comment to make please join in ...if not...shoo fly!
I made my points! If you would take the time to re-read the whole thread and see...they were dismissed when it came down to brass tacks. I have since endured a number of distasteful PMs from the author of that thread and I have decided to try and rectify things with a serious thread aimed at what I thought the original one was going to do. So...again...I say...If you wish to contribute with something substantial and related to the thread...by all means have at it...otherwise take the nasty comments back to the other (what has become) mud slinging thread. Deselect all!

Ahhh ja.

All said already.

Enjoy your Sunday peers (and Vladimir, Frank, and Lewisboaty too of course)
 
Gentlemen: enough said about protocols - this is a GREAT thread!

Please, could somebody tell me how to use the "keel/rudder" function to put appendages on adeveloped hull?

I suspect that it is a "layer" function, but I'm still toddling when it comes to uses that...

Any help that the experts can provide will be geatly appreciated

S/F, Phil
 
I just wanted to make a sketch drawing of an add-on porch. I wanted to know how many 2X's etc I needed.
I downloaded about four of those 'easy to do' programs.
I wound up doing it with a pencil on a napkin at coffee one morning.
 
Solid Edge have their 2D cad drawing for free. Unfortunately there isn't an easy to do program that is worth using you can just use and get what you want. It should be doable though. Some of the PCB programs are going that way. It's almost logic to use them, so the learning curve is maybe an hour. Who knows, maybe one day someone other than a melancholy engineeer would write software that works easy.
