    I've downloaded freeship. I am not a boat designer but have a riverboat under construction. Another post under desigh forum titled "building riverboat". My question is this. When you put in a new design it always just assumes you want a rounded hull. I'm just dealing with a basic barge with flat bottom and would like to no if anyone has a hull layout similar that would be easier for me to download and make modifications instead of trying to drag all the points around and still have curves where they are not needed. the current barge is 90' by 30' with angles fore and aft and sits about 7'5" into the water.

    Thanks,
    Izzy

    creasing edges does the trick you want
    a flat barge can be downloaded from the design datebase on www.freeship.org
