    I don't know why this happens. I got the offset table from my school project. I put them together as seen in the picture. But when i try to open that in maxsurf (dxf) it breaks into two piece and some lines became straight. WHAT CAN I DO?? I can't seem to find solution. Any advice?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Could you upload the dwg file of your boat here?

    Use the Autocad "DXFOUT" command to create the dxf file. In MaxSurf use "Import>>DXF Curves". (See attached figure)
    Maxsurf doesn't need more than half the hull and it doesn't need the main deck either. Therefore, even if you only use half frames, you will be able to create a perfect model of the ship.

    Neither AutoCAD nor Maxsurf pose any problems for me. I am attaching the .msd file so you can work on it.
