maxsurf questions

I have tried a few programs trying to find one I could work with and the maxsurf seems to be the easiest for me the hull shell was modeled in a very short time but of course I keep tweeting until I got it like I had pictured in my mind witch took a bit longer

Some one else may have had this issue before I just haven't found thread when I searched an read them looking for these two particular issues so I thought I would just ask. yes I have read the manual and watched the videos who knows how many times actual both problems are on the same video ...lol

Questions:

1) The video tutorials clearly show the longitudinal & transverse lines can be found under the drop down then surfaces except my maxsurf library does not have (has others) either of those two surface line SO is there some where to download a larger surface library (as mine is very basic) OR is there a way to create a separate traverse line?

2) next question is shown in same video and they use a bow thruster example for trimming. I can size and put my tube in for a bow thruster, I can trim the pipe that sticks out past the hulls skin BUT I can't trim the throw hole for the tube in the hull what am I doing wrong?

 

Goldhunter 2 the trim command sometimes only works in a certain views; to trim the tube with the hull I would use the top view. To trim the hull with the tube I would use the profile view, once the hull is highlighted select inside the circle of the tube to trim.
As for the longitudinal and transverse lines I only have an older version (12’s), which only had ready-made surfaces as a base for a new design, which were adjusted to suit.

 

ok thank you, maybe I was in the wrong window I'll play with it some more today and see if that was my problem .
