    Hi, everbody.
    We are building steel yachts in our boatyard and I am the engineer responsible of the design. I have a question about nesting the stringers by computer and transform these data to CNC cutters. I am using maxsurf software but I cannot use Workshop efficently for this job. I can also use Rhino and Autocad but I couldn't manage to nest the stringers on the boat's frames as I want. Is there any trick or a special way to this. If anybody solve my problem I will be glad.

    This and a lot of similar problems are really hard core loft issues. You should look at a hard core lofting program. I use "ShipConstructor" www.shipconstructor.com
