Freeship tutorials1/14/2024 Not a big deal in a small model, but disaster in a full size. When I applied the FAIR command to the chine and sheer lines, they left the vertical station lines by a noticeable margin. You could see the 'wonky bits' very easily. I took the frame files used for the CNC cutting, and loaded them into Rhino, and added chine lines. This conversion seemed to work OK, but some little niggles I found in the model build made me curious. The problem is, in Freeship you can specify how many stations ( and you need to use as many stations as will give the best detail in the design), but you cant selectively create station profiles for where you want to have a mould placed for building from. Then, to build a scale model, the strategy used to get the CNC frame lines, was to use the plan, side and front elevations from Freeship ( the LinesPlan ), read into Autocad, and then use 2d Autocad to project the frame profiles onto a 2d environment. The boat concept was first developed in Freeship, to take advantage of its statistical reports, to get the 'statics right. Long story - because that's what you want right ? This might help a few budding CADders.
