I’m brand new to DELFTship, but have had many years as a working Naval Architect.
Here is something of a belated answer.
You can take a General Arrangement and design your own hull shape to fit the GA. This is often how real working designs develop. I suggest you take some inspirations from the sample designs within DELFTship. What you do depends on what you need. For instance, generating a model that “looks right” is far less demanding than generating a workable design that meets loads, displacements, stability, and is reasonably good for resistance, seakeeping, etc.
If you are still around and following the forum, be encouraged to try things that meet your scope of requirements.
