Re:Rounding a transom

[otaku]

Hi Creemers,

At first glance, it seems to me that your transom’s upper edges need to be moved forward or the the transom bottom needs to end at the same X coordinate so the transom plat is flatter or flat.

Also, do you have a separate, actual transom drawn in or is it open? (You mentioned surfaces, so my question may be unnecessary…and, since i can see the red line/edge, you probably do have the separate transom). I ask because before i drew an actual transom, my model’s resistance was less.

I’m attaching some images of my own issues with my transom having a sharp bend/chine(?) at the corners at the bottom and converge such that there is concavity in the region. I struggled to manually clean that region up and reduce the resistance some.
