  Hello Everyone,
  
  I am wanting to model a boxy hull like a PDR sailboat or a Friendship canal boat in Delftship Free.
  
  Is there a way to take a DXF or other file from AutoCAD to start this process?
  
  Thanks!

  I am making some progress. I was able to configure a new project, import IGES as markers to scale and position, and select all. Would the next step be to define edges or faces?

  I am making some headway with faces but I get 2 of each layer when I look at the developed panels.
  
  Perhaps I should only be working on a half model?

  Drawing in the faces and splitting those that cross the boat with a vertical plane, seems to work nicely.
  
  The only issue I see right now is some ‘tension’ in the bottom where is does not develop smoothly as shown by the two lines at the keel in the line plan. I am sure this is due to some user error on my part.
