Join two hulls together

[MACDONALD]

Hye,
My name is Andrew and a friend told me to try using this software to
try creating a boat plan. :woohoo:
I am trying to creat a catamaran boat, so I drawed a hull for the side beams, and used a
model proposed by the Selftship.
There for I would like to know how to joined both of them. :blink:

Thanck to all that will reply.

Hi, I can suggest a procedure, it’s not complicate but as a beginner do not give up! Try to follow…
First draw your hull as per normal – control grid left to the centerline.
Now move it at a convenient distance – left side of course – use “move” command in TOOLS.
Then MIRROR, care of plane placement and you have a complete hull at the right offset.
Still in TOOLS draw a rectangular body representing the joining struct.
The not so easy part: delete faces at centre and the one facing your hull: here create a gap in the late and fill it using “add” function.
With a bit of patience and some inevitable strong language here’s a basic cat, the refinements are up to you, after all that work I’m sure you’ll find easy!
Bye, Jurgen.
P.S. : I omitted a lot of small steps for sake of concision, in need ask.

Just in case…

A quick draw using basic DS model, scaled trasversally, mirrored, joined by a box – modified –
A sketch works better to understand.
Bye, Jurgen.

Salut André!

I posted the whole ewplanation a few of years ago: http://delftship.net/delftship/index.php/forum/hull-modeling/2746-cat-s-and-tri-s

I’m guessing you’re a french speaker, so… n’hésite pas à me demander plus de détails! Mais je te préviens, j’utilise une vieille version de FreeShip. Certaines choses ont pu changer entre temps…
