ParticipantHi All. Newbie here.
I want to start at a blank page and add points and draw the needed hull lines. How is that done in this app?
So far I cannot find the correct button.
Any guidance is appreciated. I have read the manual and steps for adding control points not doing it.

KeymasterHi Joe,
To be honest, I had the same question when I started out using DELFTship. Then I realised we actually never, ever start from scratch. Normally we start out with one of the given templates (options depend on Free or Professional version) . That way you are invited to start by entering the main design dimensions, a good thing..

ParticipantHi Joe
What I am doing/have done is making first a basic one chine design in a CAD program and importing the xyz to Delft Ship.
Second stage I am checking the model for leek points and stress on the panels.
Then I am adding chines and going to make round shapes if necessary.
Ones I have a model that I am happy with it I am generating and analyzing the reports. If everything as I want and I want a bigger or smaller boat just scaling it. You can scale up/down in xyz, or just one or 2 dimentions.
Hope it helps
Best wishes
Iosif
