transome development

[Eric Baxter]

I am designing a hard chined speedboat with a curved (transversely) transome and have two questions: 1) How do I get the transome to develop as one (port and starboard) continuous piece or how do I accurately put the two sides together for dxf export to my cnc software machine toolpathing program? 2) all the developments looked good (number of iterations, edge stretch) except visibly on zooming in the aft edge of the bottom panels were ragged (not a smooth curve edge). The corresponding edges of the port and starboard transome halves were smooth however. What did I do wrong? or is this just a graphics problem where the actual curve exported in dxf code will be smooth?? I am trying to attach the fbm file herewith; hope it comes through. Eric

2. To add new edge to this point, maybe?
