Hi all

After a bit of clicking around I discovered the ‘unwanted’ stations can be turned on/off by clicking ‘Control net’.

Thank you Marven

I got rid of the background exactly as you described.

The unwanted stations seem to be an intrinsic part of the model. When I click ‘Stations – Toggle station visibility on/off’ I do get my ‘new’ stations – but they are shown alongside the existing unwanted stations. I haven’t found a way to turn these off.

Ultimately I will want to export stations so I could try that and see if the unwanted stations are exported alongside the new ones. Or do you have any idea what might be going on?

Thanks again for your help

Hi Hrvoje

I have finally managed to get back to this project…

I don’t have a full set of offsets. I just have offsets for the chines and sheer. The bottom of the hull is a flat plate so there is no ‘keel’ as such. All the plates are flat – no compound curves or conic sections as far as I can see.

Is there a way to model this?

Regards

Paul

Hi Hrvoje & Terry

I have another question if I may?

Given that I would like to export developed hull surfaces and perhaps frames/sections, should I model the vessel at full size and ‘scale down’ to 1/16 or should I model it at ‘model’ scale? The full size is 65′ between perpendiculars so say around 70′  (about 21m) or a bit more overall. The model therefore should be around 1.3m.

I was wondering if the calculations will still work on such a tiny hull? I would be interested in displacement so I don’t build too heavy and also stability and everything else out of interest.

I love this stuff – frustrated naval architect here… I could draw a set of yacht lines when I was in my early teens (back in the 1970’s), nowadays I run a Bavaria 38 sailing yacht as a business based in Southampton, UK. Hoping to expand to the Spanish coast next year, maybe Barcelona if all goes well.

 

Kind regards

Thank you gentlemen, you are very kind.

I will have to dedicate some time to learning this package properly. I was expecting it to be easier…

Have a great day

Kind regards

Paul
