Well, the designer should have been sued, because it is his/her
responsibility to ensure the measurements and lofting, etc. will mate
together to a specified tolerance in the real world.

If not, all that steel is just an abstract sculpture. CAD can and has
done this sort of thing for decades now...there is no excuse and the
yard has a strong case for putting the designer out of business,
unless a third party fabricated the steel improperly, perhaps.
