Generating plywood panels from hull sections
But Brian please understand, that offcaurse the exact software you ask
; realy would you think it wasn't the idea to share both designs and old for me old fasion applications , boatsbuilding was over with my Cyber-Boat experience ,and as it seem ,and even I now mean that silli unfolding are not the issue ,then offcaurse the software _and_ the designs I build just to document the method ,shuld realy both be public avaible. ---- My sad exchouse why I lost the reson to do it ,and acturly found it irelevant to build further on a dead end building method ; now I just say that nomatter how exact you cut thin metal sheet then without something to place the panels on or lock together , realy unfolding are quite trivial the real issue is what to put the unfolded panels on to , -- if you have the framework you could even do the lofting the old boatsbuilder way on site on a framework that's nothing. Guess why I sort of lost the drive even I maneaged to upload all the most important Cyber-Boat drawings into the Yahoo groups, realy it was the idea to also publish the applications and, even they are old and dusty, they seem to do exactly what still is expected , but give me just one reson why even bother . I think I once placed all the software on a floppy --- you load a new AutoCAD menu where the various design tools are listed with a screen menu. But realy ; why even bother ; if so I shuld publish the Lisp applications ,the code that make up each application , well why not. You see the method are difficult and unless there are a planned structure ,it is a mess nomatter how accurate the sheets are cut, so I guess I don't "lose" anything, publishing software that was relevant for me as boatsbuilder 20 years ago ) |

Generating plywood panels from hull sections
I have a set of 20 hull sections that I would like to input into a design program, then generate panels for S&G construction. Any suggestions for software that will allow me to do that? You can do it using Hullform 8 or 9, plate enanced version. You can start creating one hull with the correct section and chine numbers, afther that you can edit the section (edit sections, then text edit) entering the new numbers... You can also use free!ship http://www.freeship.org/ that can make the same thing in a similar way. I speak about free software because I am a non professional, then I use only free or demo software... Paolo |

I downloaded it and found a similar design that I may be able to modify, rather than starting from scratch. We'll see. |

As it turns out, FREE!ships is exactly what I was looking for and will do everything I need. Thanks again, Paolo. |
