    How are you doing the work?
    -lofted sections/stations
    -projecting curves from multiple views
    -solids and Boolean operations
    -import from hull design software

    Hello Tops, Thanks for responding to my post. the hull form is not terrible complicated its mostly developable surfaces. I drew the transom shape and moved towards the Bow with mid ship Stations or mold frames; the issue I seem to be experiencing is tying it together at the bow. I use F360 for mostly 2d shapes so this is new to me. I looked for some YouTube instructions but have not seen what will help me

    Thanks for your time

    My kid used F360 for this video, but he started learning SolidWorks first.
