Tony,
I just downloaded a copy of FreeCAD two days ago. I bought a CNC Router about a year and a half ago with a cut area of 17” x 17”. I was hoping to use the router when I retire.... Well currently only made a sign for my dentist, a sign for our subdivision with Twin Oaks (30,000 lines of code) and a rough draft of engraved shrimp boat. The sign for the Subdivision was a bit small and had to make it in three parts. I was thinking of making a toy sailing skiff with a mast and sail. I tried to use the Ship workbench provided by FreeCAD. I have not been able to merge Ship with other views. My laptop may be too old. I was going to use just a plain flat view of the top view which would become the deck of the skiff. I would then add seats and a place to hold the mast. The hull top shape would be the same as the deck. I was thinking, the deck would fit into the hull. The skiff would only be 8 or 10 inches long. Can I get a FreeCAD file of the top shape (flat view only) of a plain flat deck or tell me someone who could help me?-
Hi Sam,
I did not have much luck with the Ship workbench.
Based on what you are describing I would create a horizontal rectangle to be larger than the hull and then extrude the rectangle to form the solid deck. Then make a boolean intersection operation with the hull so that the deck edge is aligned with the hull external shape.
