    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.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
