The learning curve on Deflt Ship seems pretty steep.
It can do amazing things, but . . .
The tutorials presented on this forum help a lot, but it is still a very narrow application.
I use an inexpensive general purpose CAD program - Design CAD 3D.
And have used it for over 40 years now - since the DOS days.
Good stuff Maynard.
I do the fairing "by hand", same way it's done on the lofting room floor.
But accuracy can be much better than the old standard 1/8 inch.
An advantage is that the hull can be sliced up any way you want to make patterns for frames, stringers, diagonals, etc.
Just a standard drafting package with 3D modeling.

Making half-hulls.
Kinda backwards, working from a finished design to a half-hull.
In the old days this was the way hulls were designed.
Peg the layers (lifts) together and carve the hull.
Then take the hull back apart and trace the waterlines.
