Bob Legge got a reaction from mtaylor in Framing British Ships circa 1706
In "The Bends of a Ship" by Thomas Fagge Circa 1700, the bends (frames) are assembled with chocks and scarphs. The scarphs being on all the top timbers, the fashion piece Bend 31, and on one of the stern half floors, Bend 28.
All the others are chocks.
Bends illustrated are Flatt, L, O, R, 1, 4. 16, 28, 31, and a half frame of a central bend used to illustrate repairs.

Bob Legge got a reaction from mtaylor in TurboCad or graphics display help
I suggest you have a look at some Turbocad tutorials on youtube. These will give you the basics of using CAD and the reasons for doing so.
The link below is for a later version, don't upgrade, your version is more then adequate. The screen will be different though. It may be harder or easier to find what he is talking about.
TurboCAD Class 1 Orientation - YouTubeThese give a very good start to learning the CAD program. You can then make a decision on whether to progress further.
CAD software has developed over the years. The help is very good, and there are low cost tutorials available.

Two possibilities of substitution of decoration are offered: the 1782 CENTAURE and the 1785 SUPERBE.
Ancre now produce the above for the 4 volume book Le Vaisseau de 74 Canons - it is available in English, French and Italian in 1/72 and 1/48 scale.
Hubert Berti who produced the Ancre books has died and the Publisher is now run by his son, D Berti. We are greatly indebted to both Jean Boudriot who has also died, and Hebert Berti for the production of these books. The collection is of great historical importance. Many of the books in the collection were written by them.

Bob Legge got a reaction from cog in CAD software
Another CAD program is Siemen's Solid Edge ST8. The 2D version is free. I have used it by tracing a scanned ship drawing.
No problems.
