Brian100 Posted August 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2021 I want to draft some plans for HMS Victory using Turbocad 18 Delux,on the body plan I have some of the station lines merge where they leave the keel and also at full breadth. How many station lines do I need to use to be able to draft plans. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted August 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2021 The main factor is the degree of accuracy in shape.

Nautical 1 Posted August 21, 2021 Share #3 Posted August 21, 2021 On the HMS Victory there should be many station lines but as has been mentioned more is better to obtain a degree of accuracy. The lines that merge at the keel is an imperative in that these station lines can follow the same exact path as the previous station line. This is not unusual. I realize I am new here but in reading the lines drawings for my own designs, I have noticed the same fact. It is okay if the Body section lines do this. Half - breadths or (or Full - breadths), are positioned as straight lines from C/L to all the waterlines and Sheer line values. Sound as if you are doing well, but as mentioned prior more in this case can be better to obtain a greater degree of accuracy. I hope this helps. Thank you for allowing me this privilege. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
