Kris, you are becoming more and more CAD professional.   🙂 

 

I'll give you ways to project lines onto surfaces in a moment.

Question: Is there a good (free?) automated tool for importing ship plan drawings from any raster format into any vector format which can be imported into Rhino?

 

In the simple, soldierly words: forget it, it is all waste of time...

That is what I thought.

 

I found the equivalent of Max's FFD boxes. It's called Cage and CageEdit. It takes a little getting used to but gets it into the right ballpark and I can improvise from there, though it's never going to be exactly accurate.

project.pngProject

Project curves/points toward a construction plane to intersect a surface.

 

pull.pngPull

Pull curves/points in the surface normal direction to intersect a surface.

 

intersect.pngIntersect

Create point objects or curves at the intersections of curves and surfaces.

 

From the above, choose the most appropriate way for your actual need. In the last case you will only have to make surfaces from your beautiful curves beforehand, too easy to explain this.
