druxey Posted March 28, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2023 Typically these indicate a cross-section between the arrows. The arrows show from which direction the cross-section is viewed. mtaylor, trippwj and barkeater 3 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer: Start a new topic in the appropriate 'build logs' sub-forum: View from MSW home page: The title should be in the format of "Name of ship/boat - your user name - manufacturer - scale. Here's the link that may help. Link. Also add tags to help others searching for specific models that have been built or that's a work in process. Terms like the ship's name and maybe manufacturer. Think in terms you would use if you were looking for a particular ship or subject. Hope this helps. Welcome to MSW.

bricklayer Posted March 29, 2023 Share #10 Posted March 29, 2023 Hi woodshipguy, on the same or a seperate sheet you`ll find another drawing called "section B". Your drawing shows the x-z plane. "section B" shows a fraction of the x-y plane at a particular hight indicated by the horizontal lines next to the letter "B" The arrows indicate the side of the intersected object, that`s shown in the section drawing. I guess that you`ll see a taper beginning at the bearding line, the dashed-dotted one, ending at the stern post and keel. The taper compensates for the thickness of hull planking so the garbord and plank ends at stern hit the sternpost and keel flush, without recess. I´m familiar with drawings due to my profession. If I wasn`t, then they`d be a mystery to me, too. Michael mtaylor, robert952 and Woodshipguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricklayer Posted March 29, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 29, 2023 Sections, at least the ones I´ve seen, are always perpendicular or orthogonal to the plane that they intersect. But if the line B - B was angled, then the intersection would be an angled plane. mtaylor, robert952 and Woodshipguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
