Thats seems like a good guick way of doing it. What I did to get them was to go to the side window on the sections screen and enter every 1cm. until I hit my second form. Having done it I would enter every fifth cm. next time. Anyway I then made a table on a large piece of paper and plotted all the points, faired them with a batten and cut out the form.

Have you put the forms on a strongback yet? If so, how did that go.

: I did have one cross section that wouldn't print out the haul full size but
: would do so in a 1/5 verson. I lofted from that to get the correct shape.
: The bow and stern internal stems can not be printed in full size but show
: up in your side view. I took a close up picture of them using a digital
: camera and and blew them up on the computer and they came out OK. I did
: have to change the stern stem section some because it didn't fair very
: well. The program is fun to play with.
