The offsets given for the cockpit area on the errata page are good. If keep the data for edge of the cockpit you will get a funny littly jog as shown below, so you should leave that point out. You may also see a low spot in one of the forms. Remember that you will be removing any region of the deck beyond the edge of the recess to the cockit. The goal of the additional points inside the cockpit area is to make the deck up to the edge fair. The extra points should accomplish that goal.
