G'day Brian,

I'm with Kudzu on this... FreeShip works best for me. The only way I have found to use offsets to create a 3D model of the hull is to carefully build a scale model of the kayak, mount it off the work table & take some measurements of the chines at stations along the length, then input them as a text file into FreeShip for fairing.

Regards,

Phil.

: Look for FreeShip version 2.6 Last I looked it was still available on
: SourceForge. It's not become a commercial software DeftShip. But the free
: versions are still out there.

: Also you get the new improved free version from a Russian site.

: Just don't download anything but the FreeShip program. :)
