: here's an example of a the slightly revised built playak 'facetious' (shown
: at the start of this minor thread) where i am working on some deck panels
: and everthing else is turned off as otherwise it would just be way too
: confusing. with these panels, you can see that control point alignment
: does not make sense - esp with respect to hull panel point alignment. at
: this point, this dwg in freeship is just for fun and i cannot say if the
: output would be good enough for these kind of shapes.: anyway, in all that, i like to sketch in pencil first. pencil is cool in that
: you can sketch lightly if you are not sure and harder where/when you are
: and you can lightly go over areas again and again to work something better
: - almost like clay instead there is a faint record of your earlier
: thinking.: and really when you get down to it, whatever medium you choose whether
: building , pencil or software, it just takes the time you wish to put into
: it. When i first started drawing in in one program, i redrew ONE reference
: curve over and over for 3 weeks of frustrated but intense evenings until i
: understood and got the feel of how it would do what i wanted it to. It
: sometimes is just hard long work.: mick
Great tips, Mick. Very helpful. A couple of questions:1. How do you export to markers? (I've always wanted this feature and thought of requesting it.)
2. Do you have a scan of a pencil sketch that you can post? If not, I'm curious about how you do it? In 3D?
3. On "facetious" in freeship, the uppermost line has a lot of control points on it. Are these connected to edges that will run across the panels eventually or just there to help shape the panel and not connected up? Does that make sense?
