In Response To: Are you just pulling our collective leg? (Ross Leidy)

Got here (work) at 06:00 and started where I left off from yesterday's lunch session. I figure I get the benefit of using the system at work, and while I'm here I do some work at the same time (multitasking) so that work benefits as well.

Well, I put in the station offsets for Nick's Stitch and Glue (S&G) kayak, and then connected the dots at the form corners (with bezier curves) to get sheerlines, chines, keel, and whatever you call that godawfull kink at the top of the deck. Then I extrapolated the the chine and keel, sheer, deck curves to get endpoints of the boat.

From there I started reshaping the wireframe grid to my own tastes. I moved the endpoints to +/- 20 inches from the first and last stations, reshaped the deck, and modified the hull a bit more extensively than I'd first planned. I'm pleased with the lines now, so I'll start generating new forms offsets next time I wake up early and can't get back to sleep.
