Yes on both accounts. I don't have a version that shows the lines, but in essense I took a shape that was a trapezoid with rounded corners (if you're looking at it from the front side) and swept it around two rails with a third scaling rail as well to help get the shape right.

Yes, I did a projection of a straight line onto the hull, which is the yellow rail I highlighted on the second drawing which was where my problems started.

Would it be best to start over in V2 and recreate my hull shape - would that even fix my problem?
