Hi All,

I have been trying everything I can think of to make the shape I need, but I just have not had any success. The shape I am building looks like a simple "Boat Hull" or "Half Pill" shape.

Ultimately, I am making the following model:



Note how the bottom portion is shaped. However, I need a steeper "slope" at the front of the "hull" and this is where things get extremely difficult. Sweeps and lofts tend to have looped surfaces, while "networks" tend to not be tangent to mating surfaces. It is likely that I need to redraw this thing from scratch, but I was hoping to get some advice before I do.

This is the modification I am looking for (red circled area):



Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Loft loose and exact. Then chop the top off. You can lost to a point so that you have a solid.

Gotcha, thanks for the links and files. This helps a lot.

I might actually redraw the entire part this way, should help me end up with a more stable model.

Thanks!

Maybe this also can help you in some moments of your creation! ;)

Hi Jake
this may help if you are after a hull without the crease on the keel.
Take the keel shape and half of the deck shape rebuild and extrude.
you can then blend between the edges giving half of the hull shape you require mirror and join.
To get a curved deck draw the shape you want in the side view (shown in red) and use the isec tool
to create a new deck shape.Extend keel to match new deck curve and again extrude and blend.
