CoopOnDaCooper Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Folks - I have everything lofted out, but looking at the FreeB 12 file I downloaded from the kudzu site the other day, line 4 under the bow: X=2 1/16 Y= 8 Z= 4 As the bow runs longitudinally down the boat, all Y values on lines 1-3 and 5-11 ( in other words, all the other coords) Y=0. What's the story there? I went ahead and lofted out the shgape without that line, as the result looked like a workable bow. Am I missing something here?

Kudzu Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I never cease to be amazed at how such obvious mistakes aren't caught quickly but take so long before they show up. Ignore the 8, I have no idea why or how that got there (and why no one caught it before now!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopOnDaCooper Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Very likely, the other folks were smart enough to realize it, and didn't ask stupid questions. I am new to this, so not afraid to ask the stupid questions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 It is so obvious to me I cant believe it let it get by. Now to find the time to correct it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroE Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I never cease to be amazed at how such obvious mistakes aren't caught quickly but take so long before they show up. Ignore the 8, I have no idea why or how that got there (and why no one caught it before now!). I caught the error when I lofted the boat in a graphics program, but it's so obvious that there's no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think I know why I never changed it. I had to search to find the original file the PDF was made from. I had hide it from myself and did a good job too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soitios Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just got the FreeB 12 Offsets. Under BOW, one of the offsets is (X,Y,Z) = (2-1/16,0,4). I think this should be (2-1/16,0,8) to achieve a smooth bow, but to be honest, I thought that the X coordinates for the bow would be much larger as they should reflect the position of the bow being at the front of the boat, know what I mean? So, stern X values would be in the 0 - 12 inch range, but bow X values would be in the 11-12 foot range. Amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
