I thought you're making a real boat not a toy

nice start but

there's always google, tray it you'll find some great details

size of the boat, any rooms , if you only have that sketch and want to draw exactly , you should quit when you still can

you re making you one boat

Hey Came,

Ur right, But sinds im kinda new with 3D drawings I think ill just
make this one for fun and for learning the Cad commands
And after that ill start drawing a real boat.



Another picture! I made it from the sketch

[Came]

tray a simple kayak I had post above

you wont learn anything drawing that thing, draw 3-5 kayak

learn with them, frst there was kayak, then with sails then a sub

You're making a sub right now, good luck

Even tho my self esteem dropt by 70%

Well Im going to bed..

See you guys tomorrow!

I think it would be wiser to start with something a little less complex and work your way up to the boat. Just a suggestion. Welcome to the CADTutor forum.

Sounds like an ambitious project! I would certainly start with some easier to get used to commands or you are liable to overwhelm yourself with it.

Autocad doesnt have as much control over shapes like other packages do but you can still create a great model. I would play around with making the ribs of the boat and using them to loft your hull. I drew one cross section, copied it 3 times and scaled down the two ends by 75% and lofted this(then used the solidedit>body>shell command)

For something like this you will also want to play around with sweeping and lofting curves along paths and use these surfaces as slicing tools.
