The easiest way is to save a copy of the linesplan in dxf, then open it in a CAD program and print from there, because this will give you your stem profiles. First, specify where you want your stations. The second way is to export 2D dxf polylines.

I’m uploading 3 pdfs. One includes the stations, and the other two include the bow and stern stems.

Let me know how this turns out for you.

Hello

A french Goodnow is born…
I did a test today on the sea.
Nice boat, easy to roll, very fast…
It was not so difficult to build it.
My son make some photos. Of course It is his kayak.

The next one will be for me, an Igdorllsuit.

[...] Goodnow Kayak: A very low volume Greenland kayak. It’s been built in skin-on-frame and plywood. Search the archives at Qajaq USA for more info. [...]

You’ll have to go into the layer menu and mark each plate as developable. You’ll notice when you develop the model, that there is major compression in places.

It might make this boat a hard one to build in plywood.

I have used Freeship to open the file. It was OK but it is impossible to “develop plate”.
Is it normal?
I want to try to buil this kayak and I need to use this function to prepare the plywood plate.
Could you help me?
Thanks
