In this special tutorial produced as a user request, we will easily make a complex boat hull using surface modelling tools. You will learn how to start off this design by using canvas images, when and how to use 3D Sketch in your Sketch Palette, how to use the Intersection Curve tool to simply create incredibly complex geometry, use the Patch and Stitch tools to create a solid model body, and then finish off your design by using the Shell tool. Stay tuned to the end to see how to use one more surface modelling tool.

I've tried this before but never had a decent result, and it's because I didn't use Section Curves. I'll be putting this to use right away. Thanks!

I'm brand new here, but I'm only able to download the front pic of the boat from the link above. All 3 views are shown, but the front downloads as a .png and the other 2 views attempt to download as an html page. Probably "user error", but you may want to look into it. If it is me, let me know what I'm doing wrong. I'm right-clicking on the image and selecting "Save Image As" (PC).
Good tutorial!
