Mick Thanks for responce on our problem, Rob's plan are on two large sheets of paper, the hull and deck are drawn as a total unit and only given from the center line over. So on these two sheets, one has whole number sations the other with 1/2 marked stations. Two to three forms are placed on top of each other and are alined by the shear line. For me to get the right placement for each station I used Rob's distance from the baceline measurements and drew each station the distance above the baseline as per Rob's measurenents. I think this should have made everything fair? Rob's plans are vary official looking with the model name and copy write warning all over them. I don't think I have to two different boats plan mixed together. This internet stuff is fun THANKS, Cheers Brian
