: into problems on a kayak with a -.011829 error and 4 iterations. It was
: buildable, but required a bit of work to make that happen.

I wondered what those numbers meant, I assumed it's % change in length/area? The two fairly curvy ones I built last year required 11 and 14 iterations but had errors on the order of +/- .001 or less They both went together as 4mm very easily so who knows... I did figure out that the program worked MUCH better if all the control points were aligned vertically in profile with each side of each panel having the same number of points. The one I'm working on now is even worse 17 but still ~.001 so we'll see.............
