Do you have 3 views (plan view, side view & end view... all with the stations marked) of the assembled hull ?

I seem to recall I read somewhere about taking the 3 views, being able to set them as a background image in FREEShip & tracing over them to create a new 3D model.

I just had a quick look in FREEShip and cannot see how to set the background images, but maybe I'm missing something.

: any way i can put them into hulls or similar cad package? or, is
: the panel out put a dead end in the cad modelling process?

: btw..it's a free plan from a french site
