What the name of the boat model?

Its a Golant Gaffer

Additi0nal info for you ref problen areas:http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1f56117edc6c5690ab9c83967811b1f7 It looks to me like a problem with the rail profiles 3 to 4 down. I used the shown cutting plane to get intersection points with the rails . You should then be able to create good bulk head profiles for TIG's suggestion pending issue with the rails

Jim,in this case...should i remove the files?
Roadie,sorry if i m(was) a bit harsh to you!

All the best!

No no, you were not harsh. I think this is a tough model to start with.

Elisei,

I'd be interested to learn how you did the modelling of the surface. I can't get it that smooth. I used TIG's EEBR and as can be seen, I get "pleats" at the front.

TIG

Make several equally segmented 'bulkheads' and so it in pieces...
Profile 2 for one becomes profile 1 for the next - split the rails a long the 'keel' and 'side'

chrisjk

Thanks TIG.

The mesh in the first post isn't very clean - there are many edges that are not connected to anything, and many that do not actually intersect. You really need to get in close to find them, but they are there. It might explain some of the results of using some of the plug-ins.

Is this sort of thing a use for TIG's manifold plug-in?

All of the rail ( cline) profiles do not intersect( except some places at the ends) with the bulkheads and if one uses a cutting plane and tries to create them there are points that look obviously out of place. Trying to fill in with a bezier curve can be done but the hull then is not correct. Working with the orginal post model with out correcting the profiles and itersection will probably result in problems just getting worse IMHO.
