Thanks guys, and Updates you will get!

Ribs Added and Platforms Removed, Keel is also complete, Temporary Main Deck Planks can be seen but these will be removed when framework is built.

I have an interesting issue that I cant seem to find a solution for, the Hull Planking is done in 1 group, to show in the rendering however each plank needs to be modeled and grouped seperatly, the method Ive attempted was to use the follow me tool starting from the top line with a circle and intersecting it with the hull face, this works for the first 4 planks but after a while the amount of intersections become to much and it becomes a mess.

Im sure a plugin for this must exist, this task can be achived manually but it will take hours if not days, and it will not be used in the final model at all as its just for rendering purposes.... Ideas?

Have you tried 1001 Tools? you're essentially trying to extrude a flat profile along a complex curve... I've used this plugin for complex walkways on bridges with curves a spiral... same thing basically. http://www.1001bit.com

Open the Ruby Console.
Then try running the tool.
Report any error messages.

Also check your Plugins folder's Properties > Security permissions are set to FULL for everyone in the list [Edit + Apply/OK]
If not this might stop some log file etc getting written if you have limited rights...

Hi TIG, sorry for the tardy reply, I didn't get a notification of the replies on this thread..

I checked permissions on the plugin folder; all full control so no issues there.

Re-ran the plugin with the ruby script window open.. Same issue as before, this time using one of the sample files

Screen shot attached to explain.

Love the idea of this plugin but I'm having no success in getting it to work at all. I've followed the instruction to the letter, checked directories, updated the lib file.. but can't get it to work even with the sample files.

The error message window does not appear, is there a log file located somewhere that I could send in hope of finding the problem??

Cheers
