27 Metre America's Cup Racer


Norfolk N Waye

Recommended Posts

As the title says, I'm building a 27 metre racing sloop. Everything was going well until I started planking the bow. Now, for some strange reason, the rotation gizmo has decided to be uncooperative when I try to fit a plank properly. Whenever I try to use the blue (vertical axis) my plank turns up and back instead of just tilting back.

Another tip for this kind of work.

If you start working on an angle, and want the next item(prim) to automatically to be at that same angle, then change the "Global" setting to "local".

Global follows the standard X and Y, Local follows your actual work and ignores the X and Y.

Thank you Jen! Switching to 'Local' has definitely helped although I wish we had either more solids or ways to manipulate them. Ideally for this project, I'd love to be able to cover the hull with several sheets that could be altered to fit its contours, instead of placing individual planks. C'est la vie!
