Extending a solid

[nt4598]

I now have the following hull where i have removed the deck and the surface on the transom. I would like to extend the deck rewards and the hull meets extends to meet this. So in effect removing the sloping transom to only have a flat one.

I have been using the extend function to extend all four surfaces but have the following questions.

1. Is it possible to extend the whole shape?

2. If i extend the hull, is there a way to draw a horizontal line to remove the excess surface area?

Do you mean something like this?

i do indeed and thanks for that. I'm trying to learn, would you be able to give a rough idea of the process you used or at least the tools?

I forgot to capture history first, so you don't see the offset.

Well, first offset 0,00 mm the outer hull in surface mode.

Extend the transom as needed

Create a plane of the deck using 3 points

Use this plane to trim the overhang

Create an offset plane to trim the transom

Trim transom

Loft the two half profiles to get the transom
