This 'able will teach you how to create a smooth solid boat front in ACAD 2000

Start by drawing a rectangle that will be the length and width of the front of your boat

This will be in the TOP view

Use POLYLINE / ARC to draw the top view of your boat

i will take you through step by step for the first view

half of your top veiw

and mirror it over

Switch to the FRONT view

Draw a rectangle the length and height of the front of your boat, this will be placed right on the first dimension

This is what your drawing should look like in free space

Draw the outline of your boat from the side

You will be using POLYLINE for this

Now switch to the RIGHT view

And draw a rectangle that is the height and width of the front of your boat

This rectangle should fit with the previous two dimensions

This is what your drawing should look like in free space

Now draw the outline of your boat that will be seen from the front

You will be using POLYLINE for this

This is what your drawing should look like in free space

You will also need to be in a view similar to this for the next steps

Extrude each dimension

Extrude each dimension

Extrude each dimension

Be sure that each dimension is one piece

this will require UNIONing separate half's together

You will be left with 3 solids

Select all three solids and INTERSECT them

You will be left with something similar to the picture below

Begin your smoothing out by FILLETing the edges shown below

Perform each FILLET seperatly

You will have to experiment with FILLET RADIUS's until you get the results you want

If you receive an ERROR, try a smaller RADIUS

Now FILLET this edge on both sides of the solid

You will follow the same guidelines as in the previous step

This is what you will be left with once you have completed the steps
