If you are familiar with building boat hulls or a air plane fuselage then at some point you will need to create the bulkheads or ribs. There are tools in FreeCAD part workbench that allow for cross sections but they are not parametric. We will explore a method of using the Curves WB to create a cutting tool that we can use both as a sectioning tool to split the body into sections and use as a sketching surface.

In this tutorial we will take a boat hull and create it from just three of profiles, two of which are the same. We will loft through these profiles to make our hull of the ship / boat. Using tools in the curves workbench in seconds we will create 8 ribs or bulkheads to cover the length of the boat. The shape of which can be modified from the original three sketches.
