[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 113764, member: 863"] I'm trying to make the best of some crappy weather, and work on planning my front deck support structure. I don't visualize things really well, I do better with drawings, even crude ones if they work. In this case, I decided to use some online graph paper- I did a search for free online graph paper, and found a link to a bunch of pdf files of different kinds. I just did a screen capture of a section of one, copied it to MS Paint, and started drawing based on the dimensions I took of the front half of my boat. As you can see, it turned out well. I used the scale 1 square = 1 inch. This isn't filled out yet, I just thought someone might benefit from this idea. I know this is only 2 dimensional and of limited value in the case of planning deck support structure, but I still find it helpful. It would be a big help I would think in the planning of decks, flooring, compartments, etc. EDIT: I did a side view one too, and no doubt it will at least help me estimate how much aluminum angle I need, at least. The "bumps" in the side view drawing are the ribs. [/QUOTE]
