Lofting - 3.Stem Section

Now it's time to draw Stem Section in Profile which is a top view of Stem Face.
For this, we need to clarify some terms.

* PT: Plank Thickness of Top Side or Bottom.
* Moulding and Siding are the size of Stem Plank, length and width.
* Faying Surface is where it's glued and stuck toghether to some part.

Let's start drawing Stem Section.

1.Draw a perpendicular line to Stem Face of Canoe Body.

- Pick a point on Stem Face and then draw a perpendicular line to B50 line. This is a Center Line for Stem Section.

2.Draw a 50mm line from the intersect between Center Line B50 on the B50 Line.

3.Draw a PT4mm Plank Thickness.

4.Draw Plank with 32mm length from inside of PT and 15mm width. And make the corner filleted.

Below is how to draw Stem Section in AutoCAD.

Then make more Stme Section drawing to the joint between Hog and Stem Face.
