I design boats and have been looking at SW as a replacement for Rhino but this video has only gave me reasons to run away Maybe you chose a bad model example for showing dome surfacing in SW IF THIS IS THE WAY to make a boat in SW, RUN AWAY FAST from SW

The video example you watched in SolidWorks (SW) for boat design may not have represented a realistic model. Remember that a single video cannot fully showcase the software's capabilities. While SolidWorks is primarily known for solid modeling and mechanical design, it does offer surfacing features for boat design. The video's choice of model or approach may have influenced your negative impression. To form a fair judgment, explore additional resources, tutorials, and examples focused on boat design in SolidWorks. Seek insights from experienced boat designers who have used SolidWorks. Ultimately, select software based on your requirements, familiarity, and necessary features. Thoroughly research and experiment with different options to find the best fit for your boat design needs.
