Create the Cross-section Sketch(es)

 * 1) create a new sketch [[Image:Sketcher_NewSketch.svg|24px]], in the XZ-Plane
 * 2) the following dialog will appear: [[File:Macro_Half-Hull_ModelScreenSnapshot1.jpg]] The dialog is asking how far from the origin the Sketch should be placed. This will refer to how far the cross-section is from the bottom of the stemline (which was placed at (0,0)). The cross-sections can be equally spaced but need not be. The forward-most cross-section will be at Y=0 (i.e. the origin where the stemline bottom ends) or at Y<=0. The cross-sections will be at increasingly negative Y values until the transom is at the most negative Y value. In the example above, the cross-section Sketch will be placed 50 FreeCAD units from the origin on the negative Y axis.
 * 3) start on the Y axis and draw upwards into Quadrant I - the first (i.e. foremost) cross-section should start at origin (0,0) (or it will look odd as the stemline ends at 0,0) but other cross-sections need only start on the Y axis. [[File:Macro_Half-Hull_ModelUsage3.jpg]]
 * 4) use the same number of line segments as in the Stemline Sketch
 * 5) save sketch [[Image:Sketcher_LeaveSketch.svg|24px]]
 * 6) repeat as this step necessary, it may be quicker to copy this sketch and then space the copies on the Y-axis, modifications may be made to the individual Sketches as required
 * 7) for naming, it will make things easier to give some sort of sequence to the cross-sections, starting at the bow (i.e. the stemline) and increasing towards the stern (i.e. the transom)
