Sketching is employed by both designers of Physically Large and Complex (PL&C) systems (e.g. novel and complex ships) and architects of major buildings and urban structures. However, the interface concepts implemented in advanced CAD tools for preliminary design have until now inhibited the use of an exploratory sketching approach. This paper considers whether the historic approach by designers to use sketching for design exploration and communication of ideas can be met by CAD-based design. Proposals are presented which could lead to a more responsive and innovative approach to preliminary ship design.
