What do you mean when you say you've made the sections in photoshop? Do you mean the reference images?

Thats right! First thing I did was to make a drawing on a paper, than I scan the picture in to photoshop, it´s easy to make path in that program with pen tool, I haven´t found a similar tool in 3dmax. (totaly newbe on the prog)
I will start to build a small model of the boat, so every 100mm from the stern to bow I will make sections, (14 of them) and finaly I hope to lay a "skin" that will be the shelving/tabling on the real boat.

Hope this is possible. Hope to se on a computerpicture if the drawings looks good and proper.

Thats not how 3d modelling works. You can make Splines which are like paths, but making a 3d model is not as simple as drawing paths.

Here is a simple modelling tutorial:

As varnished said you can work with splines in max but you won't be able to use what you've done other than for reference. Have a look at the images below:

Image 1: Create your splines follow the curve of the hull.
Image 2: Drag out cross section to link all the sections:
Image 3: Add a surface modifier.

steve... what does cross section do in the splines??

---

It links them all the separate sections up at their vertices. Compare the second image with thte first one in my example.

yaa... got it....! but where this can be useful??

---

Well the surface modifier won't work unless all the sections are linked up. It's not a tool I use a great deal but it's handy in this case.
