 Sizes are measured at deck level. To avoid making an even width ship you can go for an uneven width + 2 half blocks on the side to get to an even number.

+==== Production Methods ====
+In order to build a ship one of the ways to do that is to use the gantry block, these large blocks and weld and grind.
+However in order to use them to build your ships the projection needs to be on a separate grid, one way would be to have the projection grid magplated to your main grid.
+A good solution would be to setup a projection grid with a merge grid connected to your main grid with a switch to unmerge when its time to get building and have it switch to a magplate to remain static to your grid.
+Use a detacher block to make a connection to the projection, once the ship is complete just hit the button on the detacher block to disconnect the ship from the projectiongrid.
+Projection grid will need:
+  * Beaconblock ( important else cleanup deletes it )
+  * Projector
+  * battery
+  * if not merged to grid when not building maybe add a wind turbine to make sure it can keep projecting
+A cockpit block might be handy on it to help with aligning the projection.
