I’d be interested to learn how, using Shapr3d, I could create a flat surface of this profile so the wall could be cut out of a sheet of ply.

my specific interest is to create templates of boat panels.

Look at the profile, specifically at the orange tilted bit. Just draw exactly that profile and sweep it.

Apparently I can’t fathom how to use the sweep tool

It has some limitations. Simply draw any line, or connected lines. Make a construction plane on a point on a line. Sketch your profile on that plane. Jump out of sketch mode. choose the profile. Choose sweep tool. Then it prompts you to select the line (path). Keep selecting lines if they are connected. Click the “okay” check.

You can make picture frames with this method.

These two images show the sweep tool’s handiness. You can sweep with along “most” any edge. Simply make a plane to sketch your profile on. Sometimes it won’t work on angles that are too sharp or splines that double back or would cause self instersection of the body.
