What is the purpose of a bearding line, and how do you know where to put it if one is no mentioned in your plans?

a line on the side of the stem, deadwoods, keel, and sternpost of a ship marking the intersection of the outer face of the frames with these members.
A more detailed explaination for various type of ships is at this site: https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/bearding-line.50590/
