RhinOffsets
There is, perhaps nothing more tedious in all of naval architecture
than the creation of a table of offsets. It takes hours of
measuring distances, recording them and then typing them into a cell of
a table. Efforts have been made to use spreadsheets, with limited
success. Even with spreadsheets, the chances for transcription
errors exist.
Now, with RhinOffsets, you can spend 10 minutes or so creating the
necessary curves with data attached and with a few clicks, create a
table of offsets in DXF format that can be read into your Rhinoceros
model or AutoCAD (or other CAD) drawing .
When the dialog (shown below) appears, you simply arrange your curves
in the order you want them to appear in the table, select your output
units, text justification, and specify how you want the table to
appear. When you press the "Go" button, your table is
created.
Why RhinOffsets?
RhinOffsets differs from other plugins available, because RhinOffsets
puts your offset table where it belongs - on your lines drawing, whether
that drawing is in Rhino or in a CAD system, such as AutoCAD. No
need to figure out how to attach the spreadsheet like with other plugins.

RhinOffsets demo available
As with all software, we offer a demonstration
version of the RhinOffsets plug-in. What's different about
this demo is that it only works with the models that are
provided in the demo package. We've included enough
different kinds of hulls that you can get a good idea how the
program works (and how well it works). Once you've run the
plug-in on a couple of these models, we're certain you'll be
ready to create tables of offsets for your own Rhino model(s),
at which time, you will come back and purchase the program,
itself.

Purchase here
Once you've taken the demo for a spin, here is where you can get the
real deal. We think you will quickly realize that the plug-in will
save you the purchase price the first time you use it. Keep in mind
that the license only allows you to install it on one computer at your
work place and one computer at home. If you want to purchase several
licenses, the discounts shown on our products page
apply.
Special Offer for Tutorial Buyers
If you are considering purchasing one or both of the Rhino tutorial
suites for marine designers, be sure to see the special offer on the
appropriate page. We're offering to throw RhinOffsets in at no extra
charge, if you purchase both tutorials.
