One toolset, every stage of the project

From hull lines and hydrostatics through structure, piping, P&ID and shop drawings – watch the full Notilus suite work as one system inside Rhino 3D.

Who it is for

Built for the marine engineering trade

Used by design offices, shipyards and naval architects on commercial, naval and yacht projects.

Marine designer reviewing 3D yacht model on a workstation Design

Design offices

Structure, piping and drafting share one Rhino 3D file. Revisions propagate without re-export, so delivery dates hold.

Shipyard production with hull under construction Production

Shipyards

Shop drawings, part lists and cutting files flow directly from the engineering model – fewer errors at the source.
