Drop him into the model
Pick a point and the figure lands standing on it, at true human scale, as one grouped object. Place as many as the scene needs — each one poses on its own.
From dropping the figure into the model to posing single joints and reading clearances off the geometry — pictured here as it runs natively inside Rhinoceros.

Select a limb and a rotation ring appears at the joint. Drag it or type an exact angle; everything below the joint follows, so nothing comes apart.
Sit, arms, legs and T-pose sit side by side in a single panel, with a switch for the rotation plane. No command line, no hunting through menus.
One command folds the hips and knees, lowers the whole body onto the seat and animates the move. Run it again and he stands, back in his rest stance.
Raise an arm at the galley, the locker or the console and see where the hand lands. Worktop heights and reach limits answered on the model, not on paper.
Stand him in the engine room or a crew space and pose him as a technician would. Headroom, walkways and service access checked before anything is built.
Dude reads whatever you have — hull, interior, engine room, deckhouse. No conversion needed.
One click puts a human-scale figure into the scene. Add as many as you need.

Download a 15-day evaluation installer and run Dude in your own Rhino model — no card required to start.
Notilus Dude is part of an end-to-end marine engineering toolset. These plug-ins share the same Rhino model — pose Dude in whatever you have designed with them.
Design the steel hull, deckhouse and interior structure — then drop Dude in to see if a person actually fits and works there.
Model the composite interior — panels, joinery and seating — and check ergonomics of the finished space with Dude.
Route piping and HVAC through crew spaces and engine rooms — pose Dude as a technician to verify service access.
