Auto marking
Selected parts are automatically marked to attached plating. Position and custom markers can be added or modified in seconds.
From auto marking to live material lists — pictured here as it runs natively inside Rhinoceros.

Automatic stiffener generation with automatic cut-outs lets you create or modify structure as the hull form evolves.
Sheet database tracks remaining stock and re-use, with live remnant management across blocks.
Recognises type, thickness and pose on existing models — turn imported geometry into structured parts in one click.
Rapid, accurate modelling with a clean Rhino-native UI — short commands, sensible defaults, no relearning curve.
Face plates as stiffeners with bending schemas and plots — including amorphous geometry support.
Separate the model into blocks for production planning — assign, isolate and progress each block independently.
Both planar and amorphous plates can be expanded with markers — directly into the cutting workflow.
Symmetric parts update on the mirrored side automatically — model once, both sides stay in sync.
Add and modify lightening holes without manual sketching — parametric and editable at any stage.
Live BOM and centre-of-gravity tracking per block — exportable straight to Notilus Drafting and Clipper.
Steeler reads the Rhino NURBS hull and frame layout directly.
Parametric structure with auto marking, cut-outs and stiffeners.
Plate expansion, lightening holes and block separation — ready for the cutter.
Live material list per block, exportable to Notilus Drafting and Clipper.
A 15-day evaluation license is issued by the engineering team. Tell us about the vessel and the plugins you'd like to try — we reply within one working day.
Notilus Steeler is part of an end-to-end marine engineering toolset. These plug-ins continue the workflow once the steel structure is modelled.
