Food4Rhino

The Marine Model Reports plugin for Rhino can generate a Bill Of Masses and a Bill Of Materials from a vessel’s 3D model. It take in account points, curves, surfaces, solids and blocks, and use the parameters from the layers names to apply the unitary/lineic/surfacic/volumic masses, with a margin percentage applied. The report also includes an automatic bill of materials.

A command is also provided to generate an hydrostatic report at a given height interval (based on Rhino hydrostatics features)

Both reports will be generated as excel files (.xlsx) based on a customizable template, but microsoft excel doesn’t need to be installed on the computer.
