Oh, hmm. I hadn't thought of that. Ha! I know someone who knows Rhino already! Oh, cool!
This was a bit of an overview--you can also set the center of buoyancy, the center of greatest cross sectional area (why those two even *can* be separate parameters I don't understand), the enter (think of it as the overhang of the bow) the leave (ditto for stern), max beam at gunwale, max beam at waterline, max angle at keel, max angle at waterline, there are provisions for changing the sheer and the rocker beyond what the four parameters for each allow...
Actually, if you want to play with it, it's here: BearBoatSP (http://web.mac.com/rlivingston/BearboatSP/BearboatSP.html)
I will see about exporting a DXF file and, if you have the time and interest, you can let me know 1) if Rhino can read it and 2) if Rhino can generate a table of offsets from it.
