Rhino3d
Creating sections and lines plan drawings fast and accurate is very simple with Rhino. Commands like section and contour are mostly used.
In order to create automatic updates of sections and 2d drawings the free ArchCut plug-in does a wonderful job.
Orca3d
Orca3d plug-in for naval architects is the most convenient solution and also offers hydrostatics, stability and power and speed prediction features.
