The offsets import routine is indeed for symmetical hulls. However it should be possible to import an asymmetrical hull the following way:

  1. First import the starboard side of your hull
  2. Scale it in the Y-direction with scale factor -1.0. This way the hull is mirrored to startboard side
  3. Save your hull as a part
  4. Now import the portside offsets. Starboard side will be deleted from your model
  5. Finally import the part again in the model.
  6. The final step is to connect both halves, if it has not been done already by the program
