Resource for standardized interior component sizes?

I'm sure this is a newbie question but I couldn't seem to formulate a querry for the search function that would tell me what I wanted to know.

Is there a site somewhere with a set of standarized dimmensions for interior components?

Examples of what I'm trying to find are things like:

How long is a typical v-berth? How wide at the shoulders and toes?

How deep is a typical comfortable settee? and high off the cabin sole? How high is the back, and at what angle does it meet the bottom?

I know that a lot of this is subjective, but some guidelines would be very helpful.

Thanks!

There are definately standard sizes that are used by the naval architects, however this is not a conditio sine que non.
I give you a few samples:

For a berth you take 2.00 mtrs;
width of a berth: 60 - 70 cms ( no more ) in older boats they are smaller.
A double is between 1.20 - 1.40 mtr
The depth of a sette: around 50-55cm
The height depends on the cushions, including cushions 50/55 cm.
Modern designs show larger sizes because of increased general length of people.
