Thread: 3D Parametric Equipment Modeling

Bentley AutoPlant Equipment uses the same project structure as Bentley Autoplant P&ID, Piping, Structural, Isometrics and Raceways applications with both 2D and 3D data in the same database. If other application sets are used, the 3D user will see a full list of line numbers to select from when
routing piping. When placing equipment, they will be able to select equipment tags from those that were previously placed on a P&ID, or otherwise entered into the database using Data Manager. If the user is only responsible for the detailed design phase of a project, Data Manager and Datasheets can be used in conjunction with the 3D data. Line list reports or equipment data sheets can be generated from the data entered in the 2D or 3D environment. There are additional 2D/3D tools such as the ability to browse the P&ID from within a 3D application, set the current spec and size from a component on the P&ID, and more.

Thanks Andrew for this useful information. i am sure that it will help many of us. lets see what others have to say about it?
