Exports or updates a hierarchy for Smart 3D systems to the hierarchy mapping file.

For example, if you want to export Equipment, Extract finds the object ID for each system that contains equipment objects, finds those equipment objects, and exports or updates that hierarchy to the mapping file.

  • The EquipmentHierarchy sheet in the mapping file is updated with the hierarchy of the Smart 3D systems for the equipment discipline.

  • In the same way, worksheets for each discipline are updated at the time of hierarchy export. The PipingHierarchy, ElectricalHierarchy, StructureHierarchy, StructuralEquipmentHierarchy, and HVACHierarchy sheets are updated for their respective disciplines.

  • For piping, the pipeline systems, the OID and number of pipe runs under that system are exported to the hierarchy mapping file.

Discipline

Specifies the discipline (such as piping or equipment) for which to export the hierarchy. You can select a discipline from the list.

Mapping File

Templates of hierarchy mapping sheets are delivered with the mapping file. The mapping file is delivered to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Data\Translators\S3DPDSExport folder. You can copy the mapping sheets to another workbook to create your own hierarchy mapping file.
