You can export different piping models to several different XML files. However, if you want the piping runs connected in the Smart 3D model, you need to export all connected piping models to a single XML file.

  1. Create the configuration file that you will use. There is a configuration file delivered in the ..\PDShell\PDExportToSP3D\config folder called PipingExportConfig.txt for the "out-of-the-box" PDS attributes. If you have added custom attributes to PDS, you will need to edit this configuration file before you can use it. For more information about the export configuration files, see PDS Exporter Configuration Files.

  2. Click Start > All Programs > Intergraph Smart 3D > Translators > PDS Model Data Exporter.

  3. Select a PDS project.

  4. Select the Piping discipline.

  5. Select the Area(s)/model(s) that you want to export. You should export everything that you want connected at the same time.

  6. Click Next to verify the model information and preview the format of the XML file being created.

  7. Select the Output XML file/folder as applicable.

  8. Select the Export configuration file to use from step 1 above.

  9. Provide a name for the Export set file and specify the file location.

  10. Click Finish.

EndPrep and Pressure rating for tapped ports are now being exported.
