After you create a Smart Interop Publisher project, add your PDMS source files and perform the translation. If you have custom properties, make sure you have completed the mapping and placed the .xlsx file in an accessible folder.
Translation Requirements and Considerations
-
Smart 3D only supports .rvm files exported in binary mode.
-
When exported with Representation ON and INSULATION/OBSTRUCTION values are between 12% and 87%, Smart 3D:
-
Translates obstruction objects as transparent in .rvm files created from PDMS 12.0 SP5 or later and E3D 2.1 as transparent. Otherwise, all obstruction objects are translated and displayed as solid graphical objects.
-
Supports aspects for piping and equipment.
-
-
Smart 3D only supports Cyrillic (Windows 1251) encoding. You must use Windows codepage-based fonts.
-
Smart 3D allows you to translate PDMS models with multiple attribute (.att) files in the same folder as the PDMS source file.
