Integrate PDS Data into Smart 3D - Intergraph Smart 3D - Connectors & Integration - Hexagon

The PDS > Smart 3D > HxGN SDx2 workflow involves exporting data files from PDS, converting PDS data to Smart Interop Objects (SIOs), and importing the SIOs into Smart 3D. The conversion to SIO process generates Smart 3D objects based on a common schema that can be moved and modified.

The workflow processes are listed below. For firsthand experience, you can follow the step-by-step instructions in Best Practices (PDS Data). These exercises take you through mapping a custom PDS property into a Smart 3D Smart Interop Object (SIO), and then synchronizing the custom property with the HxGN SDx2 Common schema.

1. Make sure you install and configure the Intergraph Smart 3D Integration Service for the Smart 3D model containing the imported PDS data.

2. Set up the PDS project and data.

3. Generate the PDS 3D ZVF/XML Data Files.

4. Translate PDS Data Using Smart Interop Publisher.

5. Generate and Import Smart Interop Objects (SIOs).

   If you have custom select lists, properties, interfaces, and classes:

6. Add Custom Schema Objects to the HxGN SDx2 Common Schema.

7. Synchronize the SIOMap File and Common Schema.
