In Smart 3D, you can now view a P&ID’s typicals and correlate these with your model. Within a P&ID drawing, typicals are user defined, graphical representation, of a group of objects and their relationships. On a P&ID drawing, typicals mark the position of where similar groups of objects should appear but have been hidden from view. For example, on a drawing typicals that contain a series of pipes, a pump, and valves, informs the viewer that at this position on the drawing there is more than one group of objects that consist of a series of pipes, a pump, and valves, but have been hidden from view to make the reading of the drawing clearer.

By default, typicals are hidden when you view the P&ID using the View P&ID command. To know exactly what the hidden objects are the viewer needs to switch views, from the primary view to the typicals view. Layer Control commands allow you to switch show and hide typicals, show and hide primary, and switch between primary and typicals views when a 3D object is highlighted.
