The SmartPlant > View P&ID Command command allows you to display a P&ID that has been retrieved into the model.

The Smart 3D > View P&ID command displays both P&IDs and D&IDs.

Using a P&ID from the two-dimensional (2D) environment within the three-dimensional (3D) environment is an example of the integration of disciplines. Beyond the display functionality, the software allows you, the designer, to retrieve objects that correlate between the P&ID and the model. This process helps you to create the appropriate 3D design objects.

The P&ID objects you can select and place in the 3D model include pipe runs, equipment, piping components, cables, and instrument components. You can assign 3D objects to Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) projects and later change the assignments to different projects.

In the Piping task, the Route Pipe command includes the option Select from P&ID to graphically select a run from a P&ID to route. You must set the Locate Filter box to All or Pipe Run before selecting a run from a P&ID. When you select a run on a P&ID, the software checks to see if the run already exists in the model. If the run does exist and is correlated, then the software locates the existing run in the model from the correlated run on the selected P&ID. If the run does not exist, then the Create New Run dialog appears, allowing you to create the new run. For most components, you can add them during routing or after routing is complete. Some components, like reducers, must be inserted during routing.

The Equipment and Furnishings task also provides commands that work with placing objects from a P&ID. These commands include the Place Equipment, Place Equipment Component, Place Designed Equipment, Place Designed Equipment Component, Place Shape, and Place Nozzle commands.

You can resize the window with standard Windows commands on the title bar, like Minimize, Expand, and Close. The window has its own toolbar with viewing commands, such as Zoom Out, Zoom Area, Fit, and Pan.

The colors of various objects in a P&ID reflect the correlation status between the P&ID and the 3D model. You can consider this a graphical To Do List that helps you identify additional work after using the Retrieve command. Use the P&ID Viewer in conjunction with the Compare Design Basis command to see property differences. You can specify the colors using Options > Set Correlation Status Colors in the P&ID File Viewer menu bar.

The Select Correlated command on the P&ID File Viewer Tools menu selects 3D objects that match with objects in the P&ID. You can select objects with data match, data mismatch, topology mismatch, and unknown data match. You can also select correlated objects in as-built. The objects must satisfy the parameters of the active locate filter. When you complete a Select Correlated command, the software highlights the objects in the 3D view and places them in the select set.

Handling Deleted Design Basis Issues

Items deleted from the P&ID can be found in the 3D model by updating the objects using the Compare Design Basis dialog box or by specifying a filter to select the deleted objects. Any design basis objects that compare with a status of correlated design basis deleted will be deleted when you click Update on that dialog box.

You can also use Fence Select to update large amounts of data. You set the Select filter to All, fence the design objects to update, and then run the Compare Design Basis command.
