Using the Smart 3D. Content options, you can specify the content of the isometric drawing. The options allow you to set such things as turning on and off specific coordinates or excluding certain items from the drawing.
For example, to exclude continuation parts from the drawing, you set the following:
-
On the Home screen, click Content in the Smart 3D category tile.
The software switches to the Configuration View and displays the Content option groups in the Options panel.
-
Expand General, and then select the Exclude Continuation Parts check box.
-
Click
to update the isometric style file with the new isometric drawing option settings.
Notice that the software excludes the continuation parts from the drawing content.
Using the Honor Spool At Branch Option
Another way you can control the content of your isometric drawings is to create your drawings on pipelines that maintain spool integrity at branches. The Smart 3D.Content. General.Honor Spool At Branch option gives you this control.
You should generate the spools with the Include Stub-Ins with Header Spool property set to True when using Honor Spool At Branch. See the Piping Help.
For example, in the following graphic, even though the software extracts Pipeline_001 and the stub-in and flange do not belong to the pipeline, they must be manufactured together because they are part of the same spool. Selecting the Honor Spool At Branch property means that all of Spool 1 is included in the isometric drawing for Pipeline_001 and is not included in the isometric drawing for Pipeline_002 (provided the Include Stub-Ins with Header Spool was set to True when you generated the spools for both pipelines).
