Access to Sketch 2D commands is environment-specific, which means that only relevant Sketch 2D commands are accessible when the corresponding 3D environment command is active. For example, when you use Place Chute Shapes Command Place2DChuteShapes_iand then open Sketch 2D, the software allows you to access only Create Trajectory Custom Command and Place 2D Chute Shapes Custom Command Place2DChuteShapes_i. The other Sketch 2D commands are visible but inactive.

The table below lists the Smart 3D commands and the relevant Sketch 2D command for each:

Data layer

Use the data layer to group related sets of symbols. Symbols representing 3D equipment, trusses, control points, or trestles can be placed on a data layer. The data is associated with a system in the 3D model. You can change the data layer at any time.

Each data layer has a different parent system and should only contain data from one 2D automation command. For example, do no place idlers and trusses on the same layer.

Symbol folder

When running any of the commands for the first time, you need to browse to the folder containing the 2D symbols, and associated command configuration (.lst) files. Material Handling symbols are delivered in the Smart 3D SharedContent folder.

Placement point selection

Place Belt Components positions symbols along the belt profile. Before the first symbol is placed, however, an initial point on the belt profile needs to be selected. This point on the belt is the starting reference point. This is only true for belt components.

Equipment orientation

By default, equipment is placed normal to the belt. If a different orientation is needed, it can be specified via the Orientation option. This selection is only available when placing equipment type components.
