Although the basic process of translating source files to Smart Models is the same, prerequisites, recommendations, and translation settings can vary from one format to another depending on the design tool. The table below lists the output source files supported by Smart Interop Publisher. The Source Files column lists the graphics and data file type combinations that can be used. Detailed information about the 3D model translation workflow for PDS, PDMS, and Smart 3D is located in the Smart Interop Publisher Help. Refer to the Notes/Requirements column in the table for a cross-reference to the specific Help topic for each design tool.

By default, Smart Interop Publisher converts complex geometric objects into simpler
graphic objects during the translation process. These simpler graphic objects can
be difficult for Smart 3D design commands to locate in the as-built model. As such, we recommend that you clear
the Reduce VUE file geometry memory setting in the Translate Source File dialog box. For more information, see Translate to Smart Models in the Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher Help.
