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.

Smart Interop Object data generated from 3D model data created using Smart 3D 2018 and earlier or upgraded datasets with Smart Interop Object data generated using Smart 3D 2018 or earlier do not support most Smart Interop functionality, such as moving and rotating Smart Interop Object equipment, rotating Smart Interop Object piping components, routing from Smart Interop Object parts, and creating isometrics from Smart Interop Objects. |
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.
