Materials Status
Integration with Smart Materials has been changed to improve visibility into the source materials management system where the materials manager is best able to maintain supply and manage requests. For more information, see View material information for an IWP.
-
Materials status can be viewed on the Materials tab for an IWP, and this window shows all status information in a single table for easier access. (CR-AM-163724).
-
You can add material items and BOM items manually to the list in the Materials tab window. (CR-AM-153524, 153522)
-
You can refresh the status of the materials list by submitting an update request from within the Materials tab. (CR-AM-153525)
-
You can create, clear, and revise a Material Issue Report. This can also be viewed on the Materials tab for an IWP under the Material Issue Report View. (CR-AM-167410, CR-AM-167411, CR-AM-167412, CR-AM-167413) (Available in HF1)
-
A Material forecast caching scheduler is now available that updates forecast data in Smart Construction at configurable intervals. For more information, see Configure the material forecast polling interval. (CR-AM-169069) (Available in HF1)
Components browser
Improvements have been made to the Components browser to make it more helpful for packaging and managing components.
-
Advanced search features, such as Smart Search, are now available in the Components browser window. For more information, see Configure Smart Search for component category. (CR-AM-132044)
-
You can now view the materials status in the Components browser window. For information on configuring this feature, see Configure a materials web system with Smart Construction, Material status service, and Create the Material status service. For information on using the feature, see Learn more about component category views and the Component browser window. (CR-AM-140444)
Smart Completions
Smart Construction can be configured to allow the import of data about systems, subsystems, test packs, and loops from Smart Completions so that you can visualize each of these levels of completion within a model using a new set of filters designed specifically for showing incremental levels of completion. (CR-AM-157690)
-
For more information on configuring a connection to between Smart Construction and Smart Completions, see Configure a connection to Smart Completions.
-
For more information on using the new completion filters with a model, see View completion progress in a 3D model.
3D Model Viewer
In order to improve the performance and functionality of the 3D Viewer, the Smart Construction client software is now a 64-bit application and the 3D Viewer itself has been updated. (CR-AM-142670)
User preferences
A new user preference can be enabled to verify if you want to be warned when marking or clearing complete progress for a package. For more information, see Available user preferences. (CR-AM-136180)
Rules of progress
You can specify a blank lookup value for the Rules of Progress. For more information, see Configure the rules of progress in the rules of progress configuration workbook. (CR-AM-131995)
SmartPlant Foundation documents
Smart Construction now supports all the SmartPlant Foundation document types. For more information, see Configure SmartPlant Foundation documents with tags as a document source and Add a file or folder to an IWP.
RESTful APIs
Smart Construction now supports a fully functional set of read/write RESTful APIs. For details, see Intergraph Smart Construction API and Programming Reference.
Retrieve mapping spreadsheet
When setting up custom retrieve mapping assignments for mapping component categories to particular class definitions, if your category mapping definition depends not only on the class definition but also on one or more property values, you can specify a SmartPlant Foundation condition statement in the Value column to restrict the assignment using one or more properties. For more information on mapping component categories to class definitions using the retrieve mapping spreadsheet, see Structure of the workbook. (CR-AM-123286)
