Supported 3D Model Formats - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

CADWorx Plant Professional, CADWorx Equipment

2015

.dwg
-or-
Graphics: .vue
Data: .drv
Data: .mdb2

For .dwg files containing proxy objects, the following software is required:

MicroStation V8i and RealDWG 2013 SP1

• Install and activate MicroStation V8i SS3, and then install RealDWG 2013 SP1 to translate any proxy objects inside these files. For normal AutoCAD entities, the presence of MicroStation is ignored. However, if the file contains at least one proxy object and MicroStation V8i is installed, translation is done using MicroStation.

CADWorx Plant Object Enabler:

• For CADWorx data, you must install the CADWorx Plant Object Enabler to view CADWorx Plant components stored in an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg) file. You can install the utility from the Hexagon PPM Intergraph Smart Support website, https://hexagonppm.com/ppm-support. Log on to PPM Smart Community and go to Downloads > CADWorx Plant > Freeware Tools and Utilities to get the latest version.

Smart Interop Publisher supports AutoCAD 2014 or earlier .dwg files.

You can use CADWorx 2015 SP1 to export .vue, .drv, and .mdb2 files. Smart Review opens the .vue file.

CAESAR II

5.1 - 11.0 and later

.mdb

A Microsoft Access Database Engine (64-bit) is required for source file translation.

Smart Interop Publisher can translate the designated north direction from CAESAR II 11.0 files.

Isogen® (IDF, PCF, POD), SmartPlant Spoolgen, SmartPlant Isometrics

2014 R1 and earlier

.idf, .pcf, .pod

Generated Isogen data and associated drawing files must have the same name and be placed in the same folder for Smart Interop Publisher to automatically correlate and then publish them to SmartPlant Foundation and Portal applications. For example, Isogen1.pcf and Isogen1.sha must be placed in the same folder when you add the files to Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher.

Take the generated .sha or .igr drawing files and the tooldata or metadata .xml files with the generated .pod or .pdf files from Isogen and use the drawing files as input to Smart Interop Publisher.

PDS, FrameWorks® Plus

v7 to v12

Graphics: .dri, .dgn, .prp, .zvf
Data: .drv, .lin,.sld and .nmg

The .prp file can have accompanying data file types: .lin,.sld and .nmg.

Smart 3D (3D Model data)

2014 R1 and earlier using 3D Model Data Drawing

Graphics: .vue or .zvf
Data: .xml

Data is translated based on the P3DComponent.xml schema file and the RelationshipMapping.txt file.

To report any objects that have been removed from the model since the last publish or update, add a generated tombstone .xml file into the same folder as the source file (.vue or .zvf).

Smart 3D SPRDirect

v2011.R1, 2014 R1, 2016

Graphics: .vue
Data: .mdb2

SmartPlant P&ID

2014 R1

Graphics: .pid
Data: .xml

Data is translated based on the PIDComponent.xml schema file and the RelationshipMapping.txt file.

This format is not supported when translating and exporting to the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) target.

SmartSketch

2016

.igr

This format is not supported when translating and exporting to the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) target.

AVEVA PDMS

V12.1 and earlier

Graphics: .rvm (Binary only)

Data: .att/.datal

When there is an .att and .datal file, Smart Interop Publisher uses only the .att file. If the .rvm and .datal are used, not all objects can have properties. You might have to go back to your AVEVA PDMS application and ensure that tags are written for all objects in the .datal file.

ACIS - Design model data from products such as AutoCAD Inventor, Creo, Solid Edge, and SolidWorks

ACIS R28

.sat

• The size of the SAT file to be translated should not exceed 2 GB.

• Graphics only.

AutoCAD

2014 and earlier

.dwg, .dxf

MicroStation V8i and RealDWG 2013 SP1 are required for DWG files containing proxy objects.

• Install and activate MicroStation V8i, and then install RealDWG 2013 SP1 to translate any proxy objects inside these files.

Autodesk Navisworks Manage or Autodesk Navisworks Simulate

2013, 2016, 2017 SP1 and 2018 SP1

.nwd and .nwf

You must have Autodesk Navisworks Manage or Autodesk Navisworks Simulate installed and activated to translate .nwd and .nwf files.

Although Smart Interop Publisher can translate native Navisworks .nwd files, we highly recommend that you translate the original source files used to generate the Navisworks file. The original source files could be formats such as .rvm/.att, .dwg, .dgn, and .ifc. Translating the original source files with Smart Interop Publisher instead of .nwd files provides better graphics quality and a more extensive, richer mapped property data.

AutoPlant - Smart Interop Publisher supports versions that can export .dwg, .dgn, and i.dgn files.

MicroStation V8i SS3 and RealDWG 2013 SP1 are required for AutoPLANT graphics files.

Install and activate MicroStation V8i. Then download and install install RealDWG 2013 SP1 to translate any proxy objects inside the graphics files.

• Source files must be exported from AutoPlant using the Project Packager utility.
