Keep Project Database

Allows you to update object data from the source files without overwriting the Smart Review project database (.mdb) file that was generated by the initial translation to a Smart Model. When you open a Smart Model in the Smart Review target application, the software stores all your work, such as display set definitions, measurements, animations, and so forth, in the project database file. If this option is not selected, the project database file is overwritten during the update operation, and you lose all your Smart Review features and settings. The system preserves the project database file by default.

Keep original Smart Model settings?

Specifies whether to use the original translation settings to generate the Smart Model.

  • Click Yes to use the original translation settings specified in the Smart Models grid. The remaining translation settings in the dialog become unavailable. In this case, Smart Interop Publisher updates the .svf file and associated out-of-date Smart Model .vue files.

  • Click No to change translation settings and update. Smart Interop Publisher updates the .svf file and all associated Smart Model .vue files.

If you selected multiple Smart Models with different translation settings, click Yes to update each Smart Model with the current translation settings, or click No, edit the translation settings, and then apply them to all the selected Smart Models.

Settings Group

Specifies a set of customized translation options. See Define Translation Settings.

Mapping Options

Specifies the Default, Custom, or Generic mapping options applied during translation. See Configure Mapping to Control Model Display.

Mapping Files Location

Specifies the folder location of the mapping files to use.

Change SmartSolids to Surfaces for V7 DGN files

Changes the SmartSolid display from wireframe to surface mode. If you do not select this option, SmartSolids are automatically translated to display in wireframe mode. This option displays when:

  • There is a DGN selected as one of the source files.

  • You have MicroStation J (version 07.01) installed. If you do not have MicroStation V7.01 installed, but you have a DGN file as one of your source files, this option displays, but it is unavailable.

Reduce geometry size

Creates a potentially smaller .vue, .zvf or .bin file. Smart Interop Publisher reduces geometry representations as much as possible without losing the rendering compatibility between all SmartPlant Enterprise applications. This means that the display of graphics must be the same whether you are opening the .vue or .zvf file with Smart Review, SmartPlant Foundation, or adding it as reference 3D data in Smart 3D. This reduction option can cause a longer load time. By default, this option is not selected.

The Reduce geometry size and Remove outliers options create GPolyMesh type geometries in the translated Smart Models. Polymesh geometries can impact Smart 3D modeling operations such as placing structures and selecting surfaces or planes to create relationships. You might also encounter problems with clash detection and drawings. For translated Smart Models, clear the selected removal option and Update the Smart Model to remove the issues in Smart 3D.

Update all related Smart Models

Update all Smart Models that belong to the same source file translation. Because different Smart Models can be created from the same source file, this option allows you to update only the Smart Models created from the same initial translation as the selected Smart Model. This option displays for Smart Models originally translated using the MicroStation option Translate each design model separately. This option also adds new Smart Models to the grid if there are new design models in the source file during an update. The newly-added Smart Models get the same settings as those of the Smart Model selected for the update. See MicroStation options.

Single label database

Allows you to create a single label database for a Composite Smart Model or an older .svf project created using Smart Review or Smart Interop Publisher. Select the option to create a single label database (.mdb2) file to provide a faster load time. By default, the option is turned off so that the software creates a label database for each .vue file in the .svf project or Composite Smart Model. This option displays when you have .svf files that contain .vue files saved from 3D Model Data documents in Smart 3D or Smart 3D SPRDirect.

The Single Label Database option is also turned off if (a) the source files for the selected Smart Models are not in the Source Files grid, and (b) if you have selected .vue files from both Smart 3D SPRDirect and 3D Model Data. You can only have .vue files from one or the other Smart 3D source.

Update

Runs translation immediately on the selected Smart Models to include any settings and source file changes.

Schedule

Opens a scheduling dialog that allows you to schedule the update one time or on a regular basis.
