To enable Smart Materials to find Ident keys from Smart 3D, you must import the part numbers, spec code, commodity code, and sizes.
Smart Materials finds the ident from Smart 3D using its part number. When you load Smart 3D’s material take off (MTO) data, Smart Materials finds the ident, which is linked to company ident. Because bolt and gasket do not use part number, Smart Materials finds the ident from the spec code, commodity code, and sizes.

Export the Smart 3D Catalog
Export Smart 3D catalog data on the SP3D 20.01 Export Jobs screen.
On the Selected Sheets tab, the target sheets are 90DegElbow, PipeStock, ReinforcingPad, and WeldneckFlange.
The export is complete.
The exported catalog workbook consist of the following sheets:
90DegElbow

Confirm the Part Number
After catalog data is exported, the Company Ident Codes are generated as part numbers for the components.
This is done for Pipe Part Numbers (as shown below), Flange Part Numbers, and Reinforcing Pad Part Numbers.
