This section provides the workflow for using CloudWorx for SmartPlant Review. For more information on setting up point cloud software in the Smart Review Accessories menu, see View Point Cloud Data.

  1. Click Accessories > Cloudworx > Import Point Cloud Data.

  2. Under Point Sources, click Browse to select your Modelspace view or JetStream data.

  3. Select any required Distance Units and the Coordinate System, and then click OK.

    Smart Review loads the points into the open model.

  4. Click Accessories > Cloudworx > Inquiry and Measurement > Interference Check On. This option must be set for collision detect to work with Cloudworx points.

  5. On the Interference Settings dialog box, make sure the Show Interfering option is selected, and then click OK.

  6. Click Tools > Collision Detection > Edit Collision Sets.

  7. Select the Type Filter tab.

  8. In the Collision set name box, type in a name.

  9. Under Collision types, select Point cloud intersections.

    Selecting this option runs the elements included in the collision set against the entire point cloud data set, rather than running the collision detection set against other model elements. In other words, selecting a single element compares it against the point cloud data, selecting a display set compares the display set elements against the point cloud data, and selecting a static element run compares elements in the chosen range against the point cloud data.

  10. Click the Selection tab.

  11. Select one of the following options, and then click OK:

    • Single graphic object

    • Display sets

    • Stationary collisions in a selected range cube

  12. Click Tools > Collision Detection > Detect Collisions.

  13. Select the collision set name you previously entered.

  14. Select the object to check, and then click Detect.

    • To change the main view to wireframe so that you can better see the collisions with the Cloudworx points, click View > Display > Wireframe.

    • To change the collision detection color and point size (under Cloudworx preferences) so that it stands out more against the point color, click Tools > Collision Detection > Edit Collision Sets. From the Color tab, select a different Default and Intersecting color.

      A record of each collision run is stored in the point cloud software, rather than being stored in the project database. You only see collisions in the Main view. Collision run information is not generated in the Report section of the Detect Collisions dialog box.
