You can launch Smart Review and view data from SmartPlant Foundation using the following three modes.
By Project
Select a project in SmartPlant Foundation and click the View in SmartPlant Review command to stream the entire project to Smart Review.
-
If Smart Review cannot find a pre-existing project settings database for the incoming model data, the Create Project dialog box displays, asking you where to create the database files. Smart Review then fits the entire model in the Main view.
-
If there is a pre-existing project settings database for the incoming model data, then Smart Review recalls the last saved view and requests data only for that view.
By Object
Select an object in a project in SmartPlant Foundation, and then click the View in SmartPlant Review command. SmartPlant Foundation streams only the selected object to Smart Review, which fits that object to the Main view.
From within SmartPlant Foundation Viewer
Arrange a view of selected project data in SmartPlant Foundation Viewer, and then click SmartPlant Review. SmartPlant Foundation streams only the selected data to Smart Review, which then fits it to the Main view.
-
To maximize system performance when streaming data to Smart Review, especially for larger models, use one of the first two modes above. Using the third mode taxes the system because two separate viewers are running and possibly even two streams of data are being requested from the server at the same time (if the SmartPlant Foundation Viewer has not finished streaming).
