P&ID Documents

After retrieving, you can use the View P&ID command and the P&ID Viewer to review data that requires attention. Any items that need to be addressed appear in green, red, and purple in the P&ID Viewer. For more information about colors, see Set Correlation Status Colors Dialog Box.

You can use the Compare Design Basis command to see property differences. For example, if you have custom equipment in your model, you may need to modify select list values in the Custom Equipment reference data. You may have to perform routing tasks from the P&ID and place inline components and instruments. Refer to task-related documentation for assistance in correcting data from the P&ID.

To allow the placement of piping components from a retrieved P&ID, you must specify the value SmartPlant 3D for the Use Piping Specification property in SmartPlant P&ID Options Manager.

Electrical Documents

After retrieving, you can use the View Cable Schedule command to review and update the cables. For more information, see View Cable Schedule (see View Cable Schedule ).
