Description

AutoCAD includes the 2022 Plant 3D toolset, which allows users to design and modify P&IDs, build 3D models, and generate piping orthographics and isometrics using specialized tools tailored for plant design. This toolset facilitates collaboration among project teams, ensuring compliance with industry standards while operating within a cloud-based common data environment. Standard symbol libraries, such as PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, and JIS, are readily available in the tool palettes for efficient usage. Users can easily detect potential errors by analyzing P&IDs for data consistency based on customizable rules. Moreover, the tool enables rapid creation of 3D plant models utilizing parametric equipment modeling, structural steel libraries, and project-specific piping specifications derived from established piping catalogs. As the 3D model evolves, users can directly extract and update piping orthographic drawings, ensuring that all representations remain accurate. Additionally, collaboration with different industry disciplines is essential for generating comprehensive BIM models for plant projects, enhancing overall project efficiency and accuracy.

Description

Isogen® stands as the premier solution globally for fully automating the production of piping isometric drawings and represents the standard system for generating such drawings within Hexagon PPM. It is integrated with various software systems including Intergraph Smart® 3D, PDS®, CADWorx®, CAESAR II®, Intergraph Spoolgen®, and Intergraph Smart Isometrics. Additionally, Isogen enjoys support from all prominent piping design software vendors, who typically either include Isogen with their offerings or facilitate the output of one of the two associated data files: the PCF or the legacy IDF. By removing the necessity for manual adjustments to isometric drawings, Isogen significantly minimizes errors that could arise during fabrication and on-site construction. Furthermore, it guarantees consistent drawing content through isometric repeatability, ensuring that the quantity of drawings, essential content, and spool and weld numbers adhere to uniformity even when there are changes in pipe design. This level of reliability fosters not only efficiency but also enhances collaboration among project teams.
