The S3DMechanicalEQP sheet in the EQPTranslationMap.xls Microsoft Excel workbook maps mechanical equipment defined in the XML file to Smart 3D mechanical equipment.
Item Name in XML - Enter the XML equipment item name to map.
S3D Part Class - Enter the Smart 3D part class name to which to map the XML item name.
S3D Part Number - Enter the Smart 3D part number to which to map the XML item name.
Attribute Mapping Sheet - Enter the workbook sheet name in this workbook that maps the XML part number attributes to the Smart 3D part number attributes. You should use the Template-AttMap-Sheet as the template when creating these attribute mapping sheets.
Adjustment Rotation Matrix - Specify the adjustment rotation to apply on the XML item's orientation to make it the equivalent Smart 3D orientation after placement if there is a coordinate system difference between the XML item and the Smart 3D part. You can leave this field blank if there is no coordinate system difference. Verify that the data specified is correct. Invalid data might cause unexpected results.
For example, consider that the XML parametric of equipment E215 in its native application is defined with a local Coordinate system as [0,0,1] [1,0,0] [0,1,0], that is X-UP, Y- East, and Z-North. Whereas the Smart 3D equivalent part has its symbol code based on a local coordinate system of [1,0,0] [0,1,0] [0,0,1], that is X-East, Y-North, and Z-UP. For this E215 case, you can specify an Adjustment Rotation Matrix which when applied on the input orientation (from the XML file) would give the output orientation to use (in Smart 3D symbol). Therefore, by specifying the Adjustment Rotation Matrix as [0,1,0] [0,0,-1] [-1,0,0] you can get the equivalent part orientation.
