This section contains some design procedures commonly used when performing revamping and retrofitting activities on the Project As-Built model. Before you begin to execute design workflows for a Brownfield project, verify that the following prerequisites exist:
-
The purpose of the Smart 3D model is set to Change Management and the model is registered with SDx. See Create a Smart 3D Change Management model and Register the Change Management model with SDx.
-
A project is allocated to the Change Management model and is set as the active project. See Allocate a change action to the Change Management model and Set the active project.
-
You can only make design changes to objects that are claimed to the active project.
-
Before making any design changes to the Change Mangement model, make sure that you have configured and started the Share Service for the Change Management model. This ensures that any changes you make in the Change Management model are synchronized to SDx. See Define settings for the Share Service.

Modeling and modification capabilities for Smart Interop Objects (SIOs)
The table below summarizes the high-level modeling and modification capabilities associated with Smart Interop Objects (SIOs).
SIO Type |
Modeling/Modification Capabilities |
All SIOs |
|
All Graphic Objects |
|
Equipment SIOs |
|
Piping SIOs |
|
Slab/Wall SIOs |

In modeling workflows where a modification cannot be made to a SIO directly, you must replace the SIO with a native Smart 3D object and perform the modification on the native Smart 3D object. In these instances, the commands listed below are available to assist you:
