Retrieval of the plant break down structure (PBS) is not required in Smart 3D. You can configure plant objects directly in the 3D model without retrieving a PBS document. Directly configure plant objects through the Workspace Explorer or through the Systems and Specifications task in Smart 3D.

When you do not retrieve the PBS document from SmartPlant Foundation (SPF), create a PBS in the 3D model directly. Upon retrieval of the P&ID, the software creates a new system under the plant hierarchy with the name of the retrieved P&ID. All pipelines belonging to the retrieved P&ID are created under the new system. You can then move the pipelines to their needed locations within the existing plant hierarchy.

In subsequent retrievals, the software does not recreate these pipelines and allows you to view and propagate changes at the pipeline level using the Compare Design Basis dialog box. For more information, see Compare Design Basis Command.
