Translate and export - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

Smart Interop Publisher supports non-Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence format targets. You can translate your data using the Smart Interop Publisher schema, and then Smart Interop Publisher exports the data to the selected format schema. This allows you to open the resulting Smart Model files with your preferred third-party tools to manage various building and model projects.

• You must have a Smart Interop Publisher translation license (SRP) and a format-specific license (such as IFC) for the selected target format and export settings to take effect. For MCAD file translation, you must have an MCD license and a format-specific license.

• The export to the Industry Foundation Class target does not support SmartSketch (.igr) and SmartPlant P&ID (.pid) source file formats.
