You can translate .vue files from Smart 3D so that each property label display is converted to a standard one for all target applications. You can translate a .vue file from Smart 3D that represents a portion of a plant and then insert it into another Smart 3D model as 3D reference data.
For your Smart 3D source files, you must set up a 3D Model Data component and then use the Save as SmartPlant Review command in the Smart 3D Drawings and Reports task to generate the .vue and .xml source file for Smart Interop Publisher. You can also use SPRDirect to generate .vue files. See Translate .vue files from SPRDirect.
The following information provides the requirements and basic steps in going from Smart 3D to Smart Interop Publisher. The Help topics that correspond to the step are also listed.
Smart 3D
-
Define a workspace in Smart 3D.
-
Create a 3D Model Data component. When you create this component:
-
Create filters that specify the objects required for your output .vue file.
-
Right-click the component and select Properties. Then go to the Style Tab (Properties Dialog) to make sure the Coordinate System property is set appropriately so that the software passes the Plant Monument Coordinate Offset correctly to the .vue file.
-
Set any required surface styles rules and aspects.
-
Set the locations for the .vue and .xml files.
-
-
Select the Generate SmartPlant Review output (.vue file) option.
See the Setup Command in the Smart 3D Intergration Help.
-
Review the property data listed in the P3DComponent.xml file. The P3DComponent.xml file contains the data schema in the generated .xml file. If you added custom classes or properties, use the Smart 3D Schema Editor to validate that the data conforms to the SmartPlant schema. See Validate Schemas in the SmartPlant Schema Editor User's Guide.
Custom Mapping (Optional)
You can include new classes and properties, map any unmapped properties that you have
added, and define unit of measure strings for property values using the customP3DToR3DMapping.xls
mapping template files.
-or-
Skip this section and use the default mapping provided with Smart Interop Publisher.
-
Review the P3DToR3DMapping.xls default mapping file to see the classes and properties that are currently mapped.
-
From the CustomMappingFiles folder, make a copy of the customP3DToR3DMapping.xls file and place it in another location.
-
Edit the custom mapping file to either modify property labels or add classes and properties. See Edit the custom mapping template file. For publishing with custom codelist tables to SDx, you can map custom SPF codelist table numbers to Smart InterOp (SIO) codelist number. See Map Custom Smart 3D Codelist Table Numbers.
Smart Interop Publisher removes any colons placed inside a property name during translation. For example,
if you enter Net:Area for the property name, the resulting translation displays NetArea.
Translation
-
Click the Smart Interop Publisher icon on your desktop
.
-OR-
Click Start > All Programs > Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher. -
If you are not in the Projects view, click Projects.
-
Select or create a project to use in the grid.
-
Right-click the project, and then select Settings Menu > Project Settings Command.
-
Use the default settings, or make any required changes.
-
For Target Applications, select the Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence applications and third-party format to use. If you select a third-party format, verify that you have the required license. For example, you must have an IFC license to use the Industry Foundation Classes target.
Selecting only the target applications you require can produce a faster translation
time. Smart Interop Publisher only generates files required for the selected target.
-
(Optional) For measurements to be consistent in a Smart Model containing 3D Model Data, select the Advanced option Support SPF Composite model creation with S3D documents. This option allows Smart Interop Publisher to adapt the measurements in the Smart Model to match the measurements in 3D Model Data published from Smart 3D. You can then combine them to create composite documents in SmartPlant Foundation.
-
Save your project settings, and then right-click on the project to select Settings > Translation. Smart Interop Publisher displays the Translation Settings Dialog.
-
Click New in the Select or Create Settings Group list, and type the name to use.
-OR-
Edit the Default translation settings group.
-
Click Smart 3D in the left-hand side of the dialog.
-
For Schema, select the folder containing the P3DComponent.xml file that is associated to the generated .vue file. The software uses this file to obtain the property definitions and to decipher the contents of the label files published from Smart 3D.
-
If you edited the MapClassIdToLevelDisciplines.txt and RelationshipMapping.txt configuration files, browse to select their locations.
-
For translation to Portal target applications, you can select one or more pre-defined Smart 3D aspects for data translation. By default, Smart Interop Publisher selects and translates all aspects from Smart 3D source files for review in a Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence Portal application.
-
Save your translation settings.
-
Click Models to go back to the Models View.
-
On the Source Files Grid, click Add
, and then select the .vue file.
-
Select each source file to use in creating the Smart Model, and then click Translate
.
Use SHIFT+ or CTRL+ key combinations to select multiple source files.
-
On the Translate Source File Dialog, type a name and location for the Smart Model. Define the translation options as required.
-
Click Translate.
-OR-
To schedule the translation for a later time, click Schedule to open the Schedule Translate Dialog. -
Open the Smart Models you created in the Intergraph target applications:
-
If you selected a non-Intergraph format target, open the model format file using your preferred third-party reader. For example, if you selected the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format target, use your own IFC reader to review the resulting Smart Model .ifc file.
