Smart Isometrics Material Editor provides a single environment in which you can create, edit, and manage the reference data, such as material data files, catalogs, and piping specifications, used by Intergraph Smart Isometrics. Material Editor also enables you to customize the additional material, bolts, coupling, supports, and welds that you can add to a pipeline in Intergraph Spoolgen prior to producing spool sheets and isometric drawings for fabrication and construction.

A catalog or a piping specification consists of a database of various component types, including pipes, bolts, gaskets, fittings (such as elbows, tees, and reducers), and piping components (such as flanges). Moreover, the database contains detailed size information about each component, such as bores and dimensions. The database also contains information regarding component weight and end type. Using Material Editor, you can generate material and other associated data files that contain all the dimensional and descriptive information needed for pipe design and isometric drawing and report production for the procurement of materials for fabrication of pipe spools in the workshop and erection of piping on-site.

While the number of components included in a typical specification can number in the hundreds, or even thousands, a catalog is much larger, with the number of individual components numbering several thousand. You can think of a specification as a subset of all the components in a catalog. Whereas the catalog includes all the components that you can use at any given time, the specification includes only those components that you can use in a project.
