Sets options for the 3D Model Data component. You access this dialog box when you right-click a 3D Model Data component and select Setup on the shortcut menu.

Filter

Identifies the filter to use to define the objects to include in the component definition. The filter needs to be specific to the objects that you want to publish or to save to a SmartPlant Review file.

You do not need to define the workspace to contain all the objects required by the 3D Model Data filter subset.

Options

Specifies how the 3D Model Data is saved. The setup for your 3D Model Data component is different depending on whether or not you are registered to work in an integrated environment.

Generate SmartPlant Review output (.vue file)

Indicates that you want the 3D Model Data saved as a SmartPlant Review .vue file.

Generate streaming vue output (.zvf file)

Indicates that you want the 3D Model Data saved as a .zvf file in addition to a .vue file. Check this option if you intend to attach this data as a reference to another plant. The .zvf format allows you to attach this plant data as a reference to another plant using Reference 3D functionality.

Generate CAD output (.sat file)

Indicates that you want the 3D Model Data saved as an SAT graphics file.

Disk only (do not save to database)

Specifies how the graphics and/or data files are saved:

  • Select Disk only (do not save to database) to save the files only to the specified path. You can then update and publish the .vue or .zvf file to SmartPlant Foundation from the designated locations.

  • Clear the Disk only (do not save to database) and do not specify output paths for the data to only be saved to the database.

  • Clear the Disk only (do not save to database) and specify the output paths to save the data to the database and as files to the specified paths.

You can change this option at any time during your work so that you can determine the best save and publish options for your specific environment.

Path to save graphics file

Specifies the file to which the graphics for the 3D Model Data will be saved. Click the ellipsis button to browse for the correct file.

Path to save data file

Specifies the file to which the data will be saved. Click the ellipsis button to browse for the correct file. This box is automatically populated, and the ellipsis button does not display when you specify a .vue file. For example, if you specify C:\temp\tpjtest.vue in the Path to save graphics file box, then the Path to save data file box automatically displays C:\temp\tpjtest.xml.

  • You can publish .zvf files and launch SmartPlant Review to view the .zvf files from within SmartPlant Foundation. You do not have to use the Save as SmartPlant Review command to use the SmartPlant Review features. For more information on publishing, see Publish.

  • For more information about the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, see Working in an Integrated Environment in the Intergraph Smart 3D Installation.
