You can use external data sources, such as a database, to create filters for use in 3D models and 2D drawings in Smart Construction projects. This feature provides direct integration between your existing systems and Smart Construction.

Configuring external data filters is a multi-step process consisting of setting up an external data filter connection, setting up an external data filter query, and creating an external data filter object in SmartPlant Foundation. The data filter object in SmartPlant Foundation uses the connection information and query to set up and map a structure between the external data and the object properties as published to the Smart Construction server.

You can configure filters for numeric values by adding a tilde and a UoM after the numeric value. For example, 3~in. The filtered object must exist in SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client.
