: Designers can add reference dimensions to 3D models (such as beam centerlines or floor elevations) that automatically appear in the generated isometric drawings. Autodesk Unveils Plant Design Suite 2016 - In the Pipes
Beyond Vault integration, the 2016 version introduced tools to improve as-built modeling and cross-platform workflows:
: Introduced in Extension 1, this added parametric shapes like stiffening rings, skirts, platforms, and lugs to existing equipment models.
A standout feature in is its tight integration with Autodesk Vault , which was significantly enhanced in this release to streamline project collaboration. Key Capabilities of Autodesk Vault Integration
: Vault manages all critical project files, including 3D models, piping specifications, catalogs, and related documentation.
: It supports both Vault replication and the replication of the plant project database, facilitating teamwork across multiple office locations.
This feature allows designers to work more efficiently across geographically dispersed teams by managing the entire project database in a centralized environment.
: This tool allows you to create piping centerlines directly from cylindrical elements within laser-scanned point clouds, making as-built modeling for upgrade projects much faster.
