This exercise shows how to map a PDS 3D custom property so that it can be translated by Smart Interop Publisher and then converted to a Smart Interop Object for import into Smart 3D. You will see how to create both a new PDS 3D property and a new interface to which the custom property matches and can be mapped. The workflow below uses an example custom piping segment property called process_code. You can replace process_code with your own custom property and use the steps as a guideline to map your custom property to an existing PDS 3D interface or to a new interface.

About this Exercise

Key components and information used in the example include:

  • PDS custom property name: process_code (for a piping segment - string data type)

  • New mapped property name in PDS 3D schema: Process_Code

  • New interface name in PDS 3D schema: IRunCustomProperties

  • Applications: PDS, Smart Interop Publisher, SmartPlant Schema Editor, Smart 3D Generate Smart Interop Object Utility

  • Spreadsheets and schema files:

    • PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml and PDSComponent.xml - delivered with PDS in the config folder under the PD_Shell installation folder. The PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml schema file replicates the PDS schema in an .xml format. The PDS 3D project creation software copies these files into the project folder for any new projects. Make sure these files are in your PDS project folder. Also, the delivered .xls files allow you to set measurements,

    • CustomPDStoR3DMapping.xls - delivered with Smart Interop Publisher.

Before You Begin

  1. Create a project in PDS containing the model and any custom properties to export to Smart 3D.

  2. Copy the PDS3DToolMapSchema.xml, PDSComponent.xml, and required measurement spreadsheet files to your project config folder. See Set up the Project and Data.

  3. Set up the Share Service Utility.

Process Summary

The mapping workflow can be organized into the following main steps:

  1. Map the custom property to the PDS 3D schema (exercise).

  2. Export the PDS model (exercise).

  3. Map and translate with Smart Interop Publisher (exercise).

  4. Generate the SIO and Import (exercise).
