Select Smart Interop Objects
Specifies which Smart Interop Objects to convert. All three options are selected by default. Clear the check box for any SIO structure you do not want to convert.
Member
Converts SIO members.
Slab
Converts SIO slabs.
Wall
Converts SIO walls.
Parent System
Specifies the parent system for the newly created Smart 3D objects.
Use existing parent
Applies the parent of the selected SIO objects to the converted Smart 3D object.
<Select Interactively>
Enables you to select the parent system from the Workspace Explorer.
More
Opens the Select System Dialog, where you can select the parent system.
Configuration File
Specifies the location for the configuration file. By default, this file is delivered to the [Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\SmartPlantStructure\ConvertSIO folder.
When selected SIO structure objects do not have property values, the software uses the default values contained in the configuration file.
The software uses the optional MasterMapping property if it is in the configuration file. The MasterMapping property specifies the path to an .xml file that contains references to the corresponding mapping files that map external types to Smart 3D values (for example, cross-section, material, composition data, and so forth).
Status
Displays the progress and any messages.
View Log
Displays the log file. This command is not available until the conversion process is complete. The log file contains the information generated during the conversion process. The software saves the log file in your \Temp folder under the name ConversionLog_YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.log.
Close
Closes the dialog. This command is not available during processing.
Convert
Starts the conversion process. When the process completes, the software displays a message box that prompts you to view the log file. Click View Log to open the log file. Click OK to close the message box.
-
The newly created Smart 3D objects display in the same place as the converted SIO objects.
-
The software appends _S3D to the original Smart Interop Object name.
-
Any warnings, errors, or To Do records are written to the conversion log file.
-
You can validate converted native objects using any downstream operations available for standard Smart 3D objects.
