An isometric drawing usually consists of a number of parts that are physically connected so that they form a network such as a pipe run, pipeline or spool, or cableway. It is possible to create several other types of drawings using the Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Drawing Class and the Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Sort Input Parts option settings in Isogen Configuration.

Disconnected Section Drawings

If the parts that make up a drawing consist of several networks of connected parts, you can set Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Sort Input Parts to Connected Sets in the isometric style to enable support for multiple connected networks in the same drawing. Each network produces output as though it was in its own drawing, but the output is collected into the same drawing file.

The example below shows a single pipeline that consists of two networks.

The resulting drawing looks like example below:

Sheet1

Sheet2

By default, each section is given a pipeline reference as normal. If any duplicates are created, then a number is appended to make the references unique.

Multi-Pipeline Drawings

If the parts that make up a drawing consist of more than one pipeline, you can set Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Sort Input Parts to Pipeline in the isometric style to enable support for a multi-pipeline drawing. Each pipeline outputs in a single drawing file as a disconnected section with its own pipeline reference. This is useful for groups of related pipelines that are not connected, such as the equipment trim.

System Drawings

If the parts that generate the drawing consist of more than one pipeline and they are connected as a single network, you can set Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Drawing Class to System in the isometric style to create an Isogen system drawing. Any boundaries between the pipelines in the system are indicated on the drawing.

If Smart 3D.Drawing Creation.Overview.Drawing Class is set to System, the software ignores the Sort Input Parts setting.

The example below shows a drawing of the following pipelines SimpleSystem – Pipeline 1 and SimpleSystem – Pipeline 2 using a WBS Item called VerySimpleSystem.

The resulting drawing looks like following example:
