Before you can use the Save as SmartPlant Review command, you must install the SmartPlant Schema Component on the local client machine. See the Intergraph Smart 3D Installation Help. The Save as SmartPlant Review command also looks for the EFSchema file (P3DComponent.xml). If your model has been registered using the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, the software retrieves the file from the integrated environment. If your model has not been registered using the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, the software looks for the file in the SharedContent share.

The Save as SmartPlant Review command is available on the right-click menu for the 3D Model Data documents when they are set up to save as a Smart Review file. See Set up a 3D Model Data component.

Recommendations for Exporting to Smart Review

  • The number of objects generated by a 3D Model Data component and exported successfully to a Smart Review file depends largely on the type of objects and your hardware resources. We recommend you limit each 3D Model Data component filter to approximately 30,000 objects if using Smart 3D version 6.1 Service Pack 1 or later (approximately 20,000 objects is using an earlier version).

  • Monitor the error logs regularly for resource issues, even if the specified filter worked initially. You can add more objects to the model meeting the filter criteria.

  • Smart Review allows you to open multiple VUE files simultaneously. Refer to your Smart Review documentation for more information. When you open VUE and XML files in Smart Review for the first time, Smart Review builds a database containing the tag information for the files. This process may take a significant amount of time. After the multiple VUE files are opened in Smart Review, you can create SVF files for future loading of VUE files.

  • Smart Review supports turning Smart 3D aspects on and off. All aspects are turned on by default in Smart Review. The SPRSchema.txt file can be customized to add aspects.

The 3D View Control used for viewing the published graphics in SmartPlant Markup Plus does not currently support turning aspects on and off.

  1. Before you save your 3D Model Data component documents as Smart Review files, right-click the component and select Properties and go to the Style tab to make sure the Coordinate System property is set appropriately so that the Plant Monument Coordinate Offset is passed correctly to Smart Review when creating the VUE file. This is because Smart Review shows the objects from the VUE file using global coordinates. The offset value allows you to see the original coordinates relative to the new Smart Review coordinate system. See Save as SmartPlant Review File.

  2. You should also make sure that the Surface Styles and Aspects properties are set correctly on the 3D Model Data documents before saving them for viewing in Smart Review. See Set surface styles and aspects for 3D model data documents.

  3. Right-click an up-to-date 3D Model Data document and select Save As SmartPlant Review.

  4. On theSave as SmartPlant Review Dialog, specify a property data file. This file will be an XML format file.

  5. Specify a graphics file. This file will be a VUE format file (.vue). Click OK.
