You can use the default mapping provided with Smart Interop Publisher, or you can choose to include new classes and properties, map any unmapped properties that you have added, and define unit of measure strings for property values using the customPDMSToR3DMapping.xls mapping template files.

  • The default object type is PIPE, which causes Smart Interop Publisher to treat all object type specs as PIPE unless you specify your HVAC, cable tray, and conduit types contained in the .att file. To define the HVAC, cable tray, and conduit specs, go to the PDMS options in the Translation Settings for your project. See Define Translation Settings and PDMS options.

  • You can map codelist values to Smart 3D EndPrep and Pressure Rating port properties using the PipingPortEndConnectionTable sheet in the default and custom PDMS mapping sheets. For workflow information, see Custom map PDMS port properties.

  • Map the PDMS pipes to the corresponding HVAC, Cable tray, and Conduit classes of the Smart 3D reference data with types provided for different pipe disciplines. For example, you can map the ELEC pipe type to R3DCableTray class.

  • Primitives of pipe have the parent pipe attributes. The name of the pipe primitive would have its parent name appended, such as in HVAC PRIMITIVE.

  • Pipe component type names use the parent type as the suffix. For example, a new type for Branch (BRAN) of a pipe is PIPEBRAN. For an Elbow, the type name is PIPEELBO, and for Pipe primitives the type is PIPEPART, HVACPART. You can map these pipe components in Smart 3D reference data with the types that are provided. For example, you can map HVACNOZZ to the R3DHVACNozzle class, and map ELECPART to the R3DCableTrayComponent class.

  1. Review the PDMSToR3DMapping.xls default mapping file to see the classes and properties that are currently mapped.

  2. In the CustomMappingFiles folder, make a copy of the customPDMSToR3DMapping.xls file and place it in another location.

  3. Edit the custom mapping file to modify property labels or add classes and properties. See Edit the custom mapping template file in the Smart Interop Publisher Help.

    SHARED Tip To display unit strings such as 'meters' or 'inches' with specific property values in the translated model, you can define the Units G column in the custom mapping file. See Set the units of measure (UoM) in custom mapping.

  4. To set up custom mapping for a third-party format target such as Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), you must also create Hexagon schema (R3D)-to-IFC mapping. See Use custom mapping for third-party format targets.
