The following steps illustrate how to map PDMS HVAC components to Smart 3D components and fittings. This mapping is required prior to importing PDMS HVAC component data into Smart 3D.
-
Navigate to the [Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\Data\Translators\PDMSS3DImport folder, and open the PDMSS3DImportMapping.xls workbook.
-
Locate the S3DHVACXMLPartTypeMap sheet, and then map the PDMS HVAC GType present in the .datal and .att file to the appropriate Smart 3D value, such as Component or Fitting.
-
Save your changes.
-
Locate the SPREFS3DHVACIdentifierPttrnMap sheet, and then map the PDMS component SPRE values to the relevant Smart 3D HVAC part numbers.
-
Save your changes.
-
Locate the HVACAdditionalAttsMap sheet, and then map any Smart 3D part number additional attributes.
-
Save your changes.
We recommend that you map the Smart 3D duct straight part to PDMS STRT component to create an accurate model in PDMS.
