The PDS-EQP-Parametrics sheet in the EQPTranslationMap.xls Microsoft Excel workbook maps PDS parametric equipment defined in the XML file to Smart 3D parametric equipment.

Item Name in XML - Enter the XML equipment item name to map.

S3D Part Class - Enter the Smart 3D part class name to which to map the XML item name.

S3D Part Number - Enter the Smart 3D part number to which to map the XML item name.

Attribute Mapping Sheet - Enter the workbook sheet name in this workbook that maps the XML part number attributes to the Smart 3D part number attributes. You should use the Template-AttMap-Sheet as the template when creating these attribute mapping sheets.

Sub Mapping Sheet - If more than one Smart 3D can be mapped to this XML parametric, then you must specify the corresponding Sub Mapping Sheet in this field. You can leave this field blank if only one Smart 3D is mapped to the parametric. However, if the field is not blank, then the data specified on this sheet and that corresponds to the mapped parametric is ignored. Instead, the software only considers the data specified in the corresponding SubMap sheet.

The software uses the text value in this field and not the sheet that the hyperlink points to.

Type - Fill in this field with Type information, such as Shape, Piping_Nozzle, Elbow_Piping_Nozzle, or CatalogEquipment. However, you may type this information in the field only if the software imports the PDS parametric as an equivalent Smart 3D shape, nozzle, or catalog equipment. Alternately, if you leave this field blank, then the software considers the PDS parametric as normal.

The Type field can also take the same values as the Type column, located on the ShapesAndNozzles sheet.

Adjustment Rotation Matrix - Specify the adjustment rotation to apply on the XML item's orientation to make it the equivalent Smart 3D orientation after placement if there is a coordinate system difference between the XML item and the Smart 3D part. You can leave this field blank if there is no coordinate system difference. Verify that the data specified is correct. Invalid data might cause unexpected results.

For example, consider that the XML parametric of equipment E215 in its native application is defined with a local Coordinate system as [0,0,1] [1,0,0] [0,1,0], that is X-UP, Y- East, and Z-North. Whereas the Smart 3D equivalent part has its symbol code based on a local coordinate system of [1,0,0] [0,1,0] [0,0,1], that is X-East, Y-North, and Z-UP. For this E215 case, you can specify an Adjustment Rotation Matrix which when applied on the input orientation (from the XML file) would give the output orientation to use (in Smart 3D symbol). Therefore, by specifying the Adjustment Rotation Matrix as [0,1,0] [0,0,-1] [-1,0,0] you can get the equivalent part orientation.
