The following diagram illustrates one way data can be loaded into Smart Construction with fabrication modifications. In this example, engineering uses Smart 3D to create design data to send to fabrication. Fabrication uses SmartPlant Spoolgen to modify the design data. For a more detailed explanation of how to get modified spool drawings into Smart Construction, see the SmartPlant Enterprise Integration Capability Statements Creating Pipe Spools for Procurement, Fabrication, and Construction.

  1. Engineering creates data in Smart 3D. A model is generated with spools, along with isometric drawings. This data is published to the construction site's data warehouse in SmartPlant Foundation. Piping component files (PCFs) are saved from ISO drawings.

  2. Engineering sends the PCFs to fabrication.

  3. Fabrication imports the PCFs into SmartPlant Spoolgen.

  4. Fabrication reviews the PCFs, comparing the as-designed data with how it will be fabricated, and recommends modifications.

  5. If required, fabrication modifies the PCFs, using SmartPlant Spoolgen. In most cases, only a small portion of drawings is modified.

    Smart Construction Hotfix 14 requires SmartPlant Spoolgen for this work process.

  6. Fabrication generates new spool drawings from SmartPlant Spoolgen to the construction project's data warehouse in SmartPlant Foundation.

    The spool drawing should be named the same as the one originally published from Smart 3D.

    SHARED Tip To better identify your drawings in Smart Construction, select the Display drawing type beside drawing name? system option. For more information, see Configure and update system settings for Smart Construction.

  7. Construction retrieves data in Smart Construction. For more information on retrieving data in Smart Construction, see Retrieve data. If data was previously retrieved in Smart Construction, the new fabrication data supersedes the existing data.

    Before data can be retrieved into Smart Construction, administrators can configure the SPCRetrieveMappings.xlsm workbook for fabrication data. For more information, see Specify whether a component based on a class definition is replaced by fabrication.

    Administrators can also copy properties from one component to another. For example, engineering properties can be copied to a component modified by fabrication. For more information, see Copy properties between a replaced component and a replacement component.
