The 3D reader extracts the information contained within the output files obtained from the Smart Interop Publisher (SPIOP) application. Of the output files created by Smart Interop Publisher, Data Capture uses the .zvf and .mdb2 files. The viewable .zvf files are used to view the information with SmartPlant Markup, can use the 3D Pre-Processor module to extract the content from the .mdb2 files into XML files. Data Capture can then extract tags from those XML files.

The <File Name with extension>_GraphicsMapFile.xml (graphics map file) and <File Name with extension>_ContentFile.xml (content file) files generated from processing the .mdb2 files with the 3D Pre-Processor are placed in the PreProcessedContentFiles folder.

The Extract Content workflow step reads the files available in the PreProcessedContentFiles folder, then attaches the <File Name with extension>_GraphicsMapFile.xml (graphics map file) and <File Name with extension>_ContentFile.xml (content file) to the viewable .zvf file. The Extract Data workflow step then extracts the tags from the <File Name with extension>_ContentFile.xml file.

  • For models that originated from a Smart 3D model, the .xrg (range) file needs to be copied to the native folder location which has .zvf and .mdb2 files. This file is processed by the 3D Pre-Processor module to extract the range information of a tag. The content discovery task will add the range information of the content file as tag properties.

  • The types of tags that are extracted from the model are controlled by the class definitions and Moniker IDs which are defined in the template.

  • While extracting content from documents of drawing files and 3D models, a drawing representation object is created for each tag based on the Graphic OID property value in GraphicsMapFile.xml. The GraphicsMapFile.xml has the information for graphical navigation such as the corresponding InterfaceDefs, as well as all tag UIDs and Graphic OIDs for the document. The drawing representation object is related to the respective document and tag.

  • The drawing representation objects are specifically used for graphical navigation in the Web Client.
