Tech Nexus – CAD and BIM Solutions
So a question came up on the Autodesk forums about creating Equipment Templates. If you weren’t aware, you can save the settings of your Equipment to a file and then re-use that information for future Equipment.
Today’s video is in response to a question that came about from a previous YouTube video. We walk through how to add branches to the branch table in a Plant3D Spec. If you don’t add anything to them, Plant won’t know what to do at a branch, so they’re super important!
Last week Autodesk released Plant3D 2021, which now gives us the ability to collaborate our Plant projects in the (Autodesk) Cloud. You will need a subscription to BIM 360 Design for all of it to work though. Check out how to setup the project in our YouTube video below
If you’re using Recap on a Plant3D Project and don’t have the ability to use a third party package to find the centreline of pipe, you can do it from AutoCAD itself
There’ll come a time when you need to add some Location Points to your Isometrics in Plant3D, and this is how you do that.
This week its all about Plant3D Isometrics. Lets look at how to put in manual breaks so you can issue neat Iso’s to the fabricators
So I’m not a massive fan of messing about with the UCS in Plant3D, so check out the video on other ways to spin the connections around, and why I’m not a fan
And the last for the week, laying down some Valves and Instrumentation…
Today, the 4th in our series this week, we lay down some pipelines on our P&ID’s
This week its all about the P&ID’s! Lets create a new project, and look at some of the background settings.
