Reducer definition in Catalog Builder

[samsonthomas7606]

Hello Friends

Anybody tried creating catalog with  concentric or eccentric reducer?

Currently when I create catalog with reducer, there is only option of 1 size reduction. Is there any other better way to define reducers? 

When I try to use this fitting in model the size show up as 2" instead of 2"x1-1/2" 

Same thing apply to reducing tees.

Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at the AutoCAD Plant 3D Catalog Builder Hands-On Lab? There is a section that steps you through creating a Concentric Reducer. Please refer to this and there might be something in the steps you did not include.

Hi Quentin,

I've looked at the reference of the AutoCAD Plant 3D Catalog Builder Hands-On Lab.

However, what do we do with the SizeRecordID_S1 and SizeRecordID_S2 values. I am using Plant 3D 2018 and when I export to Excel these two columns are filled in, unlike the Hands-on lab where no value is assigned.

Your assistance in this regard would be much appreciated.

Regards,
