[Ahmed1081975]

Hi Autodesk Support,

In the Uk & AWAW ductile iron content catalog  there are missing very important fittings watch is must using for any project using ductile iron pipe, please without those missing fittings can’t using ductile iron pipe in Plant 3D, for more clarification of the missing fittings please refer the attached file.

Hi Ahmed,

You can request additional content here:

PLANT - Request a Content Pack

In the meantime you will need to create the content using the AutoCAD Plant 3D Spec Editor 2013 and/or the AutoCAD Plant 3D Catalog Builder.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

First:

my issue not additional it's uncompleted catalog there are no project in the world did not using those missing fittings it's must with ductile iron,

 Second:

 You ask me to make anew catalog. so where is the base to do that for missing fittings I understand you ask me to draw all those by 3d model then converting, this is the logic way??

Hi Ahmed,

Unfortunately it is not really possible to have every possible component within a catalog and some will need to be created. 

With regard to creation, you can either model the fittings or use a standard parametric shape.

Thanks,

Dear Dan,

Thanks for your reply; can you please inform me how can I use the parametric fitting from existing catalog?  Did you see me attached file in the previous?  Because I don’t think so we have even near those fitting in the existing catalog, please have a look and back to me please

Hi Ahmed,

Using the parametric fitting option won't give a true representation of the fitting, but it could be used to indicate the type of fitting.

If you need the part to look as it really does then you will need to create the parts from AutoCAD solids.

Thanks,
Dan
