Method for Converting Intergraph SmartPlant 3D to AutoCAD Friendly Format?

[petestrycharske]

All,

I have a user who needs to know if there is anyway to generate outputs from Intergraph SmartPlant 3D that are AutoCAD friendly.  From my internet digging, it sounds like SmartPlant 3D can output models as .DGN.  Can anyone confirm that this is true or recommend a better process for producing outputs from SP 3D that are AutoCAD friendly?  Would really appreciate any assistance or wisdom that anyone can pass my way!  Hope everyone has an awesome and most blessed night!

Peace,

Pete

Export to SAT then inport into AutoCAD then save as a DWG:

Or export a V8 DGN file from SP3D and try to import it with AutoCAD. All you get are graphics though.

Plain AutoCAD is not on par with SP3D.

What software used to export to sat. Currently we can export only to .vue format.

You can export sat files in the Drawing and Reports task.

- 3D-Model Data

- check sat-file Button instead of the vue-Button

- save to disk

btw. there is NO way to export Microstation V8 Models from SP3D.

Microstation J only.

Please can you reupload the youtube video again, since the same is not available now.

Hi

I would like to know how to translate sp3d Model to 3D DGN file V7i??

[stefansikora]

There is no such program as Microstation V7i.

It is either Microstation V7 (aka Microstation J) or Microstation V8i (and lately Microstation C

ONNECT)

Since the introduction of S3D2016 you can also Export to Microstation V8 Format.

In general you have to have Microstation J or Microstation V8i installed on your Workstation.

1. Create a Microstation 3D DGN Component in your Drawing Console

2. Create a Drawing Volume of the part of your plant that you want to export

3. Associate the Drawing Volume to your Microstation 3D DGN Component

4. Create Drawing

5. Chose your Microstation Seed File and the desired Viewstyle for Export

6. Update Drawing
