4-port valve to ISO

[tmccar]

Can the attached valve (with 2X2 "stacked" ports) be represented in ISO? I would like to be able to do all the combinations of flow - straight through from Port 1 to Port 2, or from Port 1 to Port 4 and so on.

   What is the best way to achieved this in P3D?

The isogen can not handle well the multiple port valves properly (more than two ports) unless the ports point against eachother in a valve.

The ports should cross each other in one point and perpendicular to each other.

If the port centerlines does not come together in one point, the iso generator will not put properly the symbol.

You can see the iso centerline when you select in the 3D model a component. And the centerlines do not intersect eachother in the valve.

Unfortunately I do not know the solution for that problem.

I think it is a isogen issue and has to be developed in the future.

Hi Attila!
we had isogen before we start working with Plant 3D. there was a ""VALVE-Multiway" PCF-Identification which did it right. is it possible to create a valve that works? thanks for your info!
