good morning.
I have some equipment in IGS extension. I can not convert perfectly to Plant 3D solids.
as can be done properly to avoid mistakes?
thanks

Can what ever software you used to create the IGS file export to dwg? That would be your best option if you want to use something that has been built in another software.
Hi,
I Exported To DWG but now the Capacity of the File Became 19 MB how i can Uploading To you

This may also help.

If you have the model in dwg format, you can convert it into equipment.
Hi Joaquin,
Do those steps to import the igs-file into your Plant3D-projekt:
Let me know, if this helps.

this Valve Not Equipment, it mean he have to use PLANTPARTCONVERT insted PLANTEQUIPMENTCONVERT

Yes, my mistake, you would use the PLANTPARTCONVERT to create the valve.
Though, I don't recomend this because of the size of the file. It is nice to use components that are already created, but the high level of detail that is usually in those sorts of models will severly affect the performance of Plant. If there is a way for you to shrink wrap it (similar to what Inventor does) out of what ever software it was created in to reduce the file size, that would be highly recommended if you are dead set on using the valve, or just use the valves in the software and adjust it for the appropriate length.
Hi Ahmed,
You are right: this is a valve. Sorry for this misinformation.
So here are the steps for a valve:
Please, let me know if this helps.

After importing the IGS file following the steps stated above, saving the file, it still is at 14Mb. After doing this you can then go through the steps doing the PLANTPARTCONVERT
Are you going to be using this valve multiple times or is it a one time use component. If you are going to be using this valve frequently, you WILL run into model size issues and performance issues. I highly recommend not using this for your modeling and instead build the valve in Plant 3D using existing valve components.
In 2013 you can use the IMPORT command. Just type it in the command line. A browser will pop up. Select IGES for the file type and browse to your igs-file. You don't need here the subscription advantage package.
thank you very much everyone for your answers to my questions.
one more problem that I have taught to solve, one more thing I have learned
