PILE LAYOUTS/COORDINATES

NEW USER - I AM USING PLANT 3D - I WANT TO BUILD PILE LAYOUTS / PLOT PLANS BASED ON REAL WORLD COORDINATES . HOW DO I START ? I WANT TO BUILD THE SITE LAYOUT(INCLUDING SEPERATE PILE LAYOUTS ) IN 2D PRIOR TO CREATING PIPING & THEN SHIFT TO 3D FOR ELEVATIONS / FINAL REVIEW ETC..

I HAVE ATTACHED A TYPICAL PLOT /PILE LAYOUT THAT IS ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITIES THAT I WORK ON .

There is a Plant Exchange website that has useful information related to Plant 3D. As you have time I would browser through the site because there is some useful information on the site. One item in particular I would have you look at is the white paper on "How to Manage Large Projects", this is found in the Resources area of the website. The other thing I would recommended is Plant 3D models should be located as close to the 0,0,0 origin as possible. Placing a model away from the 0,0,0 origin has shown to cause some issues with connection visibility and connection issues as well.

If my post answers your question, please mark it as an Accepted Solution, so that others can find answers quickly!

I use Bay lines A & 1 as 0,0,0. Something I don't have to think about.

Xref into the Civil 3D model. Export your Plant 3D model into Civil 3D.
Never got object enabler to work properly, so I just use the Autocad Solids.
