PIPES 2" AND UNDER

tbnorris — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:12:09 GMT

Just started using Navis 2019 and all my fittings 2" and under imported from the Plant 3 Dare showing up wireframe. The piping appears like it is suppose to. It doesn't matter if its an nwc nwd dwg. The welded piping shows up just fine.

I have the latest object enablers loaded. Is there a setting I'm missing. See example below

Need suggestions.

Thanks

May need to Re-install the Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D 2019 Object Enabler.

It may also help to increase the “Faceting Factor” in Options>File Readers>DWG/DXF to 2 or even 3. See DWG Page

Also, in Options>File Readers>DWG/DXF change “Render Type” to Shaded

And if needed, check the Plant 3D model to see if it's in large coordinates. In the World Coordinate system, how far is the model from the 0,0,0 origin point? It may be a matter of moving the model element close to origin point. See Errors or performance issues when working with objects in large coordinate space

I'm glad you were able to get this working by re-installing the Plant 3D 2019 Object Enabler. The installation of the P3D OE can be fussy. Sometimes it seems to indicate it's already installed, but it's just not working (as shown in the "Scene Statistics" in Navisworks). Unintall / Reinstall often does the job.
