Hi to all,
I have one question regarding to 3-way valve actuator orientation on isometric, its look like that plant 3d doesn't know where/position is/off the actuator (is it up down/north/west....).
also important information about version
So,
if I create 3-way valve and put hand wheel on this valve
and if i take a look on iso
orientation of hand wheel is completely wrong...
Please find in attachment gif of these problem.
so if anyone have these weird behavior please participate/help to this topic...

Please select the Part Type "Valve Body" and then try to generate isometrice.

Hello
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem when I create a 3 Way valve as a custom part. In this case there is no possibility to add it as a valvebody instead of a valve.
Update: The solution for me is to change the type to TYPE=VALVE-3WAY.
Kind regards,
Hi Sarina,
Its a really old post but tnx for interest.
You can find better analyze and some conclusion here

As a solution for this topic can be to use for 3-Way valve the procedure for Multiport valves instead of the procedure for 3-way valves. Try next for 3-way valve:
Iso Symbol Type = VALVE-MULTIWAY
Iso Symbol Skey = MD??
(MDSC, MDFL etc.)
But, by default is the actuator NOT shown.
If you need actuator, you must edit IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml, find next row:
However, I found, that the actuator was wrong directed in some cases in the ISO. You can try to change the actuator direction in the block MPVActuator to Z direction. Edit Block "MPVActuator", rotate graphic around X axis, so finally the actuator will be in the direction of axis Z. This was solution for me, but, it maybe not works for 100% cases.
If someone will have better idea, I welcome your suggestions. Thank you.
Above steps are only workaround for me, maybe you find better.
Love Plant3D
