: This tool allows you to create piping centerlines directly from cylindrical elements within laser-scanned point clouds, making as-built modeling for upgrade projects much faster.
This feature allows designers to work more efficiently across geographically dispersed teams by managing the entire project database in a centralized environment. AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016 for Designers
: Designers can attach Navisworks models directly into AutoCAD to check for design clashes and snap to geometry while routing pipes. : This tool allows you to create piping
: Designers can add reference dimensions to 3D models (such as beam centerlines or floor elevations) that automatically appear in the generated isometric drawings. Autodesk Unveils Plant Design Suite 2016 - In the Pipes : Designers can add reference dimensions to 3D
Beyond Vault integration, the 2016 version introduced tools to improve as-built modeling and cross-platform workflows:
: By unifying project administration, it helps reduce the time spent on manual file management and improves overall project oversight. Other Noteworthy 2016 Features
: Introduced in Extension 1, this added parametric shapes like stiffening rings, skirts, platforms, and lugs to existing equipment models.
