Plant designers use BIM 360 Design to collaborate across project teams in a cloud-based common data environment.
Use in-context AutoCAD commands to make P&ID drafting easier.
The Plant 3D toolset is delivered with standard symbol libraries in the tool palettes. These include PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, and JIS.
Quickly identify possible errors by scanning P&IDs for data consistency according to user-definable rules.
Plant designers use BIM 360 Design to collaborate across project teams in a cloud-based common data environment.
Create and edit equipment using parametric templates to help you build plant layouts faster.
Lay out structures, stairs, ladders, and railings using industry-standard steel sections including AISC, CISC, and DIN.
Customise piping specifications to meet project-specific requirements. Include industry-standard components as well as customised components
Plant designers use BIM 360 Design to collaborate across project teams in a cloud-based common data environment.
Create industry standard/project-standard piping isometric drawings directly from the 3D model.
Define report formats for the project and automatically populate the data directly from the 3D model.
Work with other industry disciplines to create BIM models for the plant.
