Response: AVEVA E3D Draw, uses two types of elements to differentiate elements in different layers, these two types of layers, called LAYER and Visual LAYER (VLAYER), oHave very distinct properties.


Response: LAYER-type elements are native to PDMS and not E3D. Allowing you to order 2D elements in aVIEW, they appear in the following form in the hierarchy: Each of these LAYERs has a PURPOSE attribute that allows you to define the function of each of them; for example, the PURPOSE attribute filled in DIMA, allows you to Define a quotation layer (DImensionning), a LAYER whose PURPOSE is entered in LABA, allows you to define an element tracking layer (Labelling) and A LAYER whose PURPOSE is entered at NOTA, allows you to define a layer of annotations (2D Draughting) For more informationNs see ADMIN > System Defaults > Layer Purpose Definitions... in Administrator session LAYERs are defined under the hierarchy of a VIEW and are totally linked to it (position of the elements, dimensions, scale,...)


Response: Elements of type VISUAL LAYER, belong to and are linked to the SHEET. Members of a VISUAL LAYER SET, they allow you to "group" the dressing of plans by category, and to define a formattingCommon to all the elements attached to this Home Layer The creation of a VISUAL LAYER is carried out from HOME > Visual Layer


Response: Visual Styles are 2D representation styles that define colors, fonts, text height, line styles, etc., for each type of 2D element. These styles are accessible from ANNOTATE > Active Visual Style. Each Visual Style is predefined by the administrator, ensuring consistent graphical standards across all project plans. Note: The chosen style determines the properties of newly created elements, while modifying an element is done through the Properties window.


Response: Each 2D element (drawing or annotation) can be assigned to a Visual LAYER. The assignment of an element to a Visual LAYER, allowsTo define its color, its line type as well as its display configuration and Of printing. When created, 2D elements are associated with the active Visual LAYER of the Active Properties window.

Response: General Labels During the seleCtion of the Label, it is possible to modify graphically, its position, orientation, attachment, as well as the setting in Form of the text. The formatting of the Leader Line and the Frame are managed from the FORMAT menu (LABELS TOOLS).The formatting of the text is most commonly carried out by a Double click on the General Label, giving access to the Text Editor


Response: Smart textsGeneral Labels as well as Simple Texts (TEXP - Text Primitive), can use information from databases. Principle of intelligent texts #: key character for the search for an attribute (C2:5): Taking into account the attribute from character 2 to character 5(P1:3): Taking into account parts 1 to 3 of the attribute (name parts are delimited by the "/") Ex: Label on an elbow whose PIPE is named /BAT-001/PIPE/50-ERA-001 The code #PIPE(P3:3)(C2:) will give: 50-ERA-001 The code #PIPE(P3:)(C2:3) will give: 50The (C2:) allows you to eliminate the / at the beginning of the name; in the absence of an end character, the character string ends at the end of the name These intelligent texts can also be assigned to the projection text of the quotations (e.g. #SPREF(P2:)(C2:))To retrieve the specification of a profile On a rating between two beams or poles.


Response: When selecting the Label, it is possibleBle to modify graphically, its position, orientation, attachment, as well as the scale of the associated symbol ( Template Reference - TMRF) The formatting of the callback line (Leader Line), is managed from the FORMAT menu (LABELS TOOLS). The betIn the form of the text cannot be modified on Symbolic Labels (managed by the system administrator)


Response: Symbols accessible from ANNOTATE > Symbols are created asSymbolic Labels, referring to a 2D drawing model, alone Their position, orientation and size is modifiable. These elements do not have a callback line, but are attached to ELEMENTS of MODEL, and will be automatically replaced during theUpdate of a view for which the MODEL elements have been moved.


Response: When updating a view, it may happen that some elements of the habilLage are linked to model elements that no longer exist. These elements are then no longer visible, or no longer informed. The Clean Up Annotation tool allows you to remove all annotation elements that are no longer linked to 3D elements. ActivationOf the Model Ref Check allows a real-time visualization of the links of the elements Dressing: In green: the dressing elements in connection with the model In red: the dressing elements unrelated to the model


Response: From the DRAW Menu, a 2D interface is accessible to launch queries on the positioning and dimensions of the elements of the 2D space. This menu also allows the 2D drawing plot in the es2D pace to reproduce installation details not present in MODEL. It is also possible thanks to these tools to add 2D dressing to the plans in order to make fully finalized documents under DRAW. Measure Verification of dimensionsWe have 2D and 3D elements in 2D space Querying 3D element information (position, name, etc.) Draw 2D drawing Construct Construction line tools Modify Tools for editing 2D elements Multiple Copy (Array) This tool allows a copyR move to an array, i.e. the multiple copy of an element or a selection of elements with a step Defined.


Response: AVEVA E3D integrates a tool ofE management of revisions, with which it is possible to compare revisions with each other. When creating the revision by clicking on, the system generates a Snapshot of the Sheet. For each revision, it is possible to fill in all the parametersIdentification of the people who have worked or verified the plan. For each revision, a REVI element is created and stored under the SHEET in the Draw Explorer. Depending on the configuration of the cartridge used, the information of the REVI can automaticallyFill in the cartridge revision table.

Response:
Attachments are created in the same way as a piping component. They are used for various applications. We will detail the main ones.

The different types of ATTA are defined by setting the ATTY attribute.

• ATTY Unset: Default type. It is used to mark the position of a support on the piping in the isometric.

• ATTY CCCC: Allows you to add a note with a leader line on the isometric. The attachment will also be dimensioned (referred to as a dimensioned comment).

• ATTY CCNN: Allows you to add a note with a leader line on the isometric. In this case, the attachment will not be dimensioned (referred to as an undimensioned comment).

• ATTY Flow: Adds an arrow to indicate the direction of fluid flow on the isometric.

• ATTY XXXX: Splits the piping line. This option is used if you want to break your isometric to make it easier to read.

• ATTY SSSS: Defines the point from which an isometric should be divided on the next sheet. The same considerations apply as for an ATTY SSSS.

• ATTY INPP: Defines the beginning and end points of insulation on an isometric.

If you want to add a comment to the attachment (in the case of CCCC or CCNN), you need to fill in the Stext attribute of the attachment.

Response: Under a FRAMEWORK (FRMW) or a SUBFRAMEWORK (SBFR),


Response: Under a FRAMEWORK (FRMW) or a SUBFRAMEWORK (SBFR), if the default hierarchies have not been filled in: They are defined in the same way as the panels (PANEL). In general, Floors are used to represent GC slabs, and ScreedsFor the GC massifs. Openings can be made in these elements, in the same way as in a Panel. Under a FRAMEWORK (FRMW) or a SUBFRAMEWORK (SBFR), if the default hierarchies have not been filled in: The screeds can be modifiedS in order to be represented with a slope


Response: Definition: allows you to redefine "Start" and "End" points - Specification: allows you to change the type of wall (thicknessAnd height) - Origin position: allows the displacement of the origin of a GWALL - Justification: allows you to change the justification of the wall (NA,CBOW, ITOW....) - Flip: allows you to change the orientation of the walls by switching their Start and End positions - DefinItion: allows you to redefine the points of the sketch - Justification: allows you to modify the justification of the element (NA,TOS, BOTTOM) - Thickness: allows you to modify the thickness of the element - Negative Extrusion: allows you to redefine the points of theQuisse - Origin Position: allows the displacement of the origin of the element -Specification: allows you to change the specification (thickness)

Response: Representation Mode: Choice of representation mode Layout: simple representation (modeling) Detail: det representationAillé (design) General Attributes: Default: choice of the standard Name: Element name Description: Description of the element Width: Stair width Click on Next to validate the data entered. Reference Points: the user defines theReference points (beginning and end) of the staircase: FROM Reference Point: Definition of the START reference point by graphic identification of a stop (iron, Panel....) The Modify Position option allows you to specify the coordinates of the START point TO ReferencePoint: Definition of the START reference point by graphical identification of a stop (iron, Panel....), or plan identification of a plan (panel, floor...) In Plane mode, after making the graphic selection, it is possible To reverse the direction of the eScale, and specify between the plane and the point Of reference of the staircase. Click on Next to validate the data entered.


Response: The procedure for creating a ladder is similar to that for creating a staircase. Exit Type: Configuration of the exit type (face, right or left) Width inside stile: Width of the scale Truncate Stile: Foot shortening Omit Cage: PresentThat of the protective cage Omit Top Rung: Presence of the upper step Safety Gate: Safety gate


Response: The creation procedureOf railing is similar to that of creating stairs. After configuring the types of railing to be created, simply identify the remarkable points of the railing path, It is possible to modify the guard, It is possible to modifyProud the railing, in order to add openings in it: The management of openings is feasible under the OPENINGS menu Creating an opening Deleting an opening Displacement of an opening Type of opening (single or gate)


Response: The modification of a railing is possible from the same tool as for its creation. In Layout mode as well as in Detail modeIt is also possible to modify, create or delete Components of a railing from the box of Dialogue Modify Handrail Component. This tool allows you to modify locally or in its Overall a railing. - Split Handrail: Slitting toolAge of railing based on selection Of elements at intersection with the railing. - Merge Handrail: Tool for merging 2 railings. -Split Rails: Tool for cutting the rails of a railing compared to a Element or between 2 points. - MatériAl: Tool for associating matter with an STH element.


Response: There are two solutions to use the Clash: - Auto Clash: which is activated using the iconAll collisions will be displayed as they take place when creating new objects. - Or you can control collisions at the end of a routing of a piping for example. In this case, the clasher opens from the icon


Response: The configuration of the Clasher is feasible with the tools available under the Options tab, Touch Gap: tangent tolerance OVerlap: overlap tolerance Clearance: spacing tolerance Keys are: -Are Included: support of tangents -Are Ignored: tangents ignored Clashes within Branch: -Are included: management of clashes in the same branch -Ignore aDjacent: management of clashes in the same branch, excluding Previous and following elements -Are ignored: interference in the same branch ignored Connections: -Are Included: support for tangents with connections (NOZZLE) -Are Ignored: tangents ignored-With Spec. are ignored: tangents ignored if the specification of Connections is identical to that of the controlled element. -Clashes Ignored Within: Ignores clashes between primitives belonging to the same element


Response: The obstruction list defines all the elements of the special map with which collisions will be defined. By default, the obstruction list contains all the design elements of the MDB.It is possible to modify this list in order to generate an item collision list. The exclusion list contains all the elements that should not be taken into account when calculating collisions. By default, this list is empty. From the onglAnd Limits, a volume can be defined around one or more elements, or a region in order to create an obstruction space. Any element that is partially or entirely in this space will be checked.


Response: Click on Check CE to check the current item, or enter the name of the item to be checked before clicking on Check. By navigating the list of collisions, a visualization of the collision sSelected is generated in a graphic area similar to the design graphic view. The Navigate to Clash Item option allows you to access the colliding object. The Navigate to Obstruction option provides access to the obstructed object


Response: At each Savework, a working session is opened by the user. The user has the possibility to comment on his sessions in order to facilitate theUnderstanding of the history of the elements.


Response: It is possible to compare the state of an element of the model with its state on a defined date.The easiest way is to be able to use a stamp (revision) of the database. After choosing a comparison date and clicking on OK, the user can query the elements of the model on their previous state with the keyword "OLD".Ex: Q OLD NAME Q OLD POS


Response: The history of element creations and modifications is kept by AVEVA E3D. The Mode toolL Changes allows visibility of the entire history or just that of a particular element. It is therefore possible to know which user has modified an element and on what date. NOTE: The Q LASTMOD and Q USERMOD commands allow you to displayExpensive in the Command Window, the date and author of the last modification.


Response: The DB Listing is the backup of one or more element(s) ofE the database in a text file. This backup is only compatible with AVEVA E3D and AVEVA PDMS, the versions may be different. This file (.txt) can be edited before being reused, it contains all the command lines for recreationR the same element identically (name, position, geometry). Only the hierarchy differs and depends on the hierarchy selected at the time of importing this file. Some elements of PDMS using references in CATALOGUE (Structure, Piping, Nozzle, etc...) are only compatible with a Project containing the same CATALOGUE. It is possible to use this tool to: -Save an element at a time "t" -Duplicate an element (requires to modify the text file) -Modify an existing element (requiresIte to modify the text file)


Response: Reporting is the extraction of information about the 3D model into text files, Excel, or to the AVEVA E3D reporting editor. Files (.txt) or (.csv) can be edited.They contain all the information you want to extract from the model (name, position, geometry). This data can be modified and reinjected into the model. Some elements of E3D using references in CATALOGUE (Structure, Piping, Nozzle, etc...) are only compatible with a Project containing the same CATALOGUE. It is possible to use this tool to: -Check one or more existing elements -Edit one or more existing elements (requires to modify the text file) -Emblish a list ofE hardware (data extraction) For simple verification or modification operations, the Simple Report function is preferred: In the example opposite, we query all the EQUI-type elements located under the CE hierarchy. The attributesNAME, OWNER, PURPOSE, AREA and POSITION of each item found will be saved in the report.txt file


Response: A wall (STWALL), like an iron section, is characterized by: - a line defined by 2 points - a section defined by a specification - a justification of the section on the line It can also include nodes and connections with other walls or sections.
