: It supports both Vault replication and the replication of the plant project database, facilitating teamwork across multiple office locations.
: 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.
Beyond Vault integration, the 2016 version introduced tools to improve as-built modeling and cross-platform workflows: AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016 for Designers
: Vault manages all critical project files, including 3D models, piping specifications, catalogs, and related documentation.
: 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 : It supports both Vault replication and the
: Designers can attach Navisworks models directly into AutoCAD to check for design clashes and snap to geometry while routing pipes.
: By unifying project administration, it helps reduce the time spent on manual file management and improves overall project oversight. Other Noteworthy 2016 Features : Designers can add reference dimensions to 3D
: Introduced in Extension 1, this added parametric shapes like stiffening rings, skirts, platforms, and lugs to existing equipment models.
