AutoCAD Plant 3D design software boasts tools and features that can help you visualize what your plant design will actually look like after construction. In this course, learn how to get started with Plant 3D. Irene Radcliffe kicks off the course by showing how to set up the Plant 3D workspace, and use the ribbon menu, tool palette, and properties.

How to plot 3D objects from AutoCAD to a 3D PDF to maintain visual fidelity.Solution:
AutoCAD Plant 3D. Support productivity, improve accuracy, and enhance coordination with AutoCAD Plant 3D plant layout design software. Built on the familiar AutoCAD software platform, these tools bring modern 3D plant design to designers and engineers who model and document process plants. Introduction to AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016Book Description: Introduction to AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016 is a learn-by-doing manual focused on the basics of AutoCAD Plant 3D. The book helps you to learn the process of creating projects in AutoCAD Plant 3D rather than learning individual tools and commands. The AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset adds features to help you produce P&IDs, and then integrate them into a 3D plant design model. Generate and share isometrics, orthographics, and materials reports. Create schematic diagrams, plant layouts, and other drawings for plant design using specialized tools.
There is no option to create a 3D PDF in AutoCAD-based products. However, two alternatives are available. Create a 3D DWF:
- Use command PUBLISH in AutoCAD.
- Select file format dwf or dwfx.
- In the dialog, delete all layouts and models which are not needed.
- Check '3D DWF.'
- Click button 'Publish.'
Plant 3d Spec Editor Tutorial
​Use Autodesk Design Review to open DWF/DWFx files. The 3D drawing can be zoomed and rotated easily.
Use Bentley View:
This viewer can
open both MicroStation files and AutoCAD files. Once open, the viewer can plot a 3D PDF file.

9/14/2017 AutoCAD Plant 3D design software boasts tools and features that can help you visualize what your plant design will actually look like after construction. In this course, learn how to get started with Plant 3D. Irene Radcliffe kicks off the course by showing how to set up the Plant 3D workspace, and use the ribbon menu, tool palette, and properties. She demonstrates how to work with Plant 3D files, and then explains how to create basic steel structures using the structural tools. She then covers how to work with equipment, route piping in your models, modify and reuse piping, and create orthographic drawings and production isometrics. To wrap up the course, she discusses how to generate project reports using the Report Creator program that comes with the software. Topics include:- Setting up the Plant 3D workspace
- Using on-screen tools
- Working with Plant 3D files
- Creating a new model
- Importing an existing Plant 3D file into a project
- Locating missing drawing files
- Creating a structural grid
- Working with the structural steel component
- Creating equipment
- Basic pipe routing
- Moving and copying data
- Locating components using Data Manager
- Linking P&ID line information to your 3D model
- Orthographic drawings
- Isometric drawings

- [Irene] Intelligent plant design tools have been usedin the plant engineering industry for many years now.Spec-driven models support productivity,improve accuracy, enhance coordination,and allow engineers, designers, and draftersto extract many different types of engineering deliverablesfrom a a single source.We'll look at how to generate intelligent piping,structural and equipment models,and learn how we can leverage these modelsto generate engineering deliverablessuch as isometrics, orthographic layouts,and material reports.
In my LinkedIn Learning Course, I'll take youthrough the steps from creating a simple piping runto exporting isometrics and generatingcustom bill of materials and detailed reports.Join me, Irene Radcliffe, in my courseAutoCAD Plant 3D Essential Training for Users.
