Need to figure out how to take the location of complicated models on site & represent the location in side plant - currently the location can be set by the imported xref.Ĭollision checking then performed in Navisworks.

Currently the plant dwg is big - looks good in Navisworks but sluggish inside plant. Presume the revit/inventor models are sent to Navisworks & the Plant Model sent to navis too, thinking about how the co ordinate systems are all tied together. Are imported models best avoided because of the performance hit? this looks like a way to keep everything a simple as possible. By Gambody Team Gambody, during its 3 years of experience in the design and sale of 3D models, noticed that one of the most frequent problems 3D printing enthusiasts face when. is associated with STL files as it breaks down the complex 3D structures into 2D models.

The tutorials I've seen appear to point to creating models from scratch using the tools within plant. Quite literally, it slices the 3D model into thin layers. With Inventor a sketch plane can be used & geometry projected & extruded - not sure how to keep the same co-ordinate system trying to copy the workflow in Autocad. Models imported from Inventor & Navisworks can be sizable - currently theses models are xrefs but when switched on performance is slow.Īny top tips for creating simple representations of imported model for plant 3d wirlybird Posts: 1359 Joined: Sun 5:32 pm Re: Breaking apart a model Thu 11:55 am Try going to the Mesh menu a the top and select separate connected surfaces then delete what you don't want.
