You mentioned that you were going to make a video on how to export into excel. Did that video get made?

Hello, What are your thoughts on CADISON-3D Plant Design & Equipment Engineering Software? Which software is better for process plant design?

[@boluyinka]

Is it a must that one removes the pipe sizes that you wont be using or that step can be omitted? As it gives a wide range of options... Who knows what will happen later due to some sudden MOCs while on the Job?

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hi Olayinka, yes agreed, I would filter out the sizes you do not want used while in the Spec Editor to prevent them from being used. Thank you for watching! Nicole Morris|Support Team Lead|KETIV Technologies, Inc.

gracias por compartir tan valiosa información, la necesitaba...gracias

[@fredericmasselot2567]

Very interesting, I know Cadworx and PDMS software and here it's more simple and easy than the others. Many thanks for the time that you spent. :)

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Glad you liked it! We have more videos on the subject on our channel and blogs on our website - ketiv.com/?s=plant#pageStart

Hi! it's possible create a new spec pipe support? with my custom supports?

[@ahmedkhalifa9829]

Thanks for you, I hope you to make a complete course of plant 3D from beginning to advanced level

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thanks for the suggestion!

So i created a new catalog of equipment (lets say its a Clamp Union with ferrule on it), i used a model i download online and added it to the catalog. I set the "Size parameter" in Catalog Editor as normal but in the drawing tab in Plant 3D when i connect it to the pipe (both were 1 1/2" in size), the Clamp become huge, much much bigger than the size of pipe. So can you tell me what i did wrong? Do i have to scale the Clamp in the model i download (model in AutoCad 3D Plant too) or something? Thank you

Very nice information sir, Thank you sir

Hi there! Can you tell me what graphics card is used to make these plant

[@TheSmileyTek]

I see they never answered, but a circa 2014 K2200 4GB DDR5 could probably run Plant 3D no problem. It's just a standard CAD workstation GPU I'd imagine. 2GB to 4GB (preferred) I'd guess. I've used a K620 2GB DDR3 at my job, and it has zero issues. Although, if you're rendering high detailed textures, you'd want a beefier GPU to save some time and stutters (of course). Just my opinion based on my personal experience. Sorry I jumped in. Tech Power Up has excellent resources, as well as OEMs like Dell. I'd take a peek at their current workstation builds for an idea as well. Good luck on the GPU hunt. Some are way overpriced right now, due to the "shortage".

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thank you Smiley Tek for jumping in here, sorry for the delay in reponse. Yes we prefer the CAD Cards like Nvidia Quadro and AMD FirePro's Here is a list of cards and drivers that have been tested. knowledge.autodesk.com/certified-graphics-hardware

Hi, I am new user of Auto plant 3D , and facing problems while editing Spec Editor, showing bello message "The process canot access the file, "C\User\Shweta\AppData\Roming\Autodesk\Autodesk Autocad Plant 3D 2023\R24.2\enu\SpecEditor\Welcome screen.UserSettings.xml" because it is being used by another process"

Hello, I'm trying to create a new spec with copper tube, using an existing cpak copper catalog, but I can't change the existing dimensions or add new ones...! Can anyone help and tell me why?

[@chenkkuttuvanmurugesan5796]

Hi Do we have a spec for compression fittings? Can you guide me where to find it, or how to create it?

[@jesusosvaldoestebanazuara4051]

How do you combine grooved pipe with weldable or threaded pipe?

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Jesus, this would require creating a custom End Connection in the project Setup. See #3 on this document. knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-plant-3d/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-add-new-end-type-in-the-AutoCAD-Plant-3D.html KETIV | Nicole Morris

[@TheSmileyTek]

Thanks for the content. Seems so much more user friendly than PDS. 🤣 PDS was revolutionary back in the day, but I'm loving this.

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ronaldnapitalaijr.3232]

Can you also do this for Steel Structures?

[@machielodendaal398]

Have a look at advance steel, that is meant for steel structures and detailing.

How I Adhere new pieces, for example valves, mechanicals tee for examplo of victaulic? an a I have another case, i want to add pump threaded , can you help me please

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hi Jesus, you would typically follow a spec sheet from the manufacturer. KETIV | Nicole

JUST A COMMENT, ELBOW RL IS A BEND PIPE, AND ELL 90 RL ARE STANDARD 90 ELBOWS IN SPECIFICATION. IF YOU PUT THE FIRST ONES IN THE ISOMETRIC THE LEGEND BEND WILL APPEAR.

Hi! Pls help me to activate autocad plant 3D 2020.
