Creating Custom 3D Pipe Supports and Adding them to the CADWorx Specification Editor

Two weeks ago we covered Creating standard CADWorx 3D Pipe Support Assemblies and adding them to a CADWorx Specification. There may come a time however, when there is a Support Shape that cannot be created using the standard CADWorx Support Component types. 

For this very reason, CADWorx Plant Professional also has the ability to insert an AutoCAD Solid Support shape into a CADWorx Specification. This allows the User to insert a User Customized Support into the 3D Model containing all the intelligence of a standard CADWorx Plant 3D Pipe Support.

Adding 3D Pipe Supports to the CADWorx Specification Editor

When modelling with the new CADWorx Plant Professional 2014 Specifications, Users will notice they have access to an example catalog of Intelligent 3D Pipe Support Assemblies.

Catalogs containing User Defined 3D Pipe Support Assemblies can be created in the CADWorx Specification Editor to reflect User Dimensions and User Defined Intelligence. These 3D Supports can be used in Clash Detection, exported to Caesar II and Isogen SKEY's can also be assigned to these User Defined Supports, ensuring that the correct Support Symbol is used when an Isometric generated in Isogen.
