To place valves, fittings, and inline equipment from the P&ID Line List

You can choose valves, fittings, and inline equipment from the P&ID Line List and place mapped Plant 3D counterparts in the model.

Valves, fittings, and inline equipment are listed under each line segment.

If a P&ID object is mapped to more than one Plant 3D object, you can specify the Plant object when you place it in your drawing.

1. Open a Plant 3D model.
2. On the ribbon, click Home Part Insertion panel P&ID Line List.
3. In the P&ID Line List window, do the following:
   • In the drop-down list, click the P&ID drawing whose lines and components you want to view.
   • In the tree view, expand the Pipe Line Group. Click an item (for example: Gate Valve).
   • Click Place.
   
4. Do one of the following:
   • If the size and spec match, go to step 5.
   • If the size or spec do not match, in the Select Size and Spec dialog box, do the following:
     • Under Spec, click a spec (for example: CS150).
     • Under Size, click a size (for example: 4”).
     • If you are sure that your choice is accurate for all situations, select the check box labeled Always Substitute the Selected Size For [size]. (The spec is not saved along with the size.)
     • If the size you want is not available, click Edit Size Mappings to edit the default mapping file.
     • Click Select.
       
5. Do one of the following:
   • If the P&ID object class is mapped to a single Plant 3D class, go step 6.
   • If the P&ID object class is mapped to multiple Plant 3D classes, in the Select Plant 3D Class dialog box, in the 3D Classes list, click a Plant 3D class. Click Place.
   
6. In the drawing area, click a point on a pipe to specify the location for the inline equipment.
7. Press ENTER.
