To validate a Plant 3D model against a P&ID drawing (Plant 3D only)

Before you start, make sure that the P&ID drawing is the most recent version and is available.

Note: Do not validate the model against the P&ID if you are using placeholder parts. (Placeholder parts are ignored. However, you can run a check on the model alone to find the placeholder parts and replace them with actual parts. Then you can validate the model against the P&ID.)

1. In the Project Manager, right-click the model you want to validate. Click Validate.
   Note: If you want to validate the entire project, right click on the project node instead.
2. When the Validation Progress dialog box closes, do one of the following:
   • If none of the models have validation errors, the Validation Complete message is displayed. Click OK.
   • If there are errors in one or more drawings, the Validation Summary Window is displayed. Go to the next step.
     
3. To view information about each error, in the Validation Summary tree, click an error node. The drawing zooms to the problem object.
4. Perform the error action displayed in the Details pane.
