Geometry Mapping (CSV to Plant 3D Mapping Dialog Box)

List of Options

External Class Names List

Lists 3rd-party class names that can map to a Plant 3D class.

Plus (+) Button

Adds a new 3rd-party class name to the External Class Names list. Enter text into the box and click the + button to add a class name.

Note: To reuse an existing script, right-click an existing class to copy the mapping information, then right-click the new class to paste the information. This action affects only this tab.

Minus (-) Button

Deletes an 3rd-party class name from the External Class Names list.

External Class Name

Displays the 3rd-party class name selected from the External Class Names list on the left pane.

Property Names to Match

Specifies 3rd-party property names to match to Plant 3D endtype graphic scripts in varying contexts.

Separate multiple property names with commas.

Add Script Name

Adds a Plant 3D endtype graphics script name to the list.

• Plus (+) button. Adds a new row that includes the entered script name and property value.
• Minus (-) button. Deletes a selected row that includes the entered script name and property value.

Add Property Value

Adds property values for the 3rd-party property. For example, the property is END_COND_1 and the values are BW, SWF, SCF, and so on.

Parameter Mapping

Specifies parameter mapping between Plant 3D and 3rd-party. Each geometry mapping has a corresponding set of parameters, which can vary depending on the shape.

The image that follows shows a Plant 3D threaded female tee in the Catalog tab.

The Plant 3D dimension parameters for the shape are listed, and you can enter them in the Parameter Mapping table in the Plant 3D Parameter Name column. You can then enter the corresponding 3rd-party property name (or value).

• Plant 3D Parameter Name. Specifies the Plant 3D graphic script dimension parameter to map to the 3rd-party parameter.
• External Parameter Name. Specifies the 3rd-party parameter name, expression, or value to map to the Plant 3D parameter.
