PLANTo3 Help

PLANTo3 is a plugin for both AutoCAD and Revit and offers many new tools to simplify and automate your day to day work in AutoCAD PLANT3D. It also allows you to export PLANT3D's all piping components in addition to steel members to native Revit family elements.  PLANTo3 offers an easy and intuitive Bill of Materials generator with pricing capability.

Linear Units

Sets up current drawing linear units. This setting is used for modeling and also for exporting to Revit.

Property Line

Creates new plant/building property lines that can be used to create column grids and stick frame for the steel structure. It also allows you to modify existing property line boundary.

Create Levels

Create and modify levels in the drawing. Levels are graphical representations of structure floor/level elevations, they can be used together with column grids to generate stick frames.

Column Grids

Creates column grids and stick frames. It also creates elevation marks on stick frame as a guide when laying out pipelines and insert structural members and other components. Stick frame can be generated automatically using an existing property line, column grids and structure levels (discussed next). You can specify stick column extensions as well as stick column footing extensions. Once the stick frame is generated, you can use another command to create steel members by selecting stick frame elements.

Manual Stick Frame Tab

Switch to the second tab of the Column Grid palette. This tab allows you to manually create stick frame. You can create stick Columns, Beams and Braces. These sticks assist in the precision placement of structural members and piping components.
