Connection Points and CSInfo

The objective of this step is to define required coordinate systems and CSInfo for the connection points of the component.

The component type (selected in the previous step) is displayed at the top of the form.

On the right, there is displayed a preview sample of the respective component type including the indicated position and direction (x-axis) of the required and optional coordinate systems.

The required and optional coordinate systems are listed below the component type.

For each of them there is available:

• Status - Adds the respective coordinate system or edits its CSInfo. Selecting the button starts Coordinate System Wizard with predefined values for the respective action. The color of the button text shows the status of the coordinate system:
• • Red - The coordinate system is required for the respective component type. When Add is visible, the coordinate system does not exist and must be created. When Edit is visible, CSInfo of the existing coordinate system must be set or edited.
  • Blue - The coordinate system is optional and currently does not exist for the active component.
  • Green - The required or optional coordinate system (including proper CSInfo) is already available within the active component. If CSInfo can be set for the respective coordinate system type, Edit is available (CSInfo can be modified). If the coordinate system type does not support CSInfo or if it is set properly and there is no parameter that could be modified, Done is available but inactive.

   

• Name - Name of the coordinate system.

• Required? - Distinguishes between the coordinate systems that are necessary (required) for the component to be used with Smap3D Piping and those (optional) which Smap3D Piping does not use. Such coordinate systems are typically useful for processing in Smap3D Isometric or PCFExport.
