PapriCAD 3D Modeler

3D Modeler provides designers with a full set of time saving intelligent modeling tools for plant design, skid design and other specialized construction.
Other notable features include

• Rules based connectivity
  When connecting components, the program will display colored cones at all the possible connection points in the model. Choose the cone at the desired
  connection point and 3D Modeler will auto check piping connection rules such as pipe size, line number match, pipe rating match and wall thickness match.
  Once the connectivity rules are satisfied, the new item is connected with precision to the existing component.
  

• Automated Tools
  • Auto-Route
  • Auto-Weld automatically adds welds when fittings are joined
  • Auto-Gasket places gaskets automatically when required by fittings
  • Flange Set Auto-Complete adds all the components needed in a flange set connection
  • Valve Flange Set Auto-Complete adds gasket, bolts and flange to complete valve assembly
  • Pipe Spec Export/Import tools
  • Copy Design feature allows you to save time by re-using existing designs
  • Smart editing tools to copy, reconnect, reposition, or move piping components in the 3D model
• 2D deliverables
  Easily generate 2D plans and section drawings and add dimensions and annotations. The wizard guides you step-by-step.

• Structural steel component
  Model steel structures by inserting and editing steel components. Features include:
  • Standard steel shapes
  • Coping, mitering and hole drilling
  • BOM generation
  • Automated generation of plans and sections
  • Ability to stretch or break steel members and other linear components
  • Ability to delete holes and coping of existing steel members

• Portability with DWG files
  Send your DWG drawing files (models) to your customers who can view and/or edit them in AutoCAD® (they don’t need PapriCAD 3D).
  Any files you receive back will be automatically audited by PapriCAD 3D for changes against the original drawing file. If there have been any changes,
  PapriCAD 3D will alert you by giving you the option to accept the changes or discard them.
  

Component Designer

Component Designer is a powerful tool that expands your design capabilities. By combining the flexibility of PapriCAD 3D graphics and the functionality
of SQL Server™ database, you can:

• Edit components and libraries according to your own specific design needs
• Add new component sizes or revise dimensional data of existing ones
• Create complete new libraries of components with their own unique parametric data
• Decide which design rules should apply to new components
• Define the post processing of your data such as including it in ISOGEN output or BOMs

Component Designer consists of four major modules covering all the steps in the component creation process:

• Metadata Builder to create components with specific shapes. See the component geometry evolve real-time in the display as you build it.
• Library Design to add, edit or assign components with properties, dimensions and descriptions. Once you have created the shape of your component,
  easily assign parametric data such as size, ratings, dimensions and BOM descriptions.
• Design Systems to group components and assign special conditions to a set of components that share common features and characteristics.
  By grouping systems together, you are able to associate components with relevant processing actions within the PapriCAD 3D environment. Also easily create your
  own mix-and-match libraries that contain components from piping, structural steel and others.
• Menu Editor to easily update existing menus or create new menus when a new component or library has been created. Create tabs for each group of components,
  draw the icons representing the component, and then assign the component it places when that button is selected in the 3D Modeler session.

Personal ISOGEN

Personal ISOGEN, a product of Alias Ltd., is the world’s standard program for the automation of piping isometric drawing production. With ISOGEN, you can select the
line and its isometric drawing is generated automatically with a bill of material, full dimensioning and notations. It saves the drawing into DWG format and any system with
CAD software that supports this file format can open it for viewing, printing or even editing.

Isometric production features include:

• Seamless integration with the 3D Modeler
• Supports an unlimited number of isometric runs
• Configure the drawing output options with the included i-Configure

Project Manager

Manage every stage of the project with full control over project data, specs, standards and unique environment settings. Functions in a distributed network or as a
standalone application.

• Provides multiple user access levels to ensure project security and allow for account maintenance. Access levels ensure users are only allowed to perform
  assigned roles for editing designs, viewing, or managing files, etc.
• Create, copy, delete or edit projects and/or piping designs
• Set project units (Metric or English)
• Create project line numbers
• Control layers and color schemes by spec or line numbers
• Allocate piping specs that can be used in the project and/or design
• Set minimum pipe length between fittings
• Set weld gaps
• Manage project documents and data: designs, isometrics, 2D drawings and BOM settings

Specification Manager

Create custom pipe specs from an extensive database that includes ANSI pipe ratings from 150 to 2500# for sizes ranging from 1/8” to 80” (or 3mm to 2000mm).
Specification Manager allows you to perform the following functions:

• Create, copy, delete or edit unlimited number of piping design specs
• Utilize tools to copy from other specs and edit them to suit
• Ensure drawing and model integrity by filtering components that meet a user-specified criteria
• Work with a centralized repository for multi-user access and data maintenance
• View component libraries
• Included are three generic carbon steel ANSI pipe ratings for 150#, 300# and 600#

BOM Settings Manager

Customize material reports to suit your exact needs. Easily create any number of report templates to extract material information to accommodate your project’s schedule,
the material availability and delivery timetables.

• Determine the components to be included in report
• Set sorting sequence
• Define BOM item numbering format
• Decide on the appearance of the report by choosing font type, size, grouping headers, etc.
• Select display units: Metric, English or mixed Metric/English units
• Define CAD options when BOM is to be placed in a drawing
• Ability to preview reports in case adjustments are necessary

BOM Generator

Manage each project’s material reports with confidence and easily transfer material requirements to the procurement department for ordering. Accurate and timely material
reporting reduces waste and ensures material is ordered in time for a successful project. Generate material reports for the entire project, a single or a group of 3D models
or report by line number(s). The BOM Generator creates material reports in any of these formats:

• Excel format (CSV or xls)
• Web format (HTML)
• External text file (txt)
• Insert BOM into current drawing or a newly created drawing dedicated to displaying the BOM only

AutoCAD®

PapriCAD 3D takes advantage of the latest AutoCAD. No additional licensing is required and you have a single point of contact for all your technical support needs.
