Intergraph | Sp3d

For revamp projects (brownfield), SP3D allows you to import .pts or .pod laser scan files. You can model new piping directly over the existing "point cloud" as-built environment, ensuring zero interference.

In SP3D, the 3D view is simply a visualization of the database. You can change a component's size in the data table, and the 3D model updates instantly. This is revolutionary for revision control. If a valve specification changes from a gate valve to a globe valve, the entire project updates with one database query—no manual redrafting. sp3d intergraph

Everything in SP3D is an "object." A pump, a valve, a structural beam, or a ladder—each has a unique ID, properties, and behavior. The database stores relationships. For example, a pipe segment "knows" its start point (equipment nozzle) and its end point (another nozzle or a tee). For revamp projects (brownfield), SP3D allows you to import

Users place parametric equipment (pumps, exchangers, reactors, tanks) or import detailed vendor nozzles via neutral formats (STEP, IGES). The tool allows for complex nozzle orientations and piping connection points (CPoints). Everything in SP3D is an "object

SP3D is not one monolithic tool; it is a suite of integrated modules:

To demystify the process, here is a simplified workflow in SP3D Intergraph:
