In a standard oil and gas engineering design project executed with a 3D plant model, there are usually several formal model review sessions conducted at key milestone dates (e.g. 30%, 60% and 90% reviews). The sessions are run in conjunction with the client in order to review the plant design […]

There is often a disconnect between engineering houses and fabricators, particularly small to medium scale fabricators who may have little or no in-house 3D cad system capabilities. Typically what normally happens at the end of the project design phase is that the engineering company hands over their 3D model to […]

3D models developed from laser scan point clouds can be very accurate. So accurate, in fact, that 2D drawings derived from such models can appear rather untidy. To counter this, the laser scan model can be “orthogonalised”, so that slight angular imperfections in otherwise perpendicular joints (e.g. from sagging pipes) […]
