Session 2: Placing Coordinate Systems/Grids

Objective:

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

•

Place a coordinate system and rotated and radial grids by using the Grid Wizard command.

Prerequisite Sessions:

•

SP3D Overview

•

SP3D Common Sessions

•

Grids: An Overview

Overview:

The Grid Wizard command enables you to:

•

Create coordinate systems, elevation planes, rectangular grid planes, radial gridcylinders, and radial grid planes in a model.

•

Specify when grid lines and arcs should be displayed for each.

To place these objects using the Grid Wizard command, you should first open the Grids task.Objects placed directly in a model are assigned to the Active Permission Group. Make sure youselect the appropriate permission group. Select Layout as the Active Permission Group forplacing the coordinate system and the rotated and radial grids.

Before going through this and the remaining SP3D Structure sessions, define your workspace to

include all objects in the SP3Dtrain model database:

1.

Start the SP3D software by using Start > ALL Programs > Intergraph SmartPlant 3D >

SmartPlant 3D.

2.

In the New dialog box, select the EnglishUnits template and then, click OK.

3.

Click the File menu and select the Define Workspace… command.

4.

In the Filter drop-down list of the Define Workspace dialog box, select the More… option.

5.

In the Select Filter dialog box, select All under Plant Filters and click OK.

6.

Select View > Fit.

Now, you are going to delete the existing modeled objects from the workspace before starting thesession.

Use the filter mechanism to select the existing modeled objects.






7.

Select the Tools > Select by Filter command to open the Select Filter dialog box.

8.

Select and expand the For Instructors Only folder.

9.

Select the Structural Tutorial Session - Select and Delete filter and click OK.

10.

Click the Delete command to delete the selected objects.

Steps for Placing Coordinate Systems:

Place a coordinate system in Unit U02 of Area A2 by specifying the settings for the coordinatesystem, elevation plane, grid X-plane, and grid Y-plane by using the Grid Wizard command. Thespecifications for the coordinate system are as follows:

Coordinate System:

•

Name: U02 CS• East(X): 30 ft

• North(Y): 10 ft

•

Up(Z): 0 ft

Specify U02 CS as the reference coordinate system for the elevation and grid planes that youcreate.

Elevation Planes:

• Elevation plane 1

The Grid Wizard dialog box appears. In the Create Coordinate System form, specify thefollowing settings:

•

Name: U02 CS

• East(X): 30 ft

•

North(Y): 10 ft

• Up(Z): 0 ft

Figure 3: Coordinate System Settings

6.

Click the Next button.

After defining the coordinate system, you define the elevation planes, grid X-plane, andgrid Y-plane. The settings that you specify in these planes are as follows:

•

Reference CS - It defines the coordinate system with reference to which all planesare placed.

• Start plane - It defines the location of the first plane.

•

Copies - It specifies the number of planes to be created from the start plane.






• Spacing - It specifies the distance between the copied planes.

•

End plane - It specifies the last location of the created plane.

•

Name rule - It defines the naming convention of the planes. The common namingconventions are as follows:

o

Index name rule: This option provides the root labels (GPX for x-axis andGPY for y-axis) for primary planes and then appends onto this root, thesequential order of the planes. For example, 1 for the first plane, 2 for thesecond plane, and subsequently for next planes. Secondary planes aresuffixed with an additional decimal indication of the sequential order of theplanes between two primary planes, and so forth for the tertiary level.

Primary Secondary TertiaryGPX1GPX2

GPX2.1

GPX2.1.1GPX2.1.2

GPX2.2GPX3

o Position name rule: This option provides the base labels (E for the Eastingaxis, N for the Northing axis) for the primary planes and then appends ontothis base, the physical location of the plane on the parent coordinate system.The position is defined in meters.

Primary Secondary TertiaryE0.00 mE8.00 m

E10.25 mE12.78 m

E13.25 mE16.50 m

o Imperial position name rule: This option provides the base labels (E for theEasting axis, N for the Northing axis) for the primary planes and thenappends onto this base, the physical location of the plane on the parentcoordinate system. The position is defined in feet.

Primary Secondary TertiaryE0.00 ftE8.00 ft

E10.25 ft E12.78 ftE13.25 ft

E16.50 ft

o Index and percent name rule: This option provides the root labels (GPX for






x-axis and GPY for y-axis) for the primary planes. Sub-nesting levels are apercentage (in decimal form) of the bounding and higher nesting levels.

Example:

Grids are usually prefixed with a letter and suffixed with a decimal distanceaway (A, B, C, C.6, D, and E). The number to the right of the decimal place,such as C.6, for a secondary plane is the relative position between theprevious and the next primary plane. In other words, it is 60% away fromthe previous primary elevation plane.

Primary Secondary TertiaryGPX1GPX2

GPX2.5GPX2.5.3GPX2.5.8

o Alphanumeric and percent name rule: This option provides the root labels(A, B, C… for the x-axis and 1, 2, 3…for the y-axis) for the primary planes.Sub-nesting levels are a percentage (in decimal form) of the bounding andhigher nesting levels.

Example: Grids are usually prefixed with a letter and suffixed with a decimal distanceaway (A, B, C, C.6, D, and E). The number to the right of the decimal place,such as C.6, for a secondary plane is the relative position between theprevious and the next primary plane. In other words, it is 60% away fromthe previous primary elevation plane.

User defined name rule: With this option, the user defines the name by key

in. If the name rule is changed to user defined after a name wasautomatically generated by one of the above-mentioned name rules, theexisting name is kept by default but does not automatically change onediting the object properties.

• Nesting level - It specifies the levels of divisions to be placed in a grid. There are






three nesting levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Tertiary planes can be inbetween two secondary planes. Secondary planes can be in between two primaryplanes. In a large model, it enables you to organize planes to sublevels and namethem to sublevels automatically using the given name rules, such as 1, 1.1, and 1.2.Primary is the default nesting level.

•

Type - It specifies the type of elevation planes to be placed. There are different typesof elevation planes, such as bottom of baseplate, bottom of concrete, top of steel, andgrade elevation. A user has to define the type of elevation to be created. Thisinformation is used for reporting purposes.

In the Create Elevation Planes form, specify the following settings and click the Add button after specifying each setting.

Note:

•

The value in the End plane box is always grayed out. This value is determinedby value of the other settings. If the number of copies is set to 0, the end planetakes the value of the start plane. Otherwise, the value of the end plane isdetermined by the start plane, the number of copies, and the spacing betweeneach plane.
