Introduction
This document provides best practices guidance on how to manage changes to the Smart 3D (S3D)
catalog and reference data during life cycle phases of a project. Once modeling begins, required
changes to the catalog or reference data must be properly made in order to avoid project delay and
cost overrun. To narrow the scope on this subject, this paper does not include the benefits of using
SmartPlant Reference Data (SPRD) to manage corporate specifications in a global environment. The
general procedure described here includes management of specification data, symbol definition,
rules and parts data, as well as changes to the catalog schema required to support the life cycle
phases of a project.
Terminology
Part definition is a persistent object in the catalog database that contains part data.
Part occurrence is an instance of a part persisted in the model database.
Symbol definition is a persistent object in the model database that holds the definition of the
inputs and outputs used to create the graphical representation of the object.
Symbol is a program (dll) that creates a set of outputs for a given set of inputs.
Symbol occurrence is a persistent object that has a transformation matrix of the flavor.
Flavor holds and caches the actual graphical representation of the object.
Proxy represents an object from another database.

Tools
The process to manage catalog and reference data changes during life cycle phases of a project
involves the use of different tools and commands. The following list briefly summarizes all the
major tools and commands involved in this process.
3.1
Bulkload Utility
This tool permits loading the changes from Excel sheets into the catalog database. Several options
are available to load the data into the catalog. The Add/Modify/Delete option is best used when
you are modifying pre-existing data in the catalog. In this option, the utility scans the Excel sheet
for the characters A, M, or D at the beginning of each row to perform the appropriate
action in the catalog and catalog schema databases. For more information refer to the Reference
Data Guide.
3.2
Verify Consistency Report Command

The Verify Consistency report command, available from the Tools menu in the catalog task,
provides users with the means to check the piping specification rules and the required data to
place the part occurrences. Once the consistency check is complete, the system generates an
Excel report detailing the discrepancies. For more information refer to the Catalog Users Guide.
3.3
Catalog Checker Utility

The catalog checker utility helps to determine and assess the impact to the 3D model resulting
from changes to the specification rules and part data in the catalog. The utility reports the objects
in the 3D model impacted by the proposed changes. For more information refer to the Smart3D
Customer Support Site under the Freeware Tools and Utilities web page in
https://smartsupport.intergraph.com
3.4
Synchronize Model with Catalog Command

Due to a reference data or catalog change, the objects in the model can end up in out of date with
the catalog. The Synchronize Model with Catalog command updates all objects in the model
database with all catalog changes, such as part definition, specification, rules, and symbol
definition changes. The Mark out-of-date occurrences option checked and the Update out-ofdate occurrences option unchecked is best setup to run this command. For example, in a global
work share configuration, system places items at satellite locations that need updating on the To
Do List. For more information, refer to the Project Management Users Guide.
3.5
Synchronize Workspace Command

The Synchronize Workspace command updates selected out-of-date objects in the model with all
changes from the catalog. If no objects are selected, then the command searches and updates all
out-of-date objects in the workspace instead. You access this command by selecting the Tools >
Utilities > Synchronize with Catalog option. For more information, refer to the Project
Management Users Guide.
3.6
TO DO List tool
The To Do List command, available from the View menu in any modeling task, provides you with
a dialog box to see objects in the workspace that have inconsistent data. The note column
indicates the description of the problem. For more information, refer to the Common Users
Guide.
3.7
Update Custom Symbol Configuration Command

The Update Custom Symbol Configuration command, available from the Tool menu in Project
Management task, updates the CustomSymbolConfig.xml file. This CustomSymbolConfig.xml file
contains entries of program ID (ProgID), the CLSID and DLL name for each custom symbol dll
located under [SharedContent Directory]\Custom Symbols folder. S3D uses this
CustomSymbolConfig.xml file to find the symbol dll when the system creates the symbol
definition object for the first time in the model database. For more information, refer to the
Common Users Guide.
3.8
Smart3D Schema Browser Utility

This Smart3D Schema Browser utility is a very useful tool for checking the success of an intended
schema change and diagnosing problems with the Catalog schema. This tool is located in [Product
Directory]\Core\Tools\Administrator\Bin\MetaDataBrowser.exe.
3.9
Catalog Task
Avoid using the catalog task to make changes to the catalog database, as no easy mechanism exists
for exporting your changes from the catalog database back into a Microsoft Excel workbook.
10
Procedure
Changes to the catalog and reference data are grouped into five categories:
4.1
Reference data changes

Symbol definition changes
Catalog schema changes
Smart occurrence rule changes
Naming rule changes
Reference Data Changes

Reference data changes refer to data used to define the part definition, specifications, and other
reference data rules for placing the part occurrences. No single procedure exists to suit all
situations. However, to make successful reference data changes, we recommend the following
actions:

Examples of Piping Component Data Changes

The following illustrates example workflows for editing all aspect of a piping component in the
catalog. The objective is to ensure that you are aware of the necessary steps to perform the
catalog changes, as well ensuring that you know the effect synchronization has on the model. You
can therefore decide whether the catalog changes are safe. This sections primary focus is on
helping you to determine the change requires adding M, D or A at the beginning of the
record in the Excel sheet in order to apply the catalog changes using the bulkload utility.
5.1
Change Contractor Commodity Code in the Piping Commodity Filter sheet

Description: The contractor commodity code in the Piping Commodity Filter rule is not a property
used to create the unique ID definition of the record. You can therefore mark the existing record
as modified by adding the M character at the beginning of the record. For example, the new
requirement dictates the 1C0031 specification needs a new default contractor commodity for a
0.75-to 1.5-inch size range.

Change Reporting Type in the Piping Commodity Material Control Data sheet
Description: Occurrences attributes are those attributes that appear on the occurrence tab of the
object property page. If the piping designer has specified the value for the Reporting Type in the
3D model, the property value in the model will not be updated with the corresponding value in
the reference data during the synchronization process. Create a filter to select those objects that
the system must update, and then use the property page to type or select the correct value.

10 Examples of Bolt Data Changes

The following examples illustrate workflows for editing all aspects of the bolt data.
10.1 Change Bolt Commodity Code in the Bolt Selection Filter sheet
Description: The contractor commodity code in the Bolt Selection Filter rule is not a property used
to create the unique ID definition of the record. You can therefore mark the existing record as
modified by adding the M character at the beginning of the record. For example, the new
requirement dictates that the 1C0031 specification needs a new default gasket contractor
commodity for 0.75- to 36-inch size range.

10.6 Change Bolt Extension for Studs/Machine Bolts in the Bolt Extension sheet
Description: The bolt extension for studs/machine bolt in the Bolt Extension rule is not a property
as modified by adding the M character at the beginning of the record. For example, the correct
studs/machine bolt extension for a 6-inch nominal pipe diameter connection is 5 mm. However,
since the bolt extension rule is a plant rule, all affected bolted connection must be updated by the
synchronization process. You can do this by adding the M character at the beginning of the
record for all affected records in the Piping Generic Data Bolted sheet.

11 Examples of .NET Symbol Definition Changes

Symbol definition is a persistent object in the model database that holds the definition of the inputs
and outputs used to create the graphical representation of the object. This section lists some
31
recommendations for .NET symbol changes in such a way the persisted symbol definition and the
related data is not get corrupted in the model database.
11.1 Changing the Inputs of a Symbol Definition
The system currently requires a symbol to declare a set of inputs that creates a set of outputs.
Declaring an input includes defining the enumerated index, name, description, and the optional
property of that input. An example of the declaration of the inputs is shown below:
The following lists the types of input modifications that make the symbol definition invalid:
Index and name cannot be modified
Input type cannot be changed
An input cannot be deleted
An optional input cannot be made a mandatory input
New input added in the middle of existing inputs is not allowed
11.2 Changing the Outputs of a Symbol Definition

The system currently requires a symbol to declare each of the representations the software
generates. Declaring a representation includes defining the name, description, aspect id, and
the subroutine used to generate the outputs of that representation. For each representation,
the symbol must declare each of the outputs. Declaring an output includes defining the name
and description. An example of the declaration of the outputs follows below:
32
The following lists the types of output modifications that invalidate the symbol definition:
Name of an aspect cannot be modified
Aspect id cannot be changed
Aspect cannot be deleted
Name of an output of a static symbol cannot be modified
Output of a static symbol cannot be deleted
11.3 Changing Code for Generating Outputs of a Symbol Definition

The software requires a symbol to provide subroutines for generating the outputs for each
representation. Each output is created, initialized with some data, and added to the output
collection. When the code is changed in these subroutines, the name of the output must not
change when added to the output collection. An example code to generate the outputs follows
below:
Caution:
The symbol fails to update if an output is declared, but no actual output object with a
matching name is created.
The symbol fails to update if multiple output objects with the same name are found.

The rule to create the object unique ID definition for pipe parts and piping component parts is
driven by the PipingCmdtyCtlgPartNoBasisOpt option in the default project option rule.
If the PipingCmdtyCtlgPartNoBasisOpt option is set to 5, then the unique ID definition is a string
composed by concatenating the industry commodity code, npd sizes and schedules.
If the PipingCmdtyCtlgPartNoBasisOpt option is set to 10, then the unique ID definition is the
contractor commodity code from the piping commodity filter rule.
If the PipingCmdtyCtlgPartNoBasisOpt option is set to 15, then the unique ID definition is the client
commodity code from the piping commodity procurement data rule.
