Led by industry expert Irene Radcliffe, the course provides a deep dive into setting up, managing, and enforcing standards across Plant 3D projects. It is distinct from user-focused training, which typically covers creating P&IDs, modeling steel, or routing piping; this course is about the "behind-the-scenes" work that ensures a multi-user project runs smoothly and adheres to company standards.
The administrator initiates a project using the palette, selecting a project template (e.g., standard, metric, or imperial). Key settings include:
Different designers might use varying naming conventions for valves, instruments, or pipelines, leading to chaotic Bill of Materials (BOM) reporting.

Plant 3D relies on hierarchical class definitions. If you want to add a custom property—like "Supplier" or "Inspection Date"—to all valves, you must add it at the engineering item level. This property then automatically cascades down to hand valves, control valves, and check valves. 3. Catalog and Specification Management
Understanding how the software categorizes objects like pumps or valves. Project Paths:
