Re: Piping spool number and isometric break

My question was not which Iso system but which 3d piping system. Note the comment about half of Isogen actually being the inyterface developed by the 3d system (AutoPLANT, PDS, etc).

A common problem with 'pup' pieces is typically caused by disconnects. Unlike some systems AutoPLANT will actually generate multiple PCF files when there's a disconnect. Most will pass the disconnects to Isogen and allow Isogen to report the error. Commonly in AutoPLANT this is caused by users changing the line number of the fittings but leaving the welds on the old line number. When you break the isos by line number this creates a problem.

Rich, isn't Isogen the iso generation program for most 3D piping software?

Regarding Al's comment about pup pieces showing up on individual isos, I seem to remember something (~6 years ago) about connectivity in AutoPlant causing this sort of thing. Maybe that's not an issue any more.

What maximum size is everyone using for shipping - 10'x10'x40'? What about "field shops", I.E., a pre-fab shop that is located at the construction site. Surely the maximum envelope can be somewhat bigger in those cases.
