Appendix B: Release to 3D and the Schematic Database

Schematic Model Manager release related behavior is designed to provide a method of controlling AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator's access to schematic data. AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator may only take data from the schematic database for inclusion in a PDMS 3D Model, when that data has been released.

Elements of the following type may have release related behaviors applied to them:

• SCOINS

• SCEQUI

• SCSEG

Other element types are not displayed by the AVEVA Schematic 3D Integrator.

In addition, if the descendants of a schematic element may be of one or more of the above types, then release related actions may be initiated from the parent (such as a Release or Un-Release). In these cases release related actions will operate on the children (that can be released) of the parent.

Schematic elements which may be parents are:

• Schematic WORL*

• SCGROU

• SCPLIN

In addition to these elements, release related actions may also be initiated from SCDIAG elements. This carries out the release action on all elements (that can be released) contained on the diagram which corresponds to the SCDIAG element.

Release related information about elements of the types SCOINS, SCEQUI and SCSEG is stored in the following attributes of those elements:
