Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D 2024

Create and edit P&IDs and 3D models, and extract piping orthographics and isometrics with an industry-specific toolset for plant design.

With the Plant 3D toolset, you can:

• Collaborate securely in a cloud-based common data environment  
• Speed up and automate P&ID drafting and 3D modeling with in-context commands  
• Automatically create piping isometric drawings directly from the 3D model

Plant 3D toolset features

Speed up your work with the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset

Collaboration for Plant 3D - Collaborate on plant design models across project teams and maintain compliance requirements—all in a cloud-based common data environment.

Quick P&ID drafting - Use in-context AutoCAD commands to make P&ID drafting easier.

Industry-standard symbol libraries - The Plant 3D toolset is delivered with standard symbol libraries in the tool palettes. These include PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, and JIS.

Data validation - Quickly identify possible errors by scanning P&IDs for data consistency according to user-definable rules.

Rapid plant modeling in 3D - Quickly create 3D plant models using parametric equipment modeling, structural steel libraries, and project-specific piping specifications using industry standard piping catalogs. (video: 1:26 min.)

Parametric equipment templates - Create and edit equipment using parametric templates to help you build plant layouts faster.

Structural modeling - Lay out structures, stairs, ladders, and railings using industry-standard steel sections including AISC, CISC, and DIN.

Create project-specific piping specs - Customize piping specifications to meet project-specific requirements. Include industry-standard components as well as customized components.
