WFile 3D Conversion

Convert legacy PlantWALK 3D PASCE PlantVIEW models to modern CAD formats.

Modernize your legacy model format using our custom conversion service. Share your designs with your project team and your customers using any application that can read modern CAD files such as AutoDesk's NavisWorks or Trimble's SketchUp. Avoid re-modeling your process plant and embed your legacy model into your CAD system as reference objects for retrofit projects.

What We Do

We convert your 3D WFile output into one of several CAD formats:

  • DWF - Design Web Format
  • DWG - Drawing Format
  • DXF - Drawing Exchange Format
  • SKP - SketchUp Format

How We Do It

We work with you to guide you through the process of creating the WFile.

Create PlantVIEW DLIST(s) for hierarchy objects:

  • Adjust color settings
  • Adjust arc tolerance settings
  • Select catalog levels

Generate PlantWALK WFile(s) using DLIST(s)

Transmit WFile(s) to OnApplied

Once we have access to your WFile(s) we convert it for you:

  • Merge WFiles
  • Convert 3D objects to neutral format
  • Subdivide polygons to triangular faces and quads
  • Group polygons into common object layers
  • Map colors to layer color.
  • Instance groups into 3D space
  • Rename object names into type prefixed layer names
  • Convert neutral format to desired CAD format
  • Validate target format
  • Transmit new translated CAD file to You

As an optional service, we can also embed external 3D models to provide familiar references to create a realistic sense of scale for your review model:

  • Construction Workers
  • Construction Equipment
    • Crane
    • Bobcat
  • Transportation Equipment
    • Fork Truck
    • Tanker Truck & Cab
