: The structures application allows for creating standard or custom-thickness plates and defining drawing age defaults for how they appear in drafts. Aveva E3D 3.1 - How to Export E3d Model to RVM
AVEVA E3D 3.1 is an designed to handle complex capital projects. Unlike generic drafting tools, E3D stores structural, piping, and equipment data within a robust unified database system. This single source of truth ensures that multi-discipline global teams can execute error-free designs concurrently without overwriting each other's work.
Thanks to real-time clash detection, designers can catch interference between pipes, structures, and equipment before construction begins.
This version is designed to support the transition toward digital twins, providing a data-centric environment where multi-discipline teams can collaborate on a single source of truth. Key Innovations in Version 3.1 aveva e3d 3.1
: An interactive 3D design environment that now supports large coordinate modeling and extended color highlighting.
Comprehensive modeling of frameworks, plates, walls, and floors.
Perhaps more transformative is the cloud-based laser point cloud functionality introduced in version 3.1.5. This release enabled access to cloud-hosted Laser Point Cloud data via AVEVA Connect. To support this, a new "Create Cloud Point Cloud" option was added to the Access button within the Point Cloud group. When using point cloud datasets in the cloud, a batch cloud clashing mode becomes available, which sends multiple elements to the AVEVA Point Cloud Manager for simultaneous clash detection, significantly reducing processing time. : The structures application allows for creating standard
: Version 3.1 is optimized for AVEVA Connect, the company’s industrial cloud platform. This enables global teams to access the project environment securely from any location, facilitating remote work and global project execution. Impact on Project Lifecycle
: The primary engine for drawing production, where drawings are populated directly from the 3D database. Changes in the 3D model are automatically reflected in these drawings to maintain accuracy. Space Management (v3.1.4.0+)

Verdict
: The software allows for real-time collaboration between piping, structural, electrical, and instrumentation teams. By working in a single, shared database, the risk of data silos is virtually eliminated.
