So it’s not really possible to accurately cost a process design until a preliminary 3D design has been completed, since the P&ID does not reflect the actual components that are required. It is common practice to define non-specific process data in a P&ID and then define the physical, mechanical data in the corresponding 3D model – usually through the Piping Catalog and Spec. At design time, data attached to the P&ID symbol may be copied into the 3D model but there is no link from the 3D model back to the P&ID. Although AutoCAD P&ID is included within AutoCAD Plant 3D, there is no ‘live’ link between the process data attached to a symbol in a P&ID and the 3D representation of that symbol in the Plant 3D model.
