  • Nozzle Intelligence – size, spec, rating, facing, line number
  • Tag Number
  • Project Information
  • Insulation Thickness
  • Reporting
    • Equipment Lists
    • Nozzle Takeoff
  • P&ID Information
  • Equipment Specific Data Fields (e.g. vessel head, saddle, ladder info)

Stuctural

  • Shape data - cross sectional information
  • Dimensional data
  • Positional data
  • Nuts and bolts - count and position
  • Material Reporting
    • Material Quantities
    • Bill of Materials
    • Material Take-Off
  • Interference Detection
