Plant 3D 2011, Modeling as-built pipes from laser scan data

This video tutorial is demonstrating how to easily model the as built conditions of a process plant with the help of AutoCAD Plant 3D and FARO Laser Scanner data.
In a simple example it shows how to fit pipes into the point cloud and how to attach a suitable flange to the as-built CAD model of the pipe run.

@wannabflautist Check out the Autodesk Plant Exchange website. You can import Inventor models into Plant 3D using the AEC Exchange via the .ADSK file format. It will retain your existing nozzle information from the Inventor model.

Hi,

We need to insert Inventor parts into Autocad Plant 3d. Could you come up with a SOLUTION AS EARLY AS POOSSIBLE? I appreciate your urgent help in advance. Please put up a video that shows how to insert "iges" "stp" etc (industry standard 3d) into Autocad Plant 3d.Is there any other way so that we can insert these iges/ stp from autodesk Inventor into Autocad Plant 3d without any data loss? I've lots of tanks vessels & other process equipments to be inserted from Inventor & ProE etc
