How can a Plant 3D model become native E3D data?
Plant 3D geometry can be exchanged quickly, but engineering teams need more than a visual reference. They need structured E3D objects that remain usable in their target environment.
The usual approaches
IFC export and generic primitives
An IFC import restores the model visually. Generic primitives do not provide the E3D logic needed for editing, deliverables, or synchronization.
Manual remodelling
Teams can rebuild the model in E3D. This consumes time and introduces avoidable inconsistencies.
ModelSwap: a structured conversion workflow
ModelSwap rebuilds native, structured E3D objects from Plant 3D data. It aligns the result with your E3D standards and specifications.
How ModelSwap works
ModelSwap maps Plant 3D geometry and data to native E3D objects.
