What is AutoCAD Plant 3D?
AutoCAD Plant 3D is 3D CAD plant design software from Autodesk, included as one of seven specialized toolsets with AutoCAD. Plant designers and engineers use it to create P&IDs, model piping, equipment, and support structures in 3D, and generate isometric and orthographic drawings from the model, all driven by project piping specs.
It's used for process plant design and plant engineering in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, water and wastewater, power, and food and beverage. Autodesk reports productivity gains of up to 74% on common process plant design tasks with the toolset.
AutoCAD Plant 3D Features
P&ID Drafting
Create piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) faster with in-context commands, standard symbol libraries (PIP, ISA, ISO/DIN, JIS), and data validation.
3D Piping Design
Model piping quickly from piping catalogs and project-specific specs, with routing tools built for plant layouts.
Equipment Modeling
Build plant equipment layouts faster with parametric equipment templates.
Structural Steel, Stairs, and Ladders
Lay out support structures, stairs, ladders, and railings using AISC, CISC, and DIN steel sections.
Isometric and Orthographic Drawings
Generate piping isometrics and orthographic drawings directly from the 3D model; they update as the model changes.
Spec-Driven Design
Manage project-specific piping specifications with the Spec Editor, so every pipe, fitting, and valve follows the spec.
Collaborate on Plant 3D Projects in the Cloud
Plant 3D runs on the desktop as part of AutoCAD. For online collaboration, teams share Plant 3D projects in a cloud-based common data environment through Autodesk Forma Design Collaboration (formerly BIM Collaborate Pro), so engineers and contractors in different offices work on the same project.
