Designing the site for oil separation
-
Great job Redfox11. That is the kind of drawings I would love to learn how to do!!! Please do show more.

So this is designed to be functional? I mean, each pipe in the model has a specific function, not there just for show?
Yes, this is functional model, I made it for purpose of oil separation. I used flow chart and pipe and instrumentation diagram ( i took part in design of this object). My oil and gas department (where i work) isn
t large and we havent money for expensive Autoplant or PDS so I desided to use free SketchUp to design piping and equipment. -

Now, just one more dumb question and then I'll leave you alone - what is "oil separation"? Separating the various grades of oil?

Shortly - we need to separate well fluids produced from oil and gas wells into gaseous and liquid components.
Separation can be carried out in several stages. You may burn the resulting gas or you may prepare it and use as fuel for electric station. -

What kind of drawings are you supplying? Structural or piping? Got any examples?
I`m both piping and mechanical engineer so my job is to suply drawings of piping.
But to find collisions I need structural drawings, so in this model I used help of structure engineers from my department.I can show some examples of final drawings, which I received by 2D export from SketchUp in AutoCAD. The application of the text, dimensioning, I performed in AutoCAD.

wow the model is so big and complicated! well done

Excellent work

Nice job on the pipe work mate, I know myself just how hard this would be without the option of SU and NOT end up with an issue somewhere!
Reminds me of a job given to me as a drafty and still a teenager. I had to do all the layout drawings, pipework, steel fabrication, concete and reo details and scheduling and ALL BY HAND and with just drawing board and calculator - problem was the project was 4 cylindrical tanks with conicle roofs and octagonal walkways / access around the top and landing on the cone. BY HAND WT_? For a kid! Talk about thrown in the deep end!

Excellent, Excellent!
Great to see your work.
Given your subject matter you might look at other methods of rendering, ala
Iakov Tchernikov...Peter
Wow - I'd love to see that too!

it must have been worth the effort in 2012? was Layout not available for the 2D layout. Wonder how the data associated with the entities were managed. Was it pluggins and ruby script?

Holy cow that is some impressive work!
