🔥 What’s New in SolidPlant 3D 2025.1?

🧠 Smarter P&ID to 3D Synchronization

SolidPlant 2025.1 takes P&ID integration to the next level. The enhanced bidirectional link between P&ID diagrams and 3D models ensures real-time synchronization of process data, line numbers, equipment tags, and instrumentation. This minimizes manual rework and improves data consistency throughout the project.

🚀 Advanced Auto-Routing & Pipe Management

The new AutoPipe Engine delivers intelligent pipe routing based on specification rules, elevation controls, and collision detection. Designers can now complete complex piping layouts significantly faster while maintaining high accuracy. The software automatically manages pipe runs, connections, insulation, and support placement.

🏗️ Expanded Equipment & Structural Libraries

SolidPlant 2025.1 adds hundreds of new components including:

• ASME/ANSI-compliant valves and fittings

• Pumps, vessels, and compressors with parametric design

• Steel members following AISC/EN standards (I-beams, C-channels, angles, etc.)

• New customizable nozzles, flanges, and pipe supports

📐 Faster Drawing Generation Tools

Create orthographic, isometric, and section drawings with just a few clicks. The improved drawing module automatically pulls annotation, dimensioning, and material lists from your 3D model, reducing documentation time by up to 70%.

🤝 Improved Multi-user Collaboration

With upgraded project sharing and data locking, multiple users can work on large-scale plant models simultaneously without risking data overwrites. Version 2025.1 includes enhanced support for network environments and improved file management protocols.

🧾 Integrated BOM and Report Management

Generate real-time Bill of Materials, pipe cut-length reports, weld maps, and material take-offs directly from the model. Export to Excel, PDF, or custom formats for procurement and fabrication workflows.

🧩 IFC Export & BIM Workflow Compatibility

Now featuring full IFC export capabilities, SolidPlant 2025.1 integrates seamlessly with BIM software such as Autodesk Revit®, Navisworks®, and Tekla®. Perfect for coordination with architects, civil engineers, and construction teams.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5
SolidPlant 3D 2025.1 exceeded our expectations.
As a plant design engineer, I found the new P&ID sync, AutoPipe routing, and IFC export features to be major upgrades. It integrates perfectly with SolidWorks and streamlines 3D piping and structural modeling. Fast, accurate, and BIM-ready—this version is a must-have for any serious plant design workflow.

Performance is excellent, even on large-scale models, and the drawing generation module (orthos, isos, and BOMs) is more stable and refined than in previous versions.

Overall, this release is a big leap forward. If you’re serious about plant design in SolidWorks, this is the solution to invest in. Highly recommended.
