However, Mech-Q’s isometric pipe module will allow you to input not-to-scale controlled dimensions if required. It is also helpful for field sketches or initial planning stages where detailed measurements are not required. A 3D model will accurately depict all the pipe sizes and how they connect to other components. On the other hand, 3D piping provides a detailed and accurate representation of the project. This quick and rough visualization option is comparable to a napkin sketch.
The ISO drawing can focus on the layout, fittings, or weld location. It’s a simple and easy-to-use 2D representation of the pipe route. Mech-Q 2D ISO SoftwareĢD ISO piping is commonly used for field sketches, weld mapping, or when scaling is not a concern. ISO piping is easier to learn and use, making it suitable for beginners who want to draw the schematic in a flat plan view.
Mech-Q provides the tools to create ISO, Double Line, and 3D piping drawings, allowing users to choose what works for them best.īoth ISO piping and 2D/3D piping have their advantages and disadvantages. Our pipe drawing software offers three approaches to input: ISO, Double Line, and 3D piping. Mech-Q Suite is included free in AViCAD Std and AViCAD Plus!
