Export Menu

This menu is available for any subproject once you have created a new project, or opened an existing one. The Export drop-down menu allows you export various content from your project as shown in the following menu:

Shapes

Selecting Shapes wil display the sub menu of Shape Export options for you as shown below:

GeoJSON (lat/long)

This Function will export all Shapes on the stage in the current sub-project in GeoJSON file format along with the shape coordinates in lat/long format.

File Name - Allows you to change the export file name if desired.

Export meta data - Check this option if the export file should contain associated meta data.

Export only public meta data - Check this option if the export file should contain only the public meta data associated.

Export only standard meta data - Check this option if the export file should contain only the standard meta data associated.

Filter meta data by tags - If meta data has associated tags you can select it from the drop down list to limit the export.

Simplify Connection - Check this box to enable simplification of the imported connection(s) e.g. based on the Tolerance given below we will eliminate points for very detailed connections. This function uses the Ramer-Douclas-Peucker algorithm for this purpose.

Tolerance - Enter the tolerance value for performing the simplification algorithm if this option is checked above.

Press Ok to export or Cancel

This dialog allows you to select the various general export options:

• Include Header - Check this option to include a descriptive header of the included columns you choose to export e.g. "x,y,z, distance, cumulativeDistance".

• Export Measured Length, this will add a column after the x,y,z coordinates that has the distance of measured length of the connection(s). You will also have a column for the accumulated distance added.

• Separator - If you like you can change the column separator character from the default ";" to a comma or something else to support other programs that will ingest the exported file.

Then the following options are available For connection(s):

• Export control points - If you check this option an additional file will be saved to your download folder with the control points for the connection(s) e.g. any additional points you have created on the connection.

• Sample every - Enter a numerical values in meters for the sample frequence when exporting control points.

• Simplify export - When you export a connection it can be comprised of very high number of individual points that may be to much detail for what you need in FieldTwin Design. Use this option together with the simplify tolerance value to eliminate points along the connection. This function uses the Ramer-Douclas-Peucker algorithm for this purpose.

• Simplify tolerance - This value defines the tolerance unit value for elimination of individual points for the imported connection if Simplify export option is checked. E.g. if the tolerance value is 1 for the unit e.g. meters then any extra individual points within 1 meter tolerance will be eliminated from the export.

Export - Press this button the export the file(s) to your download folder.

Generate Schematic

The new Schematic Generator gives users the option to control how a schematic layout can be generated. It's using an algorithm for optimised schematic layout which considers various user input settings, See the illustration below where we have selected an asset from Project View to be the starting point for the schematic generation namely FutureOn FPSO. If no asset is selected the system will pick one.

The exported schematic will be saved as a SVG file that you can view in other application or import into e.g. MS Visio for further editing.

• Export Name - Enter the file name to save the schematic with as a SVG file. The file will be saved in your Download folder.

• Layout Direction - Select from Down, Right, Up, or Left as the direction to generate the schematic from.

• Line Type - Select from Orthogonal, Curved1, Curved2, or Straight for different line rendering options.

• Tags - If tags are defined you can select to either Exclude or Include them for the schematic from the drop down list.

• Types - Select the connection types you want to either Exclude or Include for the schematic from the drop down list.

• Categories - Select the categories you want to either Exclude or Include for the schematic from the drop down list.

• Remove PLETs - This will remove any PLET's assets from the schematic. Note! It only removes PLETs that have specifically two (2) connections. The connections need to be of the same color for the PLET to get removed.

• Fix Socket Positions - Check this option to generate connection points in their actual position. If not it will be shown in a layout optimised position.

• Use Connection Directions - This will set the direction of flow on pipelines.

• Show Empty Sockets - Enable this option to display empty (unused) connection points. This is useful to identify future possibilities.

• Show Arrows - Toggle arrows on or off on all connections.

• Enable outlines - This will enable rendering of outlines around connections when generating the schematic.

• Use Legacy - Choice to use the legacy schematic generator from version 6.x.

Export - Press this button to export the schematic as a SVG file to the download folder.

Cancel - Press this button to cancel and exit back to the application.
