• Act as first point of contact for all S3D issues and concerns, maintaining regular contact with users in the host and satellite offices.
• Create additional project-specific surface style rules and filters not delivered in the standard environment.
• Monitor the 3D model for S3D data integrity and its referenced data.
• Monitor the daily backup, IFC and work-share replication processes, and perform partial restores of plant and catalogue data when required.
• Create SmartPlant Review (SPR) sessions and generate model reviews per project requirements.
• Keep designers current on SP3D procedures and practices through project bulletins and meetings.
• Coordinate the work-share transfer of drawings between host and site offices.
