I'm engaged in a project where I'm working on designing of conveyors. The conveyor ranges from 10 meters to 25 meters long. I have to design a plant layout where I will be using 5-6 conveyors. Now if I design the complete conveyor system, the file become very heavy and there are too many details which will have to be made just for plant layout hence a time consuming job. At present the other people are using AutoCAD for the same purpose. They use blocks to design the plant layout which is not much time consuming. But the task what I have been given is do the same in the 3D.
Now I need suggestions/ ideas from everyone. I'm thinking of designing the full conveyor systems in single part using excels tables/ configurations and then call the different types of conveyors (made individually as single part but with varying dimensions, means 1 single part for each type of conveyor) in the assembly and mate them as per requirements.
What you suggest for the same.
Thanks & Regards
