Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Octave Forte Isometrics is the rebranded and upgraded version of Intergraph SmartPlant Isometrics (also known as Smart Isometrics) from Hexagon. This new solution retains the full power of the Isogen® engine while delivering enhanced usability and broader integration capabilities.
Absolutely. It directly outputs accurate material takeoff (MTO) data automatically, with precision levels reaching 99%. This eliminates the manual material counting and ballooning processes traditionally required on design drawings.
Octave Forte Isometrics automatically generates isometric drawings from simple sketches in minutes, whereas AutoCAD 2D requires manual drafting and takes 4–8 hours per drawing. The software automatically inserts components (flanges, valves, gaskets), creates bills of materials, welding lists, and cut pipe schedules. Return on investment is typically achieved within 3–6 months.
Yes. Octave Forte Isometrics supports IDF and PCF formats — the standards used by virtually all leading plant design software. You can import engineered piping data from any Isogen-compliant system, including Intergraph Smart 3D, PDMS, SP3D, and more.
Yes. Octave Forte Isometrics interfaces piping report data with nearly any downstream IT system, including material management, procurement, workshop, and weld management systems, as well as Intergraph Smart Materials, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Excel/Access-based platforms, and legacy systems — all via open APIs.
