1.2 Licensing
All AVEVA Review 12.0.SP2 software requires access to a licensing file provided by the Flexman 4.1
application and loaded by the install wizard. The licence file can be stored on a networked server with
client access, a networked workstation with client access, or on the workstation on which the AVEVA
Review 12.0.SP2 software is currently loaded.
The reason for storing the licence file on a server or shared workstation is that it allows maximum user
flexibility, while minimising the number of licences that must be leased.
1.3 Compatibility
AVEVA Review 12.0.SP2 is compatible with:
AVEVA Review Share 1.2.SP2
Page 6 of 24

12.0.SP5 are compatible with AVEVA Review 12.0.SP2.
Export colour, insulation and obstruction volume support requires models exported from AVEVA Plant
12.0.SP5 and AVEVA Hull & Outfitting 12.0.SP5.
Reviews database connection tools require access to an installation of AVEVA Plant or AVEVA Hull
& Outfitting versions 12.0.SP3 or later. No additional licenses are required.

2 Introduction
2.1 About AVEVA Review
AVEVA Review is a powerful 3D visualisation tool for large complex plant and marine models. With
features such as walk-through, animation, and high-quality photo-realistic images, AVEVA Review lets
you analyse designs and communicate complex ideas easily.

The processing of the files is fully automatic and requires no user interaction. Once converted these
3D CAD models can be streamed into the Review observer view alongside other streamed and nonstreamed models, in exactly the same way as streamed rvm and rvz files.
Model hierarchy information is preserved and can be viewed using Reviews Streamable Model
Explorer, where it can be used to highlight or navigate to elements within the 3D view.
As well as providing greater support for the visualisation of 3rd party model formats this new capability
can also be used to replace the generic representation of components within the rvm model, such as
a pump or vessel, with a highly detailed manufacturer supplied CAD model of the component.
Note: The quality of the resulting streamed model and the level of detail in the hierarchy can vary
dependent on the source format.

The composite model and view state information, including materials and animation paths, can be
saved to a single compressed rvz file for archiving or distribution. Providing the ReviewShare Server
hosting the streamed models is accessible to the client machine the composite scene is quickly
recreated when the rvz is opened.
Multiple composite views can also be captured to a ReviewShare rvf document using the
ReviewShare Viewer add-in within Review. Since the streamed models are already published to the
ReviewShare server there is no additional processing required and the streamed models are instantly
available for mark-up, comment and distribution.
An additional benefit of capturing the composite view to an rvf document is that the user can utilise the
extensive ReviewShare Viewer tools, for example to dimension between the various models in the
view or apply sectioning to the scene.

AVEVA ReviewShare 1.2.SP2 has also been enhanced to support the colour, translucency, insulation
and obstruction volume representation rules when capturing models from Review 12.0.SP2.

Figure 14: The new Texture Browser and Texture Library in Review 12.0.SP2
The Texture Library is available within Review through the new Texture Browser control which is
accessed via the Material Palette. The Texture Browser allows the user to add and remove system
folders to the texture library, automatically scanning subfolders for compatible image files (png and
bmp files). Individual folders can be selected to make it easy to locate the required texture. A preview
window displays resizable thumbnail images of each texture in the selected folders.
To apply a texture to the model the user must first create a Review material. This can be done either
by selecting a texture from the Texture Browser and applying it to an existing material, or by selecting
a texture and using it to create a new material. Once the material has been created it can be further
modified for colour, size, specular highlighting and environment map/reflection effects using the
standard Review material editing controls.
