Each chapter expanded in detail to describe every single step so that the user/readers understand the concepts and the software tools: E.g. Chapter 6, Creating SmartPlant(R) P&IDs
You can expand your skills into master level where SmartPlant P&ID customization is required. Here is the example chapter where user can create new symbols. E.g. Chapter 11, Creating New Symbols

User can unleash the power of the P&ID tool to generate engineering deliverables that are traditionally generated using hand marked redlines. Here is the example of HAZOP P&IDs with different color coded for each HAZOP nodes. E.g. Chapter 28, Creating Color-coded HAZOP Nodes
