Background

When pipe is having rolled offset, Angle between Pipe and ISO axis is required in isometric to understand the dimension between vertical and horizontal axis. This should work in context with both OpenPlant Modeler-OpenPlant Isometric Manager & AutoPLANT Modeler-OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However below has been illustrated in context with AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Go to current project location. Refer following example project path for default Metric project.
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC
  2. Open "Style.xml" file in Notepad.
  3. Search for <Skew> and Change <ShowAngles>False>ShowAngels> to <ShowAngles>True>ShowAngels>


  4. Save the file and generate isometric to review the result. See image below.
