Problem Description

Sometimes in Specification Generator olet section doesn't show all sizes for a particular olet class which are available in catalog. For example, catalog has sockolet sizes ranging from 3/8" to 48" but olet section in Specification Generator sizes are displayed only up to 36" and hence sockolets can't be added to Branch Table. See below snapshot.

Reason

This type of issues generally arise due to spec filter. When spec filter is added to the spec, it somehow limits the sizes beyond 36" and therefore user cannot see all the sizes.

Steps to Resolve

  1. Launch OpenPlant Specification Generator from desktop.



  2. Select Product and your project from the drop down menus as shown.



  3. Locate OLET section and turn off "Spec Filtering" option.



  4. Check the sizes from drop down menu. It displays all the sizes now.



  5. Now open "Branch Table Editor" and add a sockolet for size 42" X 1/2" to verify the results.
