Hi,
I'm having a quality issue with the way pipe offsets are shown in Openplant. It's very cluttered. Is there any way I can have it so the offset is shown above it with the dimensions for the offset, to keep it out of the way, like the way it would be done if hand-drawn? Or are there setting I can adjust to improve it perhaps? Thanks
Hello Sean,
Thanks for Posting your Query on Plant forum.
First I want to know version of OpenPlant Isometric Manager you are using.
Yes, you can modify scaling of Elbow where you are getting bunch of dimensions. Refer Example 5 of below WIKI link to achieve same.
Add below Rule in Overrides.txt file present in your style config folder.
Example #5: I want bigger bends in a specific colorRULEINCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_ELBOWSCALE = 4COLOR = 2
WIKI to Refer:
Hope this helps.

Hi Abhilash,
Thank you for your reply.
We are using Version: 08.11.09.470
I added the following text to the Overrides file but there was no difference when I re-ran the iso:
# bigger bendsRULEINCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_BENDSCALE = 6
(I tried scale=4 first and it was the same)
There's no way of modifying the layout of the symbol so? I would like something like this:
(I edited the dwg file to do this)
Hi Sean,
Please confirm whether you are using Bend or Elbow, in WIKI it was mention for bend but I think you are using Elbow.
So Rule will be IE_TYPE=CT_ELBOW instead of CT_BEND, for that reason only I have written Rule including Elbow in previous reply.
Hope this help!
Thank you. It worked when I changed to ELBOW and the spacing has improved.
Kind Regards,
Sean
Thanks Sean to Confirm.
In many clutter situation, you could use overrides to get more clear iso's
