My OP piping is being placed in the model using service codes, the levels are being created successfully. When I place a valve, the valve is being placed on the correct service level however the topworks are being incorrectly placed on the active level. How do I ensure the topworks are being placed on the same level as the valves and piping? Do I need to create new Named Expressions and Element Classes?
Hello Jason,
How you are placing pipes in the model using service codes? I can't understand what codes you are using to place pipelines? What Valve are you placing? in screenshot I can see info about Flange and its level. Same with Topwork, which is a VBF-101 WRENCH\Cone?I have tried in out of the box environment and when I place standard valve with Topwork, then I can see it on same level.
I assume you might be right regarding Named Expressions and I don't think you need to create new Expression, editing existing OP_SYMBOLGY_PIPING might be enough. This article contains very much sub-articles about how to edit named expression and how to get various results.https://communities.bentley.com/products/plant/w/plant_design_and_engineering__wiki/4870/named-expressions-managing-component-symbology-in-openplant-modeler
I hope this information will be useful. Please let me know if you need additional help on this topic or if you have other concerns/questions.
