Hi Gents
I am looking for a method in OPM, when we placed a support location, is possible to catch the support number of the support location to the cell name? e.g. in element properties,
Cell Name = Name as shown the illustrated fig below, can you give some tips how can I make it? I know there maybe some function in class editor, it maybe can add some formula/expression.
I want the parameter "Cell Name" got the name as in OPM support location attribute automatically.

Hi You,
Thank you for raising your query in Bentley Plant Forum.
From the image, I understand that you want to update the value of Cell Name with Tag Information, while the cell name will remain constant based on the cell being used.
Can you please provide us the reason behind this requirement.

Hi Sir
The reason is because I found the model will always show as a name "Cell" in our review model tree, e.g. Navisworks.
but if I give a name to the cell, the cell name will be shown in the model tree, instead of "Cell".
But in this case we have define the cell name manually both in OPM TAG and Element properties. that is double work.
So I wondering if I can add some ECexpression etc within Class Editor, to let the Cell Name = TAG. that will be perfect!
Do you understand?

Hi Quanwu,
What I understand from your explanation that you want to bring OPM Model into Navisworks for review hence looking for Cell Name = Tag.
Is that correct or you have some different requirement?
Please comment.

Hi Rajesh Agrawal
Yes. Correct! To show the Tag from OPM in the model hierarchy is very important and it's quite useful.
Do you have any suggestion?
Cell Name is a Microstation property and OPM doesnt have control over it because its not available in OPM Schema. But if you try to rename the CellName from Element Info by Double Clicking the name "SP-3" it takes that name into your Cell Name property. So OPM is not doing a good job of reading the actual cell name and putting it on the Microstation Cell Name property. You can fix this by writing an MDL application which will 1) scan every component in the DGN 2) Read Its Name/TAG property 3) Write it on the Cell Name property.

can you show me some code for this? I just need a short sample and then I can deep in further myself.
If that possible?
