Topworks Angle

How to implement TOPWORK_ANGLE in AutoPlacement of topworks in OpenPlant Modeler CE?

Parents
  • Hi Peter, 

    Can you elaborate this issue ins some steps which you wanted to achieve?

    Is this all about modifying the angle for topworks once placement is done? please clarify so that we could assist you in best possible ways. 

    HTH,

  • When placing a :

    • Wrench type operator, we are able to orient it during placement, both along pipe, and transverse to pipe.
    • Gearbox operator we are able to rotate it along pipe, but not transverse to pipe.

    Changing angle in modify component has no effect. 

    TOPWORK_ANGLE is currently populated in Valve table of cat & Spec

    Changing this value also has no effect

    Image showing default placement of BV w Gearbox, default placement.

    Rotating manually works, but is cumbersome if we have an Offset of Handle (OFFSET_X) set to other than 0.
