Pipe Bend description

Greetings,

Just trying to modify the description for pipe bends in openplant connect edition, they currently match the description of the pipe and i want to change this. I am just unsure which tool to use to change the description for the bends.

Regards

  • Hello Callum,

    just for introduction purposes and general information: by standard a pipe bend is a bended piece of pipe by manufacturing and it takes the description from this class. But I guess you already know and know it better than me...

    The problem is that for PIPE_BEND-class the description property is set to be read-only. In order to make description property editable you need to change status in the xml-Schema. Please use Bentley Class Editor to do so (not in OpenPlant Project Administrator itself):

    • In Class Editor, open OpenPlant_3D-schema
    • Supplement OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling- & OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingViews-schema
    • Search for PIPE_BEND-class and select DESCRIPTION-property
    • Add custom attribute Property Display Status (to override definition coming from parental class to avoid pipe segment or other class become editable as well) and apply custom attribute to OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingViews-schema
    • set the status accordingly and save your work

    Make sure to restart OP Modeler after changing. Hope it helps.
