Changing the Look of Parametric Symbols in OPM

Hi All

Is it possible to change the way OpenPlant Modeller draws the parametric symbols.  In PlantSpace design series you could change the rule files to get a different look and also create some unique components.

We do a lot of work in the food and beverage industry and have to deal with unions as separate parts: Male, Nuts Liner and Gasket.  The unions also look different they are not the typical hex shape, but round.

How is the symbols shape controlled and can one edit this?

Thank you very much

  • Hello Spyker,

    Each of the visual plant components class in OpenPlant does have a Creation Attribute custom attribute (usually in Supplemental_Modeling schema) which controls how is that component placed. In it you can set which of the assemblies (dll files) and which class in that assembly is used to draw that component. Technically, you can override the default setting with your custom assembly/draw class, but you'll need a specific knowledge to create that assembly, and I believe there is no SDK yet available for OpenPlant.

    So, technically it is possible, but I believe you should contact Bentley Professional Services for this kind of customization at the moment.

    Hope this helps,
