To set Pipeline colors according to the service and level according to the pipeline name is a frequent asked and used technique. Use the steps below to achieve this in OpenPlant Modeler.
OpenPlant component symbology is managed in the typical Microstation fashion. It is controlled through a combination of Named Expressions (used to read attributes and assign the Element Templates accordingly) and Element Templates (where symbology is defined for the elements identified by the Named Expression).
OP_SYMBOLOGY_PIPING:"BY_LEVEL_AND_TEMPLATE:" & PIPELINE.NAME & ":OpenPlant\Piping\" & PIPELINE.SERVICE_NAME & ":Model"
OP_SYMBOLOGY_PIPING_CENTERLINE:"BY_LEVEL_AND_TEMPLATE:" & PIPELINE.NAME & ":OpenPlant\Piping\" & PIPELINE.SERVICE_NAME & ":Centerline"
OP_SYMBOLOGY_PIPING_INSULATION:"BY_LEVEL_AND_TEMPLATE:" & PIPELINE.NAME & ":OpenPlant\Piping\" & PIPELINE.SERVICE_NAME & ":Insulation"
