Background

In AutoPLANT Modeler or OpenPlant Modeler's generated Isometric, spool ends type (SW, BW, PL, SCREWED) information is important for fabrication purpose. By default ends type information is not populated in Isometric cut list, but following steps will guide how to add end types in cut list.

Steps To Accomplish

  1. Navigate to the project path and open required style's "config" folder in which all style's configuration files are stored. By default this folder can be found at these locations:

    For OpenPlant Modeler
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

    For AutoPLANT Modeler
    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config

  2. Open report.def file and add two new COLUMN entries to show "CM1" and "CM2" attributes.
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # The CUT report lists the pipe cut pieces
    # Attaches to text node 61
    #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    REPORT = CUT
        INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_PIPE|CT_BEND
        COLUMN  = 5:C:CUTID
        COLUMN  = 6:R:SIZE1
        COLUMN  = 16:R:QUANTITY
        COLUMN  = 10:R:
        COLUMN  = 20:W:IE_DESCRIPT
        COLUMN  = 10:W:CM1
        COLUMN  = 10:W:CM2
        GROUP   = CUTID
        SORT    = CUTID
        NODE    = 61
    END

  3. Generate isometric and verify result.
