Background

By default bill of material categorizes shop field and field weld material in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, however user may customize field material report under shop material.

Following steps will guide how to add field material under shop material.

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 entry INCLUDE=IE_FIELD=1 to include field components in same report as well.

    REPORT = SHP   
    # this to include only shop material
        INCLUDE = IE_FIELD = 0
        INCLUDE = IE_FIELD = 1
        EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE = CT_WELD

        COLUMN =  3: R : PARTID
        COLUMN = 19: C : QUANTITY
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE1
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE2
        COLUMN =  2:   :
        COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

        GROUP  = PARTID
        SORT   = PARTID:N
        SEP    = @ 
        SORTHEADERS = 1

        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        TEXT = @                       Shop Materials
        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        Write =
    END

  3. Comment Field material report line in combi report

    REPORT = combi
       WRITE = shp
       TEXT  = @
       TEXT  = @
       #WRITE = fld
       NODE = 60
    END

  4. Generate isometric and verify result.
