Background

While working on 2D/3D consistency checker issue, there is a warning sign on the pipeline node which indicates the inconsistency in component data even though the properties match.

Steps to Accomplish

This issue occurs mostly when a component is placed from the component task bars rather than from the consistency checker itself. To Identify the cause follow the steps below.

1. Go to Utilities> Key-In Command and apply key-in command "mechaddinccreport".
   
   
   
   
2. In the Consistency checker report dialog box, give the file name to save the report and click Generate Report.
   
   
   
   
3. In the report viewer dialog, expand Modified Instances node and then expand MAJOR_PIPELINE node. Select pipeline to check the inconsistency.
   
   
   
   
4. As shown in the above picture the inconsistency is due to the mismatch of GUID. When we create pipeline from Consistency Checker tree GUID will be inherited from 2D data coming from an I-model whereas if the same pipeline is created within OpenPlant Modeler, a new GUID is assigned to it which causes the mismatch.
   
   
5. If you do not wish to include the GUID for consistency check, you can turn it off by following the steps below
   1. Launch Class editor and load OpenPlant_Supplemental_ConsistencyChecker schema.
   2. On BENTLEY_BASE_OBJECT class, select GUID property.
   3. Set "IsSharedProperty" to FALSE and save the schema.
      
      
      
      
   4. The above change will ignore the GUID property when using consistency checker in OpenPlant Modeler.
