How to Add PIECE_MARK Information for All Components in Isometrics BOM List

Overview

For OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Bill of Material, desired attributes can be added/modified using Report.def file present in Config folder located in its project root. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant.

Problem Description

PIECE_MARK information only shows for reducers/Pipes and valves. To facilitate the same information on other fittings/components/Fasteners/Etc, user needs to modify schema through class editor by assigning PIECE_MARK property to all classes to enable to get it on all components. Below are the steps to achieve it. 

Steps to Resolve

1. Launch Class editor and navigate the project folder. Below are the project root mentioned:
   C:\%ProjectRoot%\Config\OpenPlant\schemas.
   
   
2. Open ‘OpenPlant_3D.01.04.ecschema.xml’ schema.
3. Supplement it with ‘OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema.xml’ schema.
4. Create a property PIECE_MARK under Device class in order to inherit the property under all available piping component. The best way to do  is to copy the property from existing class and paste it under Device class.
5. For instance Select Pipe Class and check property PIECE_MARK to copy it and then paste it under Device class. See image below.
   
   
   
   
   Note - Recheck the copied property which should contain ‘ AutoPlant_PDW_Property_Map’ custom attribute as shown in above image.
   
   
6. Save and close Schema.
7. Generate Isometrics and verify results. See image below of one sample output.
