    How To Display Pipe Length using Multipliers

    Applies To

    To display Pipe Length with different Multipliers.

    Background

    In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, for Metric Project the pipe length have been shown in millimeters by default. Sometimes user expects to convert these in meters or in centimeters. Below steps illustrates the steps to obtain the converted multipliers. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler and AutoPlant Modeler. This has been shown in context with OpenPlant Modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However similar approach could be utilized for AutoPLANT modeler and OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, with checking the style folder with different storage paths. 
     

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.
    2. Select Project unit, say OPModeler_Metric here and click OK. See image below:



    3. Click on ‘Configuration’ Icon to launch Isometric configuration dialog box.



    4. From Isometric configuration dialog box, select ‘Advanced’ node and click on ‘Explore Style Configuration’ option to allow user to navigate to the style folder.



    5. Select IFC folder and open style.cfg file for customization.

      Note: For OpenPlant Modeler, user can navigate the path location as %Projectroot%....\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\ Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config.
      For AutoPLANT Modeler, user can navigate the path location as %Projectroot%...\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

    6.  Go to the section labeled:

       #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
       # MULTIPLIER (metric only)
       # specifies the multiplier to use for a metric value. By default all metric
       # values are stored in millimeters
       # Examples:
       #  = 0.001     convert to meters
       #  = 0.1       convert to centimeters
       #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. Set the variable as shown below to set the co-ordinate in Meters. 
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_MULTIPLIER     = 0.001



    8. Go to the section labeled:
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # DECIMAL_PLACES (metric only)
      #   Specifies the amount of decimals for a metric value
      #   Examples:   5 is displayed as:
      #       = 0     5
      #       = 2     5.00
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    9. Set the variable as shown below to show the co-ordinate with decimals up to certain places.
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_DECIMAL_PLACES     = 3



    10. Go to the section labeled:
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      # UNIT_SYMBOL (metric only)
      #   Specifies the unit symbol for metric values
      #   Examples:   5 is displayed as (no assumptions are made on the actual unit)
      #       =       5
      #       = @mm       5 mm
      #       =  meter     5meter
      #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    11. Set the variable as shown below to show the length with unit
      IE_FMT_LENGTH_UNIT_SYMBOL     = Meter



    12. Save & Close style.cfg file.

    13. Generate Drawing and verify results. See image below.



    14. Similarly user can also modify Dimensions and diameter and display unit using multiplier. The variable can be used for dimensions and diameter are as below:

      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_MULTIPLIER  = 0.001
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_MULTIPLIER   = 0.001

    15. Also for Dimension Symbols:

      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_UNIT_SYMBOL  = @Meter
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_UNIT_SYMBOL   = @Meter

    16. For settings values after decimals:

      IE_FMT_DIMENSION_DECIMAL_PLACES  = 3 
      IE_FMT_DIAMETER_DECIMAL_PLACES   = 3
