    To show Corner type elbows in OpenPlant Isometrics drawing.

    Background

    In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, currently elbows show as round in isometrics drawing. Sometimes it is expected to have an elbow with corner type having edge. This can be done by modifying the cell templates and defining variable in schemas. It can be experienced using both OpenPlant modeler & AutoPLANT Modeler with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Below steps illustrates using AutoPLANT Modeler with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

    1. Using class editor, open schema OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema .xml.

      For AutoPLANT Modeler, below are the path to open schemas:
      ……..%....%\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\User Project\Config\OpenPlant\schemas

      For OpenPlant Modeler user, below is the path to check schema. 
      ……..%....%\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\User Project\DataSet\Schemas

    2. Expand class node and navigate to class ‘Pipe Elbow’.

    3. In Class tab, go to custom attribute ‘Isometric Component’.

    4. From ‘Symbol’ field, change the value to 90S as shown in image below.



    5. Save & close Schema and launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

    6. To open Isometric Configuration dialog, launch Project Administrator and browse working project  ->OpenPlant Isometrics->Settings->Create/Modify.See image below.



      Note - For launching OUT-Session, click on icon and select Tools-> Configuration button to launch



    7. Open Configuration manager. See image below



    8. From Isometric configuration dialog, select ‘Advanced’ node and click on ‘Open Seed File’ option to allow user to open seed file.



    9. From IsoExtractor menu, click on ‘Cell Creation Tool’. See image below.



    10. From Create cell dialog, click on ‘Open template File’.



    11. By default the cell template is stored under …\OpenPlant isometrics Manager \workspace\OPIM\Cell Templates folder. Select Elbows.DGN file and click on ‘Open’. See image below.



      Note: It is a good practice to create a backup of the template file before making any modifications.

    12. Go to Elbows table and copy the table and paste it next to it. Rename the table as Elbows Straight for straight type fittings. Rename all cell names from 90 to 90S. See image below.



    13. Using Drawing tab, create straight lines for all required fittings. One sample shown in image below.



    14. From Task bar, Place Fence using fence type as Block, and Fence mode as Inside and click on ‘Create Cell’ Option. See images below.





      Note: user need to define cell template using ‘Create Cell’ option to be able to use further.

    15. From ‘Create Cell’ option, defined cell Name as 90SBW, and add description as shown in below image.



      Note: It is recommended to use ‘Custom.cel’ from cell library, as the changes will retain in one separate file and it will not alter standard cell file lisocomp.cel which will allow user to use the custom.cel file for other project by copying it from one project location to another. By default it does not contain any information. To create a new cell file, copy paste the custom.cel file and type the name at first place in style.cfg in order to search the library at first, as mentioned in below image.





    16. Click on OK and Exit Seed file.

    17. Under ‘Advanced’ node from configuration dialog, click on ‘Explore style configuration’ button to open style folder.



    18. From style folder, open PCF.INI file and enter the data as shown below.



    19. Save & close file.

    20. Generate Isometric drawing and verify results. See image below:
