To show Existing element in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Bill of Material list.

Background

As per project requirement, user need to show few components as existing element in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager using OpenPlant Modeler. In Open Plant modeler user can set the existing pipeline using ‘Demolition’ option available at ‘STATE’ property. In some cases user can show some elements as existing part of pipeline by customizing schemas and modifying the component state. Below are the steps which will guide user to segregate the fastener information in isometrics bill of material list as DESIGN and EXISTING.

Steps to Accomplish

1. In Open Plant Modeler. Select piping systems that needs to separate components for setting new scope.
2. Right click on gasket & select ‘Modify Component’ option as shown.
   
   
   
   
3. From dialog box, set the ‘component state to ‘For Demolition’. See image below.
   
   
   
   
4. Save & close the dialog.
5. Publish an I model and launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and select project unit.
6. Launch Configuration Manager dialog box and from ‘Advanced’ node option, click on ‘Report Definition’ option to open Report file.
7. Modify report definition, for Field type by adding property COMP_STATE as shown below. 
   
   
   
   
8. Save & close report file.
9. Using Class editor, open ‘OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema’.
10. Locate the 'BOLT' & ‘GASKET’ class to edit the schema.
11. User need to add this.STATE property in isometric component custom attribute to Item Code field for both gasket & Bolts as shown in below image. 
    
    For Gasket
    Item Code: this.GetClass().Name & this.NOMINAL_DIAMETER & this.THICKNESS & this.STANDARD & this.CODE & this.SCHEDULE & this.MATERIAL & this.ORDER_NUMBER & this.STATE 
    
    
    For Bolt
    Item Code: this.GetClass().Name & this.NUMBER_OF_BOLTS & this.BOLT_LENGTH & this.BOLT_DIAMETER & this.MATERIAL & this.STATE
    
    
    
12. It will differentiate the same material list based on STATE property added in this field.
13. Generate Isometrics and verify results.
