Overview

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, user requirement is to get only Support items list in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager BOM.

Problem Description

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using OpenPlant Modeler, user wanted to get support items list, which can be viewed by customizing report.def file under style folder. Modeler needs to define a separate report in report.def file and comment other report define in it. Below steps will help user to achieve the desired settings. This could also be realized using AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

Steps to Resolve

  1. For OpenPlant Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    1. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Select Project unit, say Imperial here.
    2. Click on Configuration to launch ‘Isometric Configuration’ dialog box.


    3. From Advanced option, click on ‘Open Report Definition’ file.

      Note
      - From working project navigate to report.def file. See below default path for reference
      C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Imperial\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Config

  2. For AutoPLANT Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    1. Open Project Administrator select the working project and click Create/Modify button


    2. From Advanced option, click on ‘Open Report Definition’ file


      Note - From working project navigate to report.def file. See below default path for reference
      C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_IMPERIAL\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config

  3. Create new support report by adding below expression.
    REPORT = SUP
        # this to include only support material
        INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_SUPPORT

        COLUMN =  3: R : PARTID
        COLUMN = 19: C : QUANTITY
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE1
        COLUMN =  7: R : SIZE2
        COLUMN =  2:   :
        COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

        GROUP  = PARTID
        SORT   = PARTID:N
        SEP    = @ 
        SORTHEADERS = 0

        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        TEXT = @                       Support Materials
        TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
        Write =SUP
        NODE=60
    END

  4. Comment other existing reports with a ‘#’ sign. See below: 




  5. Save & close file.
  6. Generate isometrics & verify results.
