3. Add a new Property say L_FIN to PIPE Class, using Add button.
   
   
4. On New property L_FIN add custom attribute ‘OpenPlant_Physical_Property_Map’ to it.
   
   
5. An easiest way to add above mentioned custom attribute is to copy-paste it from existing property, say SCHEDULE here.
   
   
6. Select existing property, say Schedule, and copy custom attribute. See image below.
