Background

While importing or exporting the STP file below error is displayed in OpenPlant Modeler.

This error is appearing because it is not able to find the path of the rose database as you can see below variable MS_ROSEDB is not defined in the configuration.

Steps to Resolve

1. Open the model in any project in OpenPlant Modeler.
2. Go to Workspace>Configuration and locate MS_ROSEDB variable.
   
   
3. Select the variable and click Edit button.
   
   
   
   
4. Add below value in the New Value field and click OK.
