Overview

To Sum two property values based on requirement and to display it inside Bill of Material in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager.

Problem Description

User requirement is to sum two different property BOLT_LENGTH and BOLT_EXTENSION_LENGTH and to display the output in BOM. This can be done using Specific BOM Label custom attribute and defining the properties to it. See below steps below to resolve it. This article written in context with OpenPlant Modeler using OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. However similar approach can be utilized with AutoPLANT Modeler & OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. 

Steps to Resolve

1. In Class Editor, open “OpenPlant_3D.01.04.ecschema” & Supplement it with below schema.
   
   “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema”
   
   
2. Navigate to “BOLT” class. See image below. 
   
   
   
   
3. Under “Class” Tab, go to “Specific BOM Label” custom attribute and modify entry for SIZE2 value as shown below.
   
   Name – SIZE2
   Value - this.BOLT_LENGTH+this.BOLT_EXTENSION_LENGTH
   
   
   
   
4. Save & Close Schema.
   
   
5. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, Generate Isometrics & Verify results.
   
   
   
   Also check in Component tag data.
   
   BOLT_EXTENSION_LENGTH = 7.1
   BOLT_LENGTH = 89
   SUM = 89+7.1 = 96.1 
   
   
   
   SIZE2 = 96.1/25.4 = 3.78346. See image below.
