In OpenPlant Modeler, to create a custom component tool button in task panel.
Custom Piping Component in OpenPlant Modeler can be placed using Place custom component from cell tool. Sometimes there is a big amount of different custom components and each time searching for required component cell can be time consuming process. There is possibility to create a separate sections with special tool buttons in Tasks Panel.
For prerequisites a Custom Component is already reappeared with his catalog and specification.
Close everything, Start OpenPlant Modeler and open your project model with new Interface.New Tool Box with Custom Components Tool Button is created and active for use.
In this example we have created Tool button for a Steam Trap component. Steam Trap components are not implemented in OpenPlant Modeler and for this component representation we have copied most similar component Y-Strainer's custom attributes and properties.
