Steps to Resolve

1. In Class editor, Open ‘OpenPlant_3D.01.07.ecschema.xml’ and supplement it with below schemas
   
   “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.04.ecschema.xml’ schema”
   “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Information_3DComponent.01.07.ecschema”
   
   Above schema can be found by navigating below project path : 
   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModelerV8i\WorkSpace\Projects\ OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas
   
   
2. Navigate to desired class say PIPE_ ELBOW_5_DEGREE.
   
   
3. Add Custom attribute (CA) “Component Ports information” to it.

      Note – Please check the correct location of custom attribute as shown above. 
      
      
4. Navigate to class PIPE_ELBOW_5_DEGREE, right click on it-> Custom Attribute->Paste. 
   
   
5. Save & Close Schema.
   
   
6. Launch OpenPlant Modeler.
   
   
7. Place Elbow from Piping tab option. 
   
   
   
   Note – Make sure this class is present in your spec to get it available in OpenPlant Modeler
