How to Exclude Plant Area Property From Consistency Checker

Problem Description

While checking 2D/3D consistency between PID and 3D Model, sometimes component doesn't get green check mark on its tag and shows a warning sign rather which means that there is a inconsistency between PID and 3D model. After running consistency checker report you will get to know the properties which do not match.

If you find the properties which you don't wish to include in consistency checker, you can remove them so that you get green check mark on the components placed through consistency checker. For this article, we will take PLANT_AREA property as an example. Below is the picture of consistency checker tree showing inconsistency for pumps.

In consistency checker report, PLANT_AREA property is reported as a mismatch between PID and 3D model which is causing the inconsistency.

Steps to Resolve

1. Open class editor and load OpenPlant schema located in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\OPModeler\schemas folder.
   
   
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_Supplemental_ConsistencyChecker schema.
   
   
3. Go to DEVICE class and switch to properties tab.
   
   
   
   
4. Select PLANT_AREA property and change 'is Shared Property' field to False in "Consistency Checker Custom Attributes"
   
   
   
   
5. Save the changes in schema.
   
   
6. Re-open the model in OpenPlant Modeler and verify the results.
