Steps to Accomplish

1. In Class Editor, Open "OpenPlant_3D.01.07 schema". See Image below. 
   
   
   
   Note -Navigate to working project path as shown below.
   (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas)
   
   
2. (Optional, select when dialog prompts) Locate a missing reference OpenPlant.01.07 for schema Openplant_3D.01.07. See image below. 
   
   
   Note - Path to check - (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\OPModeler\schemas)
   
   
3. Right click on "OpenPlant_3D.01.07 schema" & click on supplement Schema option. 
   
   
   
   
4. Using "Add" button, select Supplemental schema "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.07.ecschema" schema and click on "Open". See image below. 
   
   
   
   
5. Similarly add OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.07.ecschema. See image below. 
   
   
   
   
6. (Optional If dialog appears) Click on "Open" for allowing to select Missing reference schema folder. User might need to click on multiple times till it locates all missing reference schema. See image below on how to navigate the correct folder path.

7. Begin Changing the Iso Value map to be editable.
   
   
   
   
8. Choose a class in the tree one or two higher, in order to open editable Iso Value Map.
   
   
   
   
9. From the Edit Tab at the top of the page : COPY CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE.

11. Right click to highlight it : Go back to EDIT TAB
12. From the EDIT TAB : PASTE CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE.
