Problem Description

In OpenPlant Modeler, there are some support classes which are not mapped to their respective AutoPlant class and therefore they are exported as AT_SUPPORT in PXF file. However, there are classes which are exported on their respective classes, for example TEE_SHOE class is mapped to AT_SUPPORT_TEESHOE class and is exported correctly in PXF file. Whereas SPRING_HANGER is exported as AT_SUPPORT in PXF file as shown below.

Similarly, RISER_CLAMP is also exported as AT_SUPPORT in PXF output.

Steps to Resolve

1. Launch Class Editor and load OpenPlant_3D schema.
   
   
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling and OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Mapping_AutoPLANT schema.
   
   
   
   Note: For more information on schema supplementation read this article.
   
   
3. Search for SPRING_HANGER class through Find Class dialog and click Go To button.
   
   
   
   
4. Right click on SPRING_HANGER class and click Add/Remove custom attribute.
   
   
   
   
5. Add "AutoPLANT_PDW_Catalogue_Class_Map" custom attribute as shown below.
   
   
   
   
6. Right click on ClassMapping field and click "Add Element".
   
   
   
   
7. Add "AT_SUPPORT_SPRINGHANGER" in class name field and "BASE" in ModuleName field.
   
   
   
   
8. Similarly add same custom attribute on RISER_CLAMP class and add below information.
   
   
   
   
9. Save the changes in schema and verify the result by exporting the PXF file again.
   
   SPRING_HANGER
   
   
   
   RISER_CLAMP
