Overview

To obtain Pipe Bend Coordinates in OpenPlant Isometrics drawing

Problem Description

While extracting isometrics, it has been found that pipe bend coordinates are required to display on bends for specific use. This can be achieved using Isometric Configuration dialog, & defining a variable inside it. See below steps to verify the result.

Steps to Resolve

  1. In OpenPlant Modeler, select any project and create an arrangement with multiple bends with different Radius.

  2. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using Isometric Configuration dialog à select user labels option.

  3. Under Bend Radius and Bend Labels field, change value as shown in below.

    R=$(BEND_POINT_RADIUS)D$$(BANGLE)°$(COORD)

    Where,
    BEND_POINT_RADIUS     = It gives Radius info

    BANGLE = gives an angle

    COORD = Give coordinates at intersection point.


  4. Save option & Generate isometrics. See image below.
