How to use Branch_3D symbol for custom TEE in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

Background

The user wants to create a custom Branch3D cell for a component. The following wiki article explains creation and use of Branch3D.cel file.

Steps to Accomplish

1. From Bentley Project Administrator launch Isometric Configuration dialog.
   
   
   
2. Open the isoseed file from the Isometric Configuration menu.
   
   
   
3. In the isoseed.dgn file, select the Cell Creation Tool from the IsoExtractor menu.
   
   
   
4. Select the Browse option in the Create Cell Tool.
   
   
   
5. Open Branch_3D.dgn file from the available options.
   
   
   
6. The file Branch3D.dgn will open.
   
   
   
7. Change the orientation to isometric and copy an existing cell to be modified.
   
   
   
8. Modify the existing cell according to the requirement and move the connection ans intersection points. For more information please refer this wiki.
   
   
   
9. Place a fence on the symbol and create a select on Create New Cell.
   
   
   
10. Set location for the cell in custom.cel, give it a name and click OK.
    
    
    
11. To see the scalar type of the component for which the cell is being created please refer the following wiki.
    
12. Browse the symbolsizes.def file of the isometric style.
    In this case the SCALAR is TEE_8.
    
    
    Measure the arm lengths of the cell and input the value in symbolsizes.def file.
    Save the file and close.
    
    
13. Test the output by placing in the model and generating the isometrics. The modified cell should be present in the output.
