1. Launch Bentley Class Editor, open OpenPlant_3D schema.
   
   
   
2. Supplement Isometrics IsoExtractor schema.
   
   
3. Search for PIPING COMPONENT class and click on Go To.
   
   
   
4. In the property tab go to CODE property and remove AutoPLANT PDW Property Map custom attribute.
   
   
   
5. Add a new property and type name SORT_CODE and add following Custom Attributes.
   
   
   
6. Modify Custom Attributes as shown in the image below.
   
   
   
7. From the Plant Base Object click on Custom Attributes > Copy.
   
   
   
8. Copy the Custom Attributes Default Bill of Materials and Specific BOM Labels.
   
   
   
9. Navigate back to PIPING COMPONENT and paste copied Custom Attributes.
   
   
   
10. Click on Class tab, in default Bill of Materials add the following element.
    
    
    
11. Add Specific BOM and add attribute SORT_CODE.
    
    
    
12. Save the schemas and close Bentley Class Editor.
13. Open the overrides.txt file from iso-style.
    
    
    
14. Add the following syntax in overrides.txt file. (e.g. User wants to exclude all the components having SORT_CODE 103 from Bill Of Materials)
    #To have items on SORT_CODE 103 not show on BOM 
    RULE: SORT_CODE 103 items not show in the BOM
    INCLUDE = SORT_CODE = 103
    NotOnBOM = 1
    
    
    
15. The components with SORT_CODE 103 are excluded from the BOM.
