How to Split Components on Different Description or Unique PARTID in BOM

Case 1 - To Split the Pipe Quantity on Different Description

In Isometric BOM, Pipe with different descriptions does not count separately. It produces a combined length/Quantity in Bill of Material. Requirement is to get a separate quantity in bill of Material whose description found to be different. This can be done by modifying the schema through class editor.

Steps to Accomplish

1. In Class Editor, open ‘OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema’.
2. Locate the "Pipe" class to edit the schema.
3. Go to class tab, under "Isometric Component" custom attribute, add the value "this.DESCRIPTION" in item code field as shown in image below.
   
   
   
4. Save & close the schema.
5. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and verify results. See image below for reference please.
   

Case 2 - To Display Unique Part ID for Flanges

User requirement is to split the Flanges with its unique Part ID. To incorporate it, similar customization, like explained above should be done to split the components with unique PARTID. See Steps below to get it.

1. In Class Editor, open ‘OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema’.
2. Locate the "WELD_NECK_FLANGE" class to edit the schema.
3. Go to class tab, under "Isometric Component" custom attribute, add the value "this.GUID" in item code field as shown in image below.
   
   
   Note : For AutoPLANT Modeler user, COMP_ID property gets mapped with GUID. However user should check other property as well which stands unique to each Flange. 
   
   
4. Save & Close Schema. 
5. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager and verify results. It should split the Component based on unique property value and create different PARTID.
