    How to use Isometric Custom Symbol for Dummy Leg /Trunnion Support & How to include them under Supports Section of Bill of Material

    Applies To
    Product(s): OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
    Version(s): 08.11.11.294 (SS6Refresh4) & above
    Environment: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit)
    Area: Settings/Attributes
    Subarea: Modifying Symbol
    Original Author: Abhijit Bute, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    Overview

    How to use Isometric custom symbol for Dummy leg/ Trunnion support & How to include them under Support section of Bill of Material.

    Background

    When generate isometric, Dummy Leg and Trunnion support symbol shows as pipe. Project may have requirement to show customize symbol for Dummy Leg and Trunnion support and include them in Bill of Material support section.

    Refer below image support comes under pipe section.

    Refer below image support comes under support section.

    Below illustrative steps will help to achieve above result.

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Go to project location.
      Ex: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\As-Built\config

    2. Open Style.cfg file in Notepad.           
      Note: To override the standard behavior, one needs to add an entry in Style.cfg.

      IE_<EC class>=<symbol>, <scalertype>, <IE type>
      Symbol                 the symbol to use for the support
      Scalertype           determines the length of the trunnion in the isometric, when not given the Scalertype default to DUMMYPIPE (40 mm length)
      IE_TYPE             the internal type. This determines further handling in reporting etc. Default to CT_PIPE which makes it appear in the PIPE section of the report, give the support a pipe cut label etc   

      For example for Single pipe trunnion if add following entry in style.cfg file.

      1. IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt

        Internally this would be read as:
        IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMYPIPE, CT_PIPE 
                   
      2. IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20

        Internally this would be read as:
        IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20, CT_PIPE
                   
      3. IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20, CT_SPT

                 Internally this would be read as:
                 IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20, CT_SPT 

      Add following entry in Style.cfg file.

      IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20

    3. Add new scalertype entry in DUMMY20 in 'Symbolsize.def' file. 

         DEF B2CP DUMMY20
         SEGLEN 20


    4. Add new symbol 'spt' for Trunnion. 

      Create symbol as per requirement

      Note: segment length should be 20 as per mention in symbolsize.def file and define connection point as per mention in below image.



    5. Save the file and generate isometric to review the result.


      Note: Following additional steps need to follow, if requirement must show Trunnion Support under support section in Isometrics bill of material.

    6. Open Style.cfg file in notepad. 

      Add following entry.

      IE_SINGLE_PIPE_TRUNNION=spt, DUMMY20, CT_SPT

    7. Open ‘Repsortgroup.txt’ in notepad. 

       Add 'CT_SPT' under Support section.

    8. Save the file, generate isometric to review the result.



      Similar way same custom symbol can be used for other type of Dummy leg and Trunnion supports
