    Value Map Class present in schema gives various option to user to pre-define meta data which can be used as any property existing values and to be pulled out from its field as a drop down option. Below wiki describes the steps to manage newly created properties and a new Value map class definition in schema.

    1. Launch Bentley Class Editor,Open OpenPlant_3D.01.07. ecschema.
    2. Supplement with below highlighted schema as shown.
      Path: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModelerV8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas

    3. Navigate to value map class, right click on it and select Add derived class.



    4. Create a new class name, say See image below:



    5. Switch to Properties tab and add few properties which should be present while assigning to Property attribute in drop down selection. See image below:





    6. Navigate to Pipeline class and add property DESIGN_NOTE in it like shown in image below.



    7. Right click on DESIGN_NOTE property -> Custom Attributes --> Add/Remove.



    8. Select Custom attributes, ExtendType and Lookup Value Map Pointer from dialog box shown below and assign location to schema shown in image.
