In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, requirement is to show trim angle value of elbow in its description in generated BOM section.

Background

For generated isometric under BOM section, OpenPlant Isometrics Manager doesn’t report the trim angle value for elbow. In this wiki article, we will explore how to achieve such requirement. This wiki article also guides, how to format the trim angle value up to one decimal place & include static text as TRIM ANGLE before trim angle value in the end.

Note: Bentley Class Editor V8i has been used to achieve the customization

Steps to Accomplish

1. Load OpenPlant3D.01.08 schema from desired workset location.
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.08, OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingViews.01.08 & OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.08 schemas as shown below.
   
   
   
3. Navigate to PIPE_ELBOW_TRIMMED class & switch to Properties Search for COMPONENT_NAME property, refer image as shown below.
   
   
   
   
4. For Calculated ECProperty Specification custom attribute, modify the EC Expression as shown below.
   
   EC Expression: this.DESCRIPTION & " " & "(TRIM ANGLE" & " " & System.String.Format("{0:0.#}",this.TRIM_ANGLE) & " " & "DEG)"
   
   
   
   
5. Go to PLANT_BASE_OBJECT class, right click & select Custom Attributes > Copy as shown below.
   
   
   
   
6. Select Default Bill of Material Labels custom attribute, using drop arrow add it to copied section & click on Copy as shown below.
   
   
   
7. Navigate to PIPE_ELBOW_TRIMMED class, right mouse on it & select Custom Attribute > Paste as shown below.
   
   
   
   
8. Under Default Bill Of Material Labels custom attribute, change IE_DESCRIPT value as this.COMPONENT_NAME, refer image as shown below.
   
   
   
   
9. Save all the schema changes.
10. If requirement is to show rest of the Pipe Elbow as description in BOM section as well, then perform PIPE_ELBOW customization as mentioned further.
11. Navigate to PIPE_ELBOW class, switch to Properties Select COMPONENT_NAME property & click on Override to localize the property, refer steps as shown below.
    
    
    
    
12. Update CalculatedECProperty Specification custom attribute as shown below.
    
    
    
    
13. Save all the schema changes & verify result in OpenPlant Modeler & generated isometrics
