For PlantSight integrated workset, requirement is to update 3D component properties from updated process or P&ID drawing.

Background

To a PlantSight integrated OpenPlant workset, user has created process drawing & synced to PlantSight. Also, 3D components have been placed into OpenPlant Modeler with the same component details as per process drawing or P&ID drawing. Due to changes in process drawing, P&ID has been updated & drawing has been synced to PlantSight. Now, requirement is to update the properties of 3D component that has been already placed into OpenPlant Modeler. For this wiki article, we have taken example of Operating Pressure, Device Type Code and Number property that has been updated to process drawing. In this article, we will explore the concept of Consistency Manager for a PlantSight enabled workset to achieve our desired result.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Load OpenPlant PID and update properties of desired component, in this case Vertical Centrifugal Pump. As shown below, highlighted properties have been changed.
   
   
   
   
2. From PlantSight ribbon, click on Sync to push data to PlantSight
   
   
   
   
3. To PlantSight Difference dialog, notice the New & Old value in difference dialog.
   
   
   
4. Once successfully synced. Load OpenPlant Modeler, check-out component from PlantSight.
5. Select the component & notice that currently it shows the older value from process drawing as shown below.
   
   
   
   
6. To update the properties as per updated process drawing (P&ID), we will update mapping of Consistency Manager & Stage All the changes.
7. Click on Consistency Manager, refer image as shown below.
   
   
   
   
8. From Consistency Manager dialog, click on Settings > Properties and select Operating Pressure from Excluded list & select green arrow to move that into Included properties list.
9. Once done, click on Save. Refer sequential steps as shown below.
   
   
   
   
10. Reload Consistency Manager dialog, ensure to select your component parent node, here Equipment & click on Run. Refer image as shown below.
    
    
    
    
11. From Consistency Manager, select the modified component name. Notice that it states about differences in value for 2D & 3D. Click on Stage All. Refer image as shown below.
    
    
    
    
12. Notice that upon Stage All, by default application updates the value in Result
    
    
    
    
13. From Consistency Manager dialog, click on Save.
14. To Commit Changes window, click on Yes to commit the changes to Active Model.
    
    
    
    
15. Application will ask to Refresh the sync, proceed on it and notice that to Difference Dialog value has been updated as per process drawing. Click on Update, refer image as shown below.
    
    
    
    
16. Notice that updated details can be seen to model as well as PlantSight Visualizer once model file is checked-in to PlantSight.
