- Go to File from Main Menu option and open DGN library files (dgnlib). See image below :
Default path: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Workspaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Metric\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Dgnlibs - Open the OPModeler.dgn.lib in OpenPlant Modeler connect. As shown below
- Change the workflow mode as Admin.
- Navigate the Environment Ribbon Tab and click on Named Expression as shown below
- Click on OP_SYMBOLOGY_EQUIPMENT. See image below for reference.
- Below are the Symbology pasted to copy from here and to get it pasted to its respective Expression’s.

"BY_LEVEL_AND_TEMPLATE:" & IIF(OPITEM.IsOfClass("NOZZLE", "OpenPlant_3D"), "Nozzle:",
IIF(OPITEM.IsOfClass("TANK", "OpenPlant_3D"), "Tank:",
IIF(OPITEM.IsOfClass("PUMP", "OpenPlant_3D"), "Pump:",
IIF(OPITEM.IsOfClass("HEAT_EXCHANGER", "OpenPlant_3D"), "HeatExchanger:",
IIF(OPITEM.IsOfClass("VESSEL", "OpenPlant_3D"), "Vessel:", "Equipment:"))))) & "OpenPlant\Equipment\" &
IIF( OPITEM.IsOfClass( "NOZZLE", "OpenPlant_3D" ), "Nozzle:",
IIF( OPITEM.IsOfClass( "TANK", "OpenPlant_3D" ), "Tank:",
IIF( OPITEM.IsOfClass( "PUMP", "OpenPlant_3D" ), "Pump:",
IIF( OPITEM.IsOfClass( "HEAT_EXCHANGER", "OpenPlant_3D" ), "HeatExchanger:",
IIF( OPITEM.IsOfClass( "VESSEL", "OpenPlant_3D" ), "Vessel:", "Default:" ) ) ) ) ) & "Model"
Note: Make sure to copy the strings correctly. - Save each Expression that turns Red. Save option will get enabled once you modify the Expressions: See below for reference.
- Launch OpenPlant Modeler and Verify results. See images below:

Background
OpenPlant component symbology is managed in the typical MicroStation fashion. It is controlled through a combination of Named Expressions (used to read attributes and assign the Element Templates accordingly) and Element Templates (where symbology is defined for the elements identified by the Named Expression).
A modification in ‘Named Expression’ should require for changing the Equipment level as per Equipment Name like TANK, PUMP, VESSEL etc. see below exercise where similar content has been described.
