Background

While generating isometric, the requirement is to combine the whole BOM with desired sequence of the components. Currently, Isometric BOM is created on the basis of Shop Material & Field Material. Now, if one can need to combine all the report without showing Shop & Field section, that can be also possible. Let's say, user needs a BOM in the sequence/pattern as shown

By default, isometrics manager gives the report as shown

In this wiki article, we will see how to combine the BOM & set the sequence as follows.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Launch OpenPlant Modeler.
2. Create a pipeline & place the desired arrangement.
   
   
   
   
3. Generate the isometric with any desired style. Please follow the attached wiki article for how to generate iso
   
   WIKI >> how-to-generate-isometric-insession-outsession-in-connect-edition
   
   
4. From IsoProcessor dialogue > click on Style configuration > select the desired style & click on Report Defiantion file as shown
   
   
   
   Note : one can manually access this file from the location C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Workspaces\123\WorkSets\1234\Standards\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config
   
   
5. Comment out few lines with "#" as shown. User needs to just add # sign.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. From the Isoprocessor dialogue shown in step-4, click on Style configuration Root as shown
   
   
   
   
7. Open the Rep_sortgroup file.
   
   
8. Now, set the sequence as shown
   
9. Further Fittings also can be set in sequence if scrolled to the bottom of the same file as shown
   
   
   Note: One can set this sequence as well for the fittings group. For the moment Reducer > Flange > Elbow is our sequence.
   
   
10. Save all the files & regenerate the isometric & verify the results as shown
    
    
    
    Notice that, the sequence is achieved as mentioned in Image-1 in description.
    
    

Note that, some issues is faced due to the sequence of the Supports in BOM. Please refer the below wiki article to resolve that problem
