Background
In OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition, the requirement is to change the pipeline symbology according to Design State.
We have observed that the component state will work on display label name in named expression. We have added Design as a component state and it will work for piping components (pipe elbow etc ).
Steps to Accomplish
- Launch OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition.
- From file > new, open the OPModeler.dgnlib file from the location as mentioned
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantCONNECTEdition\Configuration\Workspaces\OOB\WorkSets\OOB_WORKSET\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Dgnlibs - From the extreme top left corner, Change the workflow to Admin as shown
- From Admin > Home > Collections, select element templates as shown
- Right-click on the piping node & create a new template group as shown
- Name the template group as per requirement (here Oil)
Note: Template Group Name must be the same as the Service Name - Add new templates as Models to a newly created group as shown
PIPE LEVEL
As per project requirement create a service. - From utilities, update the templates from the library as shown
- From Home > Environment, click on named expressions as shown
- In named expression, search for OP_SYMBOLOGY_PIPING & enter the following expression as shown
"BY_LEVEL_AND_TEMPLATE:" & PIPELINE.NAME & ":OpenPlant\Piping\" & IIF(OPITEM.STATE="Design", PIPELINE.SERVICE_NAME, OPITEM.STATE) & ":Model"
- Save the settings
- Switch to the piping model to verify the results.
- Place a pipe & verify the results as shown
Notice that, It is following the OP_Symbology and element template level as per component state.
