Background

There are some scenarios where the user requires to create a common property for specific components such as pipe, supports and various types of valves. The purpose of it is to gather multiple AutoPLANT properties into a single OPIM property.

On this wiki article, the common property will be mapped for TAG and TAG_NUMBER. As a result, the values of TAG and TAG_NUMBER will be seen in one property in generated isometrics.

Note: A common property can be mapped to any AutoPLANT properties. However, be mindful where to map each property.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Launch Bentley Class Editor. Open OpenPlant_3D.01.08.ecschema.xml and supplement with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.08.ecschema.xml.
  2. Proceed to Plant Base Object. Add an element in Default Bill of Material Labels. Use the given name and value below.
    Note: The common property BENTLEY_TAG will be inherited to all components under Plant Base Object. Furthermore, BENTLEY_TAG has a value of this.NAME to get IE_TAG values.
  3. IE_TAG works for all components except for Inline Valve. Hence, Inline Valve will not get the BENTLEY_TAG in generated isometrics. To fix this issue, copy the attribute from Plant Base Object then paste to Inline Valve. Change the value to this.ORDER_NUMBER.
    Note: a) ORDER_NUMBER is mapped with TAG by default.
              b) Disregard this step if Inline Valve is not part of work requirement.
  4. Save the changes in Class Editor. 
  5. In report.def file, add IE_TAG + ORDER_NUMBER in both SHOP and FIELD. This step will make the values of TAG and TAG_NUMBER visible in Bill of Materials.



  6. Save the changes in report.def file. 
  7. Generate isometrics to verify the result. BENTLEY_TAG is appearing in all components. TAG and TAG_NUMBER are also visible in Bill of Materials.
