Background
Working with the out-of-the-box configuration, when having a major and a minor pipeline connected via an olet in OpenPlant Modeler and later generating an isometric of the minor one in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, the segment of the pipeline that connects to the other one via the olet is dimensioned wrongly: the displayed value is the sum of the pipe segment, the olet, and the radius of the major pipeline, when it should be the length of the pipe segment only.
In order to illustrate the issue more clearly, here is an example. This is a simple model created in OpenPlant Modeler; notice how the minor pipe's length is 1000 units, and the distance from the end of that pipe to the centerline of the major pipeline is 1225 units.
When creating an isometric of the minor pipeline, its dimension should display 1000 units, however, the value displayed in the isometric in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager is 1225 units.
This wiki shows the procedure to follow in order to split that dimension in two, so that at one end it will be shown the length of the pipe segment alone, and at the other end the length of the olet plus the radius of the major pipeline.
