Isometric Style Setup Module Overview In order to control generation of different types of Isometric Drawings, an administrator will need to define new and modify existing styles and their base default values used for an Isometric Drawing generation.

Module Prerequisites •

Students should have completed the OpenPlant Modeler User course.

Module Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to:

Jul-11

•

Use Isometric Configuration tool to specify basic parameters of Isometric Drawings.

•

Create a new Isometric Style.

•

Set Design State mapping.



Isometric Manager Styles

Isometric Manager Styles Isometric Drawings generated in different project stages have to meet different requirements. We will address the different isometric styles. The Isometric Configuration tool enables you to set a Default Isometric Style for the whole project.

If different Isometric Styles are to be used for Isometric Drawing generation, Design States have to be mapped to these styles.


12


Jul-11


You can define as many isometric styles as required. Isometric Style features can be set by: •

Using the Isometric Configuration tool.

•

Customizing configuration text files located in the project Workspace directory.

Isometric Style setting using the Isometric Configuration tool There are three dialogs available to change the Isometric Style features. They are the Isometric Style dialog, the Isometric Drawing Attributes dialog and the Label dialog. The Isometric Style dialog enables you to specify basic parameters.

•

Graphical Configuration tool: This field is used to start an OP Modeler session and to customize the isoseed file used for creating Isometric Drawings.

•

Completed Isometric Design State: This parameter specifies which design state to set piping components when an Isometric Drawing is created and placed into ProjectWise.

The Isometric Drawing Attributes dialog is described in more detail in the module Drawing Attributes.

Jul-11

Drawing Attributes Module Overview Drawing Attributes are used on Isometric drawings to give more information about the pipeline from which the Isometric was extracted. An administrator will need to modify the attributes to be used on the Isometric drawings and where they should be placed based on the company requirements.



•

Students should have a working knowledge of MicroStation.

•



Jul-11

•

Modify attributes that will be placed on Isometric drawings.

•

Modify a seed file to customize the position of Drawing Attributes.


Drawing Attributes

Customization of drawing attributes for additional pipeline information

Customization of drawing attributes for additional pipeline information Let us suppose you need to add the attribute INTERNAL_PRESSURE to attributes displayed on an Isometric drawing generated using Isometric Style IFC. The whole procedure can be divided into three steps: Customization of selected attributes. Customization of the seed file isoseed.dgn. Customization of the mapping file node2da.txt. 

Exercise 1: Customization of selected attributes 1


2

Select Isometric Style > IFC > Drawing Attributes in the Isometric Configuration dialog. The table which appears in the right window shows the pre-defined drawing attributes provided by the system for the Isometric Style IFC.

By default there are available 32 attributes for each Isometric Style to be used on an Isometric Drawing. Each so called Drawing Attribute Collection is specified by the NAME and by the VALUE . Attributes can be added or deleted from the default list.

Drawing Attributes

Note: There are another 2 options to specify a Value of a Drawing Attribute:



•

Use Expressions: This option allows you to define an EC property for the Iso_Sheet class to be displayed as the value for the drawing attribute.

•

Using ECProperty: The option is related to the ISO_SHEET class (and not to a parent class as used above in step 7). When used, this option enables you to select a property from the ISO_SHEET Property list to be displayed in the Value field.

Exercise 2: Customization of the seed file isoseed.dgn We defined a new Drawing Attribute in the last exercise, as the next step it is necessary to set the location of the Drawing Attribute on Isometric drawing. 1

•

Modify a report definition file.

•

Modify a seed file to customize the Bill of Material layout.


Bill of Material

Project driven drawing output and Bill of Material Definitions

Project driven drawing output and Bill of Material Definitions Isometric Extractor reports – Bills of Material (BOM) - are generic reports that operate on component properties and are an integral part of each Isometric drawing. This BOMs can contain any database information connected with a piping component existing on an Isometric drawing. Generated reports are plain text files that can be attached to a text node in an Isometric drawing. A BOM is defined for each Isometric Style separately. See Appendix 1 for full description of the Report.def file. The file is very well commented. 

Exercise 1: Customization of the file Report.def The goal of this exercise is to include the property MATERIAL in a BOM generated on your Isometric Drawings defined by the Isometric Style IFC. 1

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\I FC\Config.

2

Open Report.def with a text editor.

Navigate to the section REPORT = SHP, which writes shop material to a report Note: Column definition has the following syntax. : COLUMN

= : :

Where specifies the width of the column in character positions is a combination of: L

left aligned

R

right aligned

C

centered

W wrap, a new line will be added if the length of the expression exceeds the width of the report is an expression for the content of the report column. Any component attribute or string can be used. Example: IE_DESCRIPT + UUID + "and a string" would concatenate the atributes IE_DESCRIPT and UUID and the string "and a string"

Change the line COLUMN = 19: R : QUANTITY

to COLUMN = 9: R : QUANTITY

5

Add a new line after just edited line COLUMN = 10: L : STOCK_NUMBER

6

Repeat steps 4 and 5 in the section REPORT = FLD which writes field material to a report.

7

Close Report.def . Changes done in the Report.def file must be followed by changes in a seed file used for Isometric Drawing generation. This will be done in the next exercise.



Exercise 2: Configure Bill of Material layout When a user customizes the Report.def file it is also necessary to make corresponding changes in the file Isoseed.dgn, which is a seed file used by Isometric Manager to create Isometric drawings. Mostly it means to change a heading of the Bill of Materials. The goal of this exercise is to customize a heading of a Bill of Material to include the property STOCK NUMBER added to the BOM definition in the previous exercise. 1

Jul-11


Note: During the Isometric drawing creation Isometric Manager first tries to

locate a symbol in the custom.cel library and if the required symbol is not found there it is taken from the default library isocomp.cel. It enables us to use the original name GATFL for the new customized symbol. Note: To find a name of a cell used by the Isometric Manager open an

Isometric drawing containing a symbol of a corresponding component and hover the pointer over it.

Note: When the cell is not present in the cell libraries during creation a red

circle will appear at the position of the missing cell. Hovering over the red circle will show the name of the missing cell. 17 Exit OpenPlant Modeler. 18 Click Close. The Isometric Configuration dialog closes. 19 Generate an Isometric drawing containing flanged Gate Valve to see your customized symbol.
