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.
11
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
13
The Label dialog specifies the labels to be used on an Isometric Drawing.
Isometric Style Setting using Configuration Text Files

For example, for the As-Built style the following configuration text files located in:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler
V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\AsBuilt\Config
isoextract.dat: no longer needed.
node2da.txt: mapping of textnode numbers to named drawing attributes.
operator.tbl: mapping of operator names (as supplied by OPM) to symbols to

be used in isometrics.
pcf.ini: configuration for IsoExtractor PCF writer.
rep_sortgroups.txt: definition of sort groups for Bill of Material.
report.def: definitions for all reports produced by IsoExtractor.
scaler.ini: scale settings.
style.cfg: IsoExtractor configuration file.
symbolsizes.def: definitions of the basic scaler classes.
14
Jul-11
All text files include a short description of the purpose and their content is well
commented.
The file isoseed.dgn located in the same directory is a seed used by Iso extractor
when an iso drawing is created.

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

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.

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.

Bill of Material
Module Overview
A Bill of Material is automatically generated during the Isometric extraction
process. An administrator will need to modify which properties should be
included in a Bill of Material and to customize their layout on an Isometric
drawing based on the company requirements.
Module Objectives
Jul-11
Modify a report definition file.
Modify a seed file to customize the Bill of Material layout.
39
Bill of Material
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
FC\Config.
2 Open Report.def with a text editor.
3 Navigate to the section REPORT = SHP, which writes shop material to a
report
Note:
Column definition has the following syntax. :
COLUMN
= <width> : <format/alignment> : <expression>
Where
<width> specifies the width of the column in character positions
<format/alignment> is a combination of:
L
left aligned
right aligned
centered
W
wrap, a new line will be added if the length of the expression
exceeds the width of the report
<expression> 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"

COLUMN = 19: R : QUANTITY
to
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.

Note: To save graphics as an iso cell at least one connection point is needed.
As we were using a graphics of an existing symbol, connection points

were already specified. If not we would have to use Place Connect
Point.
Note: If required we can also place Origin Point or Intersection Point (for
example for Tee components) from the Create Cell toolbar.
52
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.

ProjectWise Settings for Isometric Drawings

Isometric Manager enables you to post generated Isometric drawings to
ProjectWise and perform additional tasks. There are several settings which
influence this process:
Root Storage Folder
Allow To Create Folders
Allow Design State Switching
Document Posting
Exercise 1: Root Storage Folder

When you successfully generate an Isometric drawing you can post it to
ProjectWise.
The goal of this exercise is to configure Isometric Manager to select the
Training_Isometrics folder as a root folder for storing Isometric drawings
when you initiate the Post to ProjectWise procedure.

Note: If the Review generated isometrics before posting option is set the
generated Isometric drawing is available for reviewing when generated.

If this option is not set the Isometric drawing is immediately sent to
ProjectWise when generated.
3 Set Delete document from system after posting.

Note: If the Delete document from system after posting option is set the
generated Isometric drawing disappears from the list of generated

Isometric drawings when posted to ProjectWise. If this option is cleared
the generated Isometric drawing does not disappear from the list of
generated Isometric drawings when posted to ProjectWise. The
Progress Message is changed to Isometric Posted Successfully.
4 Clear List only those components that have Valid Design States.
Note: If the List only those components that have Valid Design States option is
set, only Iso Sheets that have a valid design state (as determined by the
administrator) are displayed in the Iso Sheets pane of the interface.
5 Clear Log Isometric Dataset.
Note: Whenever an Isometric drawing is generated, a Production Log file is
created containing information on the isometric generation process.

When the Log Isometric Dataset option is set, a complete dataset for
the isometric is logged into the Production Log file which can be used
for debugging if the isometric generation fails. When you clear the
ProjectWise Managed Workspace dgn path, the next time you start
Isometrics Manager in a managed workspace you will have to use the
setup process again to identify a new file path for the workspace.
6 Click OK.

Generate PCF files for passing data to legacy systems

The Isometric Manager can create a PCF file as a by-product during the Isometric
drawing generation. These PCF files can be used by other applications. The
Isometric Manager offers several options and features connected with PCF file
generation.
Exercise 1: PCF Files Generation

The Project Configuration tool enables you to specify if a PCF file will be
generated with an Isometric drawing or not. If the Allow PCF File Generation
value is set to True a PCF file will be generated. If it is to False a PCF file will
not be generated.
This exercise will show you how to configure Isometric Manager to generate a
PCF file.
2 Select Project.

4 Select True from the Allow PCF File Generation field, if not already
selected.
Note: False doesn't allow PCF file generation.
Another parameter which can be set for a project by the Isometric

Configuration tool is called Can Post PCF to ProjectWise. The value specified in
this field enables or disables sending generated PCF files to ProjectWise. If the
Can Post PCF to ProjectWise value is set to True a PCF file will be posted to
ProjectWise together with a generated Isometric drawing. If it is set to False a
PCF file will not be sent to ProjectWise.
5 Select True from the Can Post PCF to ProjectWise field, if not already
selected.
The last value to be set in the PCF Generation section is Stop Isometric
Generation if PCF Fails.
66
