Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler Version(s): 08.11.09.XXX (SS5) | 08.11.11.87(SS6) Environment: Windows 7/8/10 (64 bit) Area: Component Subarea: Original Author: Rahul Kumar, Bentley Product Advantage Group Overview In OpenPlant Modeler, to fix updated properties when using Auto Match option. Problem Description In OpenPlant Modeler, while connecting a pipe & fittings, some properties are exclusively defined for its own group. Say for a property STANDARD , pipe has ASME B 36.10 which adjoins with a fitting say ELBOW which has a standard ASM B 16.9. During a normal placement both contains the correct information. The problem arises, when routing a pipeline using Auto Match Option enabled. See image below. Start routing a pipe from fitting, elbow. Notice pipe Standard changes to B 16.9, which is incorrect. Below are the steps to fix this issue. Reason This is happening due to presence of STANDARD property listed in MatchOptions.xml file. Removing it will eliminate the problem. Steps to Resolve Navigate to System folder of the working project folder. See default path below. C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\OPModeler\System Open MatchOptions.xml file. Search for Standard defined under Piping section. See image below. Remove line for value =” Standard” from this file. This will not update Standard property when using Auto Match option. See image below with correction. Save & Close file. Launch OpenPlant Modeler. Enable Auto Match Option. Verify result after placement Notice, Standard property retains pipe standard and does not gets changed with respect to fitting standard. Similar approach can be made for other properties which are listed in MatchOptions.xml file and seems to be affected in case of using Auto Match option. Still a Problem?
