Applies To Product(s) OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Version(s) 08.11.11.224(SS6) Environment Windows 7/8.1/10 64-bit Area Settings/Attributes Subarea Original Author Swapnil Joshi, Bentley Product Advantage Group Overview To modify existing symbols in OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Background The user wants to modify specific segment of an OpenPlant Isometrics Manager cell. In this case we shall modify a segment of a changeover valve.The changeover valve contains 5 segments, and we want to increase only one inlet segment of the cell. The current length of the inlet is 5 units. Current Output Required Output Steps to Resolve Using Project Administrator open the Isometric Configuration dialog. From the the Isometric Configuration dialog, open the seed file. In the seed file, go to Element menu and click on the cells option. In the cells dialog attach the lisocomp.cel and browse to VLVCOFT. Open the cell for editing. Zoom in the cell and modify the cell by extending the segment by three times as shown in the image below Save settings of the file and close the cell file. Open Bentley Class Editor, load the OpenPlant 3D schema. Suppliment with OpenPlant 3D supplemental Isometrics IsoExtractor schema. Find class change over valve and check the Isometric Component. Confirm the name of the scalar type RETURN_BO . Close the schemas. From Isometric Configuration, open the symbolsizes.def file. In the SYS RETURN_BO confirm the linkages. In the DEF RETURN_BO section the lengths of the segments are in the ascending order. So for link 3-6 the length is 5. As we have extended the segment three times in the cell we shall change the length to 15(3X5). Save the file and generate isometrics of the model containing change over valve. The graphics will be generated as modified in the cell.
