Introduction

When using Mixed pipe (OpenPLANT model having equipment and piping for example) to create General arrangement drawings the output might have missing dimensions of say equipment, etc. if not located correctly.

Steps to Accomplish

The problem arises because the OpenPLANT model is stored in folder ”Pipe” in Orthograhics Manager project. See below image where equipment, piping, structural models are placed under only one folder.

Solution

Ideally, they should be placed under separate folders i.e. pipe, Equipment, Structural, etc. In case of mixed pipe OpenPLANT model it should be placed in “Other” folder.

This will enable correct dimensioning of all the entities.

 

Correct Result: GA drawing of Mixed OpenPLANT model located under “Other” folder
