Background

There could be requirement to get weight accumulated for the components and round up quantity in bill of material. Below are some simple steps to accomplish this necessity.

For OpenPlant Modeler - OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

Steps to Accomplish

1. Navigate to the project path and open required style's "config" folder in which all style's configuration files are stored. By default this folder can be found at this location:
   
   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\[..Project-Name..]\DataSet\Isometrics\Styles\IFC\Confi
   
   
2. Open report.def file and add new COLUMN entry to present "DRY_WEIGHT" attribute as shown below.
   

   REPORT = SHP    
       INCLUDE = IE_FIELD = 0
       EXCLUDE = IE_TYPE = CT_WELD

       COLUMN =  3 : R : PARTID
       COLUMN = 19 : C : QUANTITY
       COLUMN =  7 : R : SIZE1
       COLUMN =  7 : R : SIZE2
       COLUMN =  2 :   :
       COLUMN = 10 : RA1 : DRY_WEIGHT
       COLUMN = 2 : L : "kg"
       COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

       GROUP  = PARTID
       SORT   = PARTID:N
       SEP    = @ 
       SORTHEADERS = 1

       TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
       TEXT = @                       Shop Materials
       TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
       Write =
   END
   
   NOTE: additional columns can be added to present units type for required attributes. In this Metric Project's example, a kilo units where attached for DRY_WEIGHT attribute.
   
   

3. Generate isometric and verify result.

Steps to Accomplish

   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\[..Project-Name..]\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config

       COLUMN =  7 : R : SIZE1
       COLUMN =  7 : R : SIZE2
       COLUMN =  2 :   :
       COLUMN = 10 : RA1 : WEIGHT
       COLUMN = 2 : L : "kg"
       COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT

       GROUP  = PARTID
       SORT   = PARTID:N
       SEP    = @ 
       SORTHEADERS = 1

       TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
       TEXT = @                       Shop Materials
       TEXT = @ ----------------------------------------------------------
       Write =
   END
   
   NOTE: additional columns can be added to present units type for required attributes. In this Metric Project's example, a kilo units where attached for WEIGHT attribute.
   
   

3. Generate isometric and verify result.
