Overview

In certain projects, it may be necessary to identify the line number associated with a piping component. This can be achieved by modifying the schema accordingly.

 Steps to Accomplish

  1. In the schema editor open “OpenPlant_3D.01.08.ecschema.xml” and supplement it with “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.08.ecschema.xml” & “OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_ModelingViews.01.08.ecschema.xml”.

  2. Goto piping component class and create a new property here we are creating “Propertytag”

    NOTE: Same Property must be added under Instrument Class as well.

  3. Then add a Calculated EC Property Specification and change its location to OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling.01.08.ecschema.xml

  4. Add the following expression against EC Expression and give a failure value.

    this.GetRelatedInstance("SEGMENT_HAS_PIPING_COMPONENT:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT").GetRelatedInstance("PIPELINE_HAS_SEGMENT:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM").NAME




  5. Create a new category to view the newly property when we invoke the property dialog in OpenPlant Modeler.
    NOTE: Same Category must be added under Instrument Class as well.

    A screenshot of a computerAI-generated content may be incorrect.

  6. Repeat steps 2 to 5, however the EC Expression for Instrument will be

    this.GetRelatedInstance("SEGMENT_HAS_INSTRUMENT:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT").GetRelatedInstance("PIPELINE_HAS_SEGMENT:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM").NAME

    A screenshot of a computerAI-generated content may be incorrect.


  7. After making the above changes we can see the pipeline when we open properties for a piping component.
