Background
In OpenPlant Modeler, users can generate system isometric drawings for multiple pipelines. When those pipelines are physically connected, the software provides an option to combine them into a single system isometric sheet. This is especially useful for representing an entire connected piping system in one consolidated drawing.
Steps to Accomplish
To enable this functionality, a configuration variable must be added to the modeler.cfg file.
- Open the modeler.cfg file located in OpenPlant workspace configuration. Add the following line to enable multi-pipeline isometric generation:
OPM_ALLOW_MULTI_PIPELINE_ISOSHEET = 1
Save the file after making this change.
- Next, launch OpenPlant Modeler.
- Create multiple pipelines and ensure they are physically connected using valid components.
- Open the Pipeline Manager from the ribbon.
- Select all pipelines that are part of the connected system.
- Click the AutoGenerate IsoSheet button.
A prompt will appear: "Do you want to create a single IsoSheet for all pipelines selected?"
- Click Yes to confirm that you want to generate a single system isometric sheet.
8. Reselect the pipelines and click Generate ISO.
9. Notice that a single Iso sheet has been generated.
10. Open the generated isometric drawing to verify that all selected pipelines are included in a single sheet.
