Background

Output generated by OpenPlant Isometrics Manager shows the uneven distance from the component and dimension witness line. Normally Uneven distance is observed when components have different end conditions.

Steps to Resolve

 

  1. Navigate the isometric style path and open Style.cfg file in Notepad.

            For ex: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_METRIC\Config\OpenPlant\Isometrics\styles\IFC\config 

  1. Add the following lines under # Dimension witness line offset for centerline for a given EndPrep section.

                DimLift_FL = 10

                DimLift_IF = 10

                DimLift_BW = 10

                DimLift_FT = 10

                DimLift_SW = 10

                DimLift_FW = 10 

                Review the End Condition and then add the missing End Conditions.
                
            

  1. Save the file and generate an isometric to review the result.
