Background

In Plant Design, few users avoid showing Socket Weld graphically in the Isometrics, which means other weld symbol like Butt weld will be shown. To achieve this requirement minor change in Schema is required.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Using Bentley Class editor open "OpenPlant_3D.01.07.ecschema" schema and supplement it with "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.07.ecschema". See Default path mentioned below for Imperial project:
   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Plant V8i\Bentley Plant V8i Projects\SAMPLE_IMPERIAL\Config\OpenPlant\schemas 
   
   
2. Using "Find Class" button search class "PIPING_FASTNER_SOCKET_WELD".
   
   
   
3. For PIPING_FASTENER_SOCKET_WELD class, scroll down to Isometric Mappings custom attribute & change "Is Skip" from False to True as shown below.
   
   
   
4. Save & Close Schema. 
5. Generate Isometrics & verify results. 
6. Socket welds will not be shown in the Isometrics see below image.
