Problem Description

In OpenPlant Isometrics Manager, using OpenPlant Modeler, user wanted to assign additional material notes on components and desire to see it in ISO drawing as well as in BOM report. Below are the workaround provided to achieve the settings and this could be done till it gets fixed to next version of release. This could be realized using both AutoPLANT Modeler and OpenPlant Modeler user with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager. Check below steps described for both ways.

Steps to Resolve

Below steps has been illustrated to show Additional material information on isometric BOM and as labels on Pipe.

1. In AutoPLANT Modeler, place additional material labels using Misc. Attachments. See images below. 
   
   
   
   
   
2. Click on Support modeled in a pipeline. Add description like shown in below image. 
   
   
   
3. Save & Close.
4. In class editor, open "OpenPlant_3D.01.06.ecschema.xml" & supplement it with "OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.06.ecschema.xml" Schema.
5. Expand and navigate to "NOTE" class.
6. Navigate to "ADDITIONAL_MATERIAL" class.
7. On "ADDITIONAL_MATERIAL" class override the custom attribute "Isometric Component" to modify the class Name.
   
   1. To Override custom attribute "Isometric Component", user need to Add/Copy it from parent class, Say NOTE here. 
      
      
      
   2. Navigate to NOTE class, right click on it ->Custom Attribute->Copy. See image below. 
      
      
      
   3. Paste it to class "Additional Material". See image below. 
      
      
      
   4. Now it will be able to modify the content inside the custom attribute. 
      
      
8. Change Class name from default "CT_NOTE" to "CT_ADDITEM". Also change Item code to "TEST" & this.TEXT. See image below. 
   
   
   
9. Similarly Override another custom attribute "Specific BOM Labels" like shown under step 4 above. 
   
   1. To Override custom attribute "Specific BOM Labels", user need to Add/Copy it from parent class, Say NOTE here. 
      
      
      
   2. Navigate to NOTE class, right click on it ->Custom Attribute->Copy. See image below. 
      
      
      
   3. Paste it to class "Additional Material". See image below. 
      
      
      
   4. Now it will be able to modify the content inside the custom attribute. 
      
      
10. Add attributes "IE_DESCRIPT" & "IE_FIELD" like shown in below image.
    
    
    Note - Above attribute has been added to get the information available on isometric BOM and under specific Shop/Field Category. 
    
    
11. Save & exit from Class editor.
12. Launch OpenPlant Isometrics Manager & verify results. See image below.
