Background
In OpenPlant Modeler, there are only few classes which can be used to create custom equipment from custom component builder as shown below. In this article we will discuss the steps required to add more (Existing/New) classes to the list.
For this example, we will add BLOWER class to the list in custom component builder dialog.
Steps to Accomplish
- Launch class editor and load OpenPlant_3D schema.
- Supplement it with OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Modeling schema.
Note: For more information on schema supplementation read this article. - Go to BLOWER class.
- Right click on blower and add new custom attribute.
- Add "Custom Geometry" custom attribute and click OK.
- Add Group ID and Group Name as shown below.
- Save the changes in schema and verify the result.
Similarly, you can add more groups and different classes in that group.
