During modeling, sometimes few attributes or properties values may append as per requirement or when spec gets revised. Considering the case it is required to update existing component with revised information. In OpenPlant Modeler, specs can be validated through an option “Validation of Spec for components” in pipeline Manager. To update/validate few properties information like Schedule, Material etc. in spec below are the steps described. See below image for Schedule and Material information for Weldolet which is an existing information in model.

- Check for OPM_SPECVALIDATION_ATTRIBUTESTOCHECK and click on “Edit”.
- Enter value SCHEDULE to get it updated while validating.
- Save & Close DGN. Re launch OpenPlant Modeler.
- Open Pipeline Manager from “Manage Pipeline” tab.
- Select required pipeline and check on all component and press “Validate Spec for Component” option.
