Background

User needed to make field editable for custom tags on supports, Dummy Leg was one of those tags that was Non-editable. This is the detailed work around to unlock/override the Non-editable field value.  

Steps to Accomplish

  1. In Class Editor, Open "OpenPlant_3D.01.07 schema". See Image below. 



    Note -Navigate to working project path as shown below.
    (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\Projects\OPModeler_Metric\DataSet\Schemas)

  2. (Optional, select when dialog prompts) Locate a missing reference OpenPlant.01.07 for schema Openplant_3D.01.07. See image below. 


    Note - Path to check - (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\WorkSpace\OPModeler\schemas)

  3. Right click on "OpenPlant_3D.01.07 schema" & click on supplement Schema option.
