I am using JSpace Class Editor. I am having
problems getting any class in PIPE to recognize the PID_LINE class. For
example I have a Class named Tag_NO in both classes and in the PIPE class I have
the property with A=PID_LINE\MEMBER_OF\TAG_NO. Any property that has
PID_LINE\MEMBER_OF\ will not come across. I know it is something simple
but I can not figure it out. Thanks.
I am trying to find a way to create an item set (or a query) whereby I'm looking for a property that is filled, no matter the value.
Is there a way to do this?
Did you get this to work? I thought Support Modeler XM required PSDS...

You can use Bentley i-model Composer V8i to publish the PSDS DGNs into i-models, and Reference all i-models into one Composition\Master file from different applications. You won't be able to work on i-models generated from new versions back in older version of MicroStation XM.

You need to remove the '#' sign from the PW.cfg inside OPM installation folder like \config\appl\.

Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler

Original Author: Plant SELECTsupport
Legacy Document Number:
PlantSpace will continue to receive minor enhancements and TR developement support.
OpenPlant is not a replacement for AutoPLANT, which will continue to be developed and enhanced based on the AutoCAD platform.
However, because of the open architecture used with OpenPlant, Bentley will provide new capabilities under the OpenPlant brand name that will be applicable to both OpenPlant and AutoPLANT users. For example, the OpenPlant PowerPID SS2 release (Nov 2009) is fully integrated with the AutoPLANT design environment through the Project database, allowing a user to create P&IDs using OpenPlant while creating 3D models using AutoPLANT PDW
OpenPlant can be implemented using SQL Server. For specific versions review the ReadMe file for ProjectWise Integration Server.
No ObjectEnabler will be required to view the 3D models.How do I correct this error loading piping: "Enter name of customization file to load:"?
Initially OpenPlant will work with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 32-bit and 64 bit versions but will run in 32-bit mode. Once the Power Platform fully supports 64-bit OpenPlant will be able to run in that mode also.
Also this provides and opportunity to create piping isometrics from other plant design toolset via i-models.
All piping connections or joints can be configured to carry indentification data. These joints can be configured, based on end preperations, to carry additional information such as weld types and unique numbering.
Yes, this is part of the scope of OpenPlant Modeler.

Bentley's Technical Support Group requests that you please confine any comments you have on this Wiki entry to this "Comments or Corrections?" section. THANK YOU!
Yes, this is a kind of surprise that it’s not searching for the NULL values as you mentioned also. BTW I’ve logged a defect for this as 'Search instances with Null values is not working'. Defect # 2729444
Loading of Bently AutoPlant is well, Piping is also, but when i try to open dialog Component References, AutoPlant shows next message in command:
Loading the AutoPLANT Component Preferences. Please wait...
Initializing accont (AC_CONTAN18 )...
Error loading surrogate process windows manager.
ERROR: OleManager was not found.
What is OleManager? How can i solve this problem?
Google is silent! =(

1. Within the Items browser, create a search…
2. Select: <Items by common properties>
3. Select or check all items in the list…
4. Uncheck or deselect the Plant Area item in the list… and click ok.
5. Adopt the query, where... Area equal to the appropriate value. And add to search… Note: the values must be preset within the drawing settings Plant Tab.
6. Update property... via right mouse click on the returned node in the items browser…
7. Adopt the Area value to the appropriate preset value within the next upcoming dialog.
The above mentioned method gives you the flexibility to select a range of components instead of the whole P&ID, whenever necessary.
My company is just now making the move to Open Plant. My part in this is using PowerPID to create PIDs that will be used by other departments to build a model of a project (rather than a collection of drawings). My concerns are in two initial, but vital issues (and I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, so be gentle):
1. All objects in a file (or on a drawing) should be intelligent objects
As I understand how this works, the files I create wiill have intelligences and relationships that other departments will build upon. For example, if I place a valve in the file, that valve becomes part of the database within the model and is used directly by piping to begin creating their part of the design.
2. Office and client objects and symbols, including tagging and variance of connector symbols will have to be added.
My experience, whether PowerPID or board drafting that was so last millennium, is: "That's not how I want my drawing to look." Or: "Why can't these look like how we make our drawings?" Obviously there has to be some initial customization to include those items which just aren't in the package out-of-the-box. I guess I'm asking first: is it necessary to have all items (aside from text) that appear on the drawing have intelligence; and second: can this be done with Component Builder such that you can get fairly close to an object with complete intelligence? I have done an initial creation of an object with Component Builder that I reference a drawing into the file, copied the item, and then used Component Builder to add it to one of the libraries. It doesn't have any "intelligence", and i can't attach a nozzle to it. So is it possible to add the intelligence at this point? I don't think a read of the help file say, or not.
Thanks for any guidence in advance!
Mark
Hello Mark,
In response to your questions -
1. This is correct. All objects in an OpenPlant PowerPID are intelligent. You can still place plane MicroStation graphic elements. Unless these are linked to a "component class" they will remain as plane MicroStation graphics. The intelligent items contain all the propertie data, as well, the data can be written to the Bentley Plant Prioject Database. In terms of "....and is used directly by piping.." - in the impending SELECT series 5 release of OpenPlant Modeler this is possible via a Bentley i-model. Full 2D to 3D integration will evolve in the product over several updates and releases.
2. Full configuration of the workspace, including cells, appearance, and properties is supported. We do include an Imperial, Metric and ISO standard workspace. Soon you will also have access to a KKS workspace if that is something you need.
Configuring your own cells to use in PowerPID is done through the Component Manager.. If you were unable to assign intelligence to the component perhaps this will help. The process requires that you use an existing class as a "base" class so that the Component Manager assigns the respective properties and behavior to the new component.
You can look in the help file on creating a new component using the Component Manager as well look here: communities.bentley.com/.../oppid-component-manager-tips.aspx
I also recommned you look into taking a Distance Learning class for PowerPID. This will be most helpful and is someting you can do without travel.
I hope this helps,

Actually you need both TriForma and PSDS installed to get SupportModeler to start up. It has no knowledge of what an OpenPlant object is so connecting to pipe is not available.
Note:
We will be showing an Alpha build of our Bentley Engineering Support Manager tools at BE Together this year. If you're interested in seeing what is coming make sure to attend.

You can also edit the C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OpenPlantModeler V8i\OpenPlantModeler\config\appl\opms.cfg file and remove the # from the PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION=1 variable.
This will then have the ProjectWise login screen show up for all other applications that use i-desktop integration.

Hi,
I would recommend you to go through the Drawing Flattener help file for detailed study. However, you may start by using following steps:
1. Load 'Bentley AutoPLANT Drawing Flattener'.
2. Apply 'File > Add Files to List...' menu command.
3. Pick appropriate option from the 'Choose the browsing mode' and select the drawing you want to flatten.
The drawing will appear in the Drawing Flattener interface.
4. Press the 'Start Flattening' tool-button.
The drawing will be flattened and the flattened drawing can be opened from 'File > Open Destination'.
Hi,
Which AutoPLANT Version are you using? Which AutoCAD version are you running it with? Did you install any AutoCAD Service pack as well?
