OpenPlant Isometrics Manager Help

Isometrics Manager Interface

The OpenPlant Isometrics Manager (OPIM) interface shown below is divided into three different sections. Click on the links to provide help for each section of the interface.
  • PlantSight Tree: PlantSight Connect option connects to PlantSight and downloads the relationship information stored on the hub. PlantSight options are only enabled when you are using a WorkSet which has been associated with a CONNECTED project and provisioned using the OpenPlant Project Administrator.
  • PlantSight: Loads the isosheet and relationship information stored in the active imodel.
    Note: The imodel can either be stored locally or in a ProjectWise datasource. When OpenPlant Isometrics Manager is launched the Project Selection dialog provides the opportunity to login to a ProjectWise datasource if that's where your imodels are stored.
  • IsoSheet Grid: Top right grid that lists the IsoSheets available from the selected Component Browser node for Isometric Generation.
  • Isometric Processor: Bottom right grid used to generate completed Isometric drawings from the selected IsoSheets. When you select an IsoSheet from the grid, it is placed here for processing.
