Place User Custom Component

User Custom Components are components created in an active drawing file for use in that drawing only. They are created by using Microstation drawing techniques to create the element(s), then using the Custom Piping Component Builder to create a single OpenPlant component from the element(s).
Note: Click Here for information on how to create custom components which can be re-used across multiple drawing files in a project.

Custom components can be placed directly to existing Piping components using the fit to fit method. The placement point of the custom component is predefined when the component was created. Inline placement of custom components (which have inline ports such as tees, non-angular valves etc.) on existing Piping components is also allowed.

Custom supports can also be created and placed on existing piping components.
Note: Custom components may not be connected to existing custom components (inline custom components included).
Note: Placement of custom supports on non-linear components (elbows, etc.) is not supported.
