OpenPlant Modeler Help

Launch an Existing Model from ProjectWise Explorer

  1. Launch the ProjectWise Explorer application if it is not open already and log into a project datasource.
  2. The ProjectWise Explorer contains a folder system similar to Windows Explorer.
  3. Under the active datasource, navigate to the directory where the DGN file is stored.

    The folder's contents/files display in the upper right pane.

  4. Either double-click on the file or right-click and select Open from the context menu.

    The ProjectWise Open document with dialog displays.

    Note: If the document had been previously opened with OpenPlant Modeler, then you may not be prompted with the Open document with dialog as OpenPlant Modeler will have become the default program used to open the document.
  5. Select the OpenPlant Modeler application from the list and click OK.
  6. The OpenPlant Modeler application will launch and load the selected file.
Note: When the model is loaded, the components repository which is associated with the drawing and stored in the OpenPlant ModelServer, is loaded into the Items Browser.
