Automatic Iso Splitting - Spool Settings

The Spool Settings page provides criteria when splitting isometrics into multiple sheets. Spool settings can either be setup in the design systems such as OpenPlant Modeler or AutoPLANT Modeler or defined here where the Isometrics Manager will determine how the sheets are split.

Setting	Description
Use Spools From Design System (OPM/APM)	When enabled, the isometrics will generate the spool isometrics as they were set up in OpenPlant Modeler or in AutoPLANT Modeler. The other field will be ignored in this instance. Typically all components with a SPOOL_NUMBER > 0 are considered shop, whereas, the others are field.
Spool Settings	The settings in this section determine how the isometrics will be broken into using the spool settings as well as where the loose pipe and fittings will display in the BOM. Treat Sheet Break as Spool Break: This is to prevent spools from continueing over sheets. Ignore Spool Breaks from Design System: In OpenPlant Modeler there is an option to place a spool break note. Click this option to ignore these. Force Loose Pipes to Field: A loose pipe is a pipe that is marked as shop in OpenPlant Modeler and AutoPlant Modeler but has no connections to other shop items. These fittings can be forced to be field components. Force Loose Fittings to Field: A loose fitting is a fitting that is marked as shop in OpenPlant Modeler and AutoPlant Modeler but has no connections to other shop items. These fittings can be forced to be field components.
Component Shop/Field Rules	These are one or more expressions operating on component properties. If any of the rules evaluate to true the component is set to field.
Node Shop/Field Rules	These are one or more expressions operating on node properties. If any of the rules evaluate to true the component is set to field.

Determining the Shop/Field Status

The logic used by OpenPlant Isometrics Manager to determine component shop/field status

Initially all components and joints are marked as shop.
All non-NEW components (continuation, existing) are marked as field. Please note that when a component is marked as field, the joints associated with the component are also marked as field.
The component rules are applied and every component that satisfies one of the rules is marked as field. Here the shop/field setting from the design system can be used.
The node rules are applied and every node (port) that satisfies the rules has its associated joint set to field.
A joint with field fasteners associated with the joint is marked as field.
Joints marked as field have the fasteners associated with the joint also marked as field.
Joints associated with a spool break are optionally marked as field.
Joints associated with a sheet break are optionally marked as field.
Shop components marked as shop but with all field joints are optionally marked as field.
