IsoSheet Manager

The IsoSheet Manager allows you to generate Iso Sheets from the selected pipelines in the Pipeline Manager. The Isometrics can then be generated for selected isosheet by using the Bentley OpenPlant Isometrics Manager application.

Accessed from the Pipeline Manager

The IsoSheet Manager is made up of two sections:

The IsoSheet Grid which lists Isosheets for a pipeline
The Components Grid which lists the components on the selected pipeline to be selected for isosheet generation.

IsoSheet Grid

The IsoSheet grid displays at the top of the IsoSheet Manager and lists the isosheets currently defined for the selected pipeline. The grid has a toolbar at the top which provides the following options to Add, Edit or Delete isosheets.

Design State

A Design State cannot be defined for an iso sheet unless the following variable is defined in the Modeler.cfg file for each WorkSet located in the following directories:

...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Imperial\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Modeler.cfg
...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Metric\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Modeler.cfg
...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\MixedMetric\Standards\OpenPlant\Modeler\Modeler.cfg

PROJECTWISE_ISOMETRIC_WORKFLOW_NAME =

If a workflow is not defined, you will get the following error message when trying to set a Design State from any interface where it can be defined (such as IsoSheet Manager, Create Pipeline dialog, etc.)

Once you have defined an isometric workflow name in the %project%.cfg file, a list of design states will display as a drop down list in the Design State field in any of the dialogs where the Design State can be defined.

Note: To define a Design State, you must be either logged into a ProjectWise datasource with a managed workspace defined.

IsoSheet Grid Toolbar

The following toolbar options are available:

Pipeline List	The drop down list at the top left of the Isosheet Manager lists the available pipelines to be selected. When a pipeline is selected, its components are displayed in the Components Grid. From there they can be selected for an isosheet. The list is generated from the pipelines which were selected in the Pipeline Manager when the Isosheet Manager was launched. If no pipelines were selected from the Pipeline Manager then all of the available pipelines are listed. Note: If only one pipeline was selected in the Pipeline Manager, then the drop down list does not appear. The components associated with the selected pipeline will be listed in the Components grid, and any existing isosheets for the pipeline will be listed in the IsoSheet grid.
Create a new Iso Sheet	Creates a new iso sheet from the components enabled in the components grid. Components can be selected in the following ways: Click a pipeline and directly select the components from the components grid. Select components in the drawing. When doing this, they will be enabled in the Pipeline Manager. If you select individual components to create and there is a disconnect found, the following message displays and the isosheet creation process will be aborted: Note: Selected components must be connected to create an iso sheet. How To Create Single IsoSheet from Multiple Pipelines If multiple pipelines were loaded into the IsoManager you are able to create a Single IsoSheet from the components of the multiple pipelines. To do this, you must pick the Select All option from the Pipeline List icon defined above.
Edit Iso Sheet	Displays the properties dialog shown below for the iso sheet allowing you to edit the certain properties. Note: For an iso sheet to be run through the Iso Manager, you must have a Design State defined in the properties dialog. How To
Delete Iso Sheet	Deletes the selected iso sheet. How To
Manage Joint Associations	This icon displays the Joint Associations Manager dialog, which list the joint information placed between connecting pipelines in the model. This allows you to view the joint details, including the fasteners and seals, move the joint association from one pipeline to the connecting pipeline if desired. How To
Generate Iso(s)	This option (which is also available from the Pipeline Manager) generates isometrics from the selected isosheet(s) and will open the OpenPlant Isometrics Manager providing options to the user to view the isometric sheets as well as the log files created with the isometrics. When running this option from the Isosheet Manager, you have the option to select which isosheets to generate isometrics from. When run from the Pipeline Manager, isometrics are automatically generated for all isosheets for the selected pipeline. How To
Isometric Styles	Press the arrow button to select an isometric style from the list: As-Built Check IFC Stress Tracing

IsoSheet Components Grid

The components grid lists the components that are associated with the selected pipeline. A toolbar with the following options is available for the components grid:

Component Sorting Filters	A drop down list provides the following options to filter what and how the components for the selected pipeline are displayed in the components grid: Show All Components (in selected pipeline) : Displays all of the components for the selected pipeline. Show all Components (in selected IsoSheet only) : Displays all of the components for the isosheet selected in the Isosheets grid. Sort by Connectivity : Show components not assigned to any isosheet : This option only displays the components for the selected pipeline which have yet to be assigned to an isosheet.
Component Selection	The following options are available for quick multi-component selection: Select Connected Components : This button only enables when a component is already selected. It will select all of the components that are connected to the selected. component. Select All : Enables the checkbox next to all of the components in the list. De-Select All : Disables the checkbox for all components in the list. Invert Selection : Will invert whatever the current selection is. (For Example: If currently all but six components are selected, this option will enable the six not currently selected, and disable the remaining components)
Remove component(s) from Isosheet	Lets you remove components from the associated isosheet as long as the removal does not cause any disconnect. How To
Move unassigned component(s) to Iso Sheet	Will move selected unassigned components to an iso sheet. You will be prompted with a common line selection dialog listing the available iso sheets. Note: Select the Show components not assigned to any isosheet sorting option to identify which components are unassigned. How To
View Options	The following options are available: Zoom : Zooms into the selected component. Isolate : Hides all other components in the model except for the selected component. Highlight : Highlights the selected component in the model. Note: You can use all of these options at the same time, or any combination of each to customize the view of the selected components.
Select Component	Check off components in the list and click this button to select the components in the model for editing mode similar to if you had used the standard

Column Sorting

Right-click on any of the column headers in either the Isosheets or Component grids and a popup menu displays providing the following options to modify/sort the information displayed in the grid columns:

Filtering	This option offers different filtering criteria depending on which grid it is launched from: Isosheets Grid - When you right click and select Filtering from a column header in the Pipelines grid, it displays a list of filtering options pertaining to the column in which the menu was launched. (For instance, if launched from the Service column, the filtering list will contain all of the available Services that were associated with the listed isosheets and only display those isosheets associated with the selected services. Click Apply Filter when finished creating the filter. Components Grid: When you right and select Filtering in the Components grid, a list of component types is displayed. This list contains all of the components that are associated with the selected pipelines. Select the component types to display and select Apply Filter. The Clear All Filters option will return you to previous view.
Sort Ascending/Descending	Right-click on any column and use the values to sort in either a Ascending or Descending view.
Group By Component Type (Components Grid ONLY)	Displays the components in groups by their component types as shown below:
Unsort	Unsort cancels any sorting options that were applied. If grouping was applied, then the Turn off Groups option is displayed.
Select Columns	Displays the Column Selection dialog allowing to select which columns to add/remove to the grid. Column placement can also be controlled with this dialog.
