Attaching Referenced Models

This procedure details how to attach referenced models when working locally and not within a ProjectWise environment.
When modeling in a OpenPlant Support Engineering drawing file, the support components are positioned using referenced models which include the piping, structural and equipment type components. These drawings are referenced in as i-Models. i-Models are created from 3D models and include essential project information such as business properties, 3D geometry, 2D graphics, references and links to other models/project information etc.
  1. To attach referenced files, select Tools > Reference > References from the menu.

    The References dialog opens.

    A number of i-models attached as references.

  2. To add new i-model(s), click the Attach Reference icon.

    The Attach Reference dialog opens.

  3. In the Attach Reference dialog, select the i-model(s) to reference and click Open to add the i-model(s) to the list of referenced files.
  4. To control the display of the referenced file(s), select the file from the list and toggle the Display icon.
