About Technology Preview Features

Some features delivered with this edition of OpenPlant Modeler are specifically identified as "Technology Preview" features.

Technology Preview features are:

currently unsupported
may not be functionally complete
not suitable for use/deployment in production

However, these features are provided to you as a courtesy and the primary goal is for the feature to gain wider exposure with the goal of full support in the future.

You may find these features useful in a non-production environment. You are welcome to provide feedback and functionality suggestions for a Technology Preview feature before it becomes fully supported. Bentley Systems intends to fully support Technology Preview features in a future release, at which time the features will no longer be identified as Technology Preview features.

Technology Preview Features for OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition Update 4

The following are Technology Preview Features in OpenPlant Modeler CONNECT Edition. Please contact Bentley Support for more details.

Feature	Description
PlantSight Integration	PlantSight works in conjunction with a Connected Project which the project administrator will create and setup in the Bentley CONNECTION Center. Here a user can synchronize changes made to a local drawing sessions to it making those changes available to any user with permissions to login to the project. Note: iModel schema upgrade is not supported for the Technology Preview. Note: When syncing data with PlantSight the Differencing Dialog should always be enabled.
Tag Browser	The Tag Browser displays existing component tags which have been created in PID and available to assign to 2D or 3D components.
Volume Tools	A Volume Tools section has been added to PlantSight ribbon letting you Create Volumes from solid slabs/extrusions which can be stored and queried in PlantSight database. Options to check/reference out components within defined volumes are available. An addition option has been added to Reference out components around an element in the model giving you the ability to view what components are around a selected component.
Consistency Manager	This new utility lets you view the database consistency between what components are placed in the 2D model vs the 3D model. It also provides options to generate and view reports of the database records stored on PlantSight.
Tag Validation Dialog	This dialog has been added to PlantSight Checkin/Update process and checks for duplicate tags for the components being checked in or updated to PlantSight. It identifies the components with duplicate tags and lets you modify them then re-start the checkin process.
