Special Custom Attribute
Any component type can be marked as a Special Item by applying the custom attribute "OPOM_SPECIAL_ITEM" to the component in the OpenPlant_3D Supplemental_Modeling schema in the project folder. (See Below)
The custom attribute does not have a property and will not be displayed. Orthographics Manager uses the custom attribute to identify a special item.
