Independent Isometrics Production

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager allows isometrics to be independently produced by document control or other supporting project personnel, freeing piping designers to focus on design activities. By managing isometric production through project-based rules, the software provides users with a way to easily generate isometrics from either OpenPlant ModelServer, an OpenPlant-based iModel, or other sources
using a simplified interface, without the need for a complex design application. It also enables project teams to output in either DGN or RealDWG formats.

Rapid Project Startup

Quickly create isometrics styles for each project through the powerful, yet easy to use graphical user interface for isometric confi guration. This eliminates the complexity and extensive time needed in other products that require switches, auxiliary configuration files, and more. Projects can begin faster, run more accurately, and address the needs of each organization more rapidly.

Automated Production

Increase the quality and accuracy of your isometric drawings with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager’s ability to extract intelligent isometrics from multiple 3D sources. Generate virtually “no touch” isometrics utilizing the application’s whitespace management engine that allows for improved drawing layouts as well as better dimension and label positioning, saving time with clear and legible isometrics. Automatically
split isometrics into multiple sheets based on different criteria to quickly generate construction deliverables based on project requirements.

Integrate Users and Projects

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager integrates with ProjectWise®, to allow finalized isometrics to be posted directly into the document repository with automatic version control. This enables team members, regardless of location, to access the most current versions of these contracted deliverables.

Provide Useful Data

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager automatically creates an intelligent fi le, which includes the graphics and associated piping data. This allows users to search and query data within these documents without the need for access to the plant design model.

Up-to-date Isometrics

Product isometrics with OpenPlant ModelServer based on design states such as “Issued for Construction.” Rules can be defined to control what type of isometric to produce and, more importantly, whether an isometric can be created if the components are not at a predetermined design state. Time spent checking and reviewing isometrics is now focused on the proper documents where the status is known.

Interoperability:
• Generate PCF fi les to pass data to existing
fabrication systems
• Produce isometrics from OpenPlant, AutoPLANT®,
and AutoPIPE®
• Create isometric deliverables in DGN or RealDWG formats
• Works with OpenPlant and AutoPLANT
Central Management
• Use a common set-up and confi guration through
ProjectWise managed Workspaces
• Store similar isometrics in a central location
• Examine components from the same model
using different views
• Navigate between models and isometrics

Design Model Component Information:
• Perform intelligent queries against components to find those with identical information to 3D design models
• View relevant data available in other areas of the design and construction process

Isometric Production:
• Separate isometric production from piping design applications
• Control isometric generation by status settings
• Generate different isometric production log files

Usability
• Easy-to-use interface designed for non-piping users –no need to understand cryptic switches, auxiliary file structures, or settings
