Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant Modeler Version(s): 08.11.09.xxx Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit) Area: Component Subarea: Data Original Author: Justinas Lipnickas , Bentley Product Advantage Group Background If during some point of your project, you change your Element Templates or Named Expressions, already modeled pipelines are not automatically redrawn to represent new look. You need to manually 'trick' OpenPlant Modeler into redrawing your old components and unfortunately, there is no tool or key-in to do just that. There are multiple commands in OpenPlant Modeler which does redraw components after them, but I would recommend to use "Edit Insulation" in Pipeline Manager, as it requires very little user input and does redraw all components as needed. Note: this is only applicable to users working in a file based mode, users working with a OpenPlant ModelServer setup should not get into these kind of issues, as updated Element Template should be used on the next component check-out. Steps to Accomplish Open Pipeline Manager, select the line(s) you would like to update, click Edit Insulation button; If your line has no insulation, just add some to it (there is no difference in the settings), click OK. After component update finishes, Edit the insulation again and check on the Remove Insulation to get your pipeline to the original state. After these updates, your pipeline should have a new Element Template applied to it, according to the changed Named Expressions. If your pipeline already has some insulation, you would need to switch the order of steps 2-3, by firstly removing insulation, and then adding it back again. Comments or Corrections?
