Applies To Product(s): AutoPLANT Piping Version(s): 08.11.06.30 Environment: N/A Area: N/A Subarea: N/A Original Author: Richard DeLong, Bentley Technical Support Group Overview There is a known issue when using the AutoFit command with some of the out of the box specs, causes an Unresolved intersections. There are a number of other possible causes for this, but this issue in particular is happening because the spec has two possible Classes that it can use for these bends, the normal AT_ELBOW_LR_90 and the AT_GENERAL_BEND. The AT_GENERAL_BEND is not the correct class and will result in the program drawing a General Bend rather then an elbow. By default, the AT_ELBOW_LR_90 is selected by the program, so all that is needed is the Intersections to be Resolved. Below one can see an example of this issue and the dialog that appears for it. In the "Cause of Failure" column, one can see that the cause is called "Multiple Classes Found", which is the exact issue we have here. Some users may not want this to be an issue at all so that their drafters can just place the exact component they wish without worrying about whether or not the correct one was placed. This can be done by removing the General Bend from the spec's Auto Bend table. Follow the steps below to do this. Steps to remove the General Bend from Auto Bend Load up the spec in SpecGen Go to Spec Auto Bend The Auto Bend dialog should appear now, notice that the Base General Bend Component is listed here and is checked To remove this, just uncheck all the sizes that you wish to not use this Component Hit OK to close out the Auto Bend dialog Build the Spec Close out of SpecGen Go back into Piping Test to see if the error appears again or not See Also Product TechNotes and FAQs Plant TechNotes And FAQs External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
