Multiple Project Configurations

• Works with different project units (imperial/metric)
• Configuration settings are saved to a project setting file and can be reloaded to maintain existing drawing conditions

Single/Double Line Drawing Output

• Allows user to create single/double line drawing output
• Line display can be controlled through pipe size

Hidden Line Option

• Hidden line drawings for 3D models can be controlled through on/off settings
• Various options are available to control hidden line output
  • Pipe (single/double line display with industry standard 2D symbols)
  • Elbow (Weld/SW and THD type), Tee
  • Option to show centerlines

Built-in Reports

• Available for pipe, support, equipment, and instrument lists

Labeling Priority & Control with 2D Free Space Search and Optimization

OpenPlant Orthographics Manager’s white space search algorithm quickly finds free spaces in general arrangement drawings for labeling of various design components, such as instruments, supports, nozzles, reducers, and line numbers. This optimizes legibility by eliminating messy markups and drawing rework, and reduces output time from hours to minutes.

• Enhanced algorithm finds free spaces in general arrangement drawings for the optimal placement of labels
• Avoids interference of the label (e.g. text string and leaders) with other text or geometry in the drawing
• Gives ability to control interference through user interface generation option
• Ability to set priority of label (pipe, control valves, supports) in the drawing to avoid overlapping interference on highly detailed drawings
• Effectively and efficiently uses the space around a tagged item
• Uses two types of label control options based on:
  • Internal density
  • Boundary area

Multi-views and Composite Views

• Supports multiple views of 3D design to create composite drawings
• Ability to interactively select desired clipping sections

Publish Deliverables to ProjectWise Share

OpenPlant Orthographics Manager integrates with ProjectWise for project information management and collaboration cloud services. The integration enables a connection to any ProjectWise repository to directly download models and upload drawings. You can quickly find and share information without having to send files via email or distribute through file transfer networks, saving time and overall costs.

• Exchange files of any size quickly through a centralized, easy-to-use platform
• Allow designated project participants to easily access project deliverables without opening your firewall
• Discover up-to-date files readily by organizing them in an intuitive, project-based context
• Reduce disruptions to your workflows via integration with other select Bentley design applications

Runtime Options
