The following procedure shows how to create an Isogen isometric drawing by query using block assemblies in the model. The block assemblies have the pipe parts grouped as needed to break down the design for construction requirements.

Set Up a Drawing

You must be in the Drawings and Reports task to create a new folder and component.

  1. Right-click the drawing root in the Management Console, and then select New to display the Add Component dialog.

  2. On the General Tab, select Folder, and then click OK.

  3. In the Management Console, right-click the new folder, select Rename and type a name for the folder.

  4. Right-click the renamed folder, and click New to display the Add Component dialog.

  5. Select Isogen Isometric Drawings by Query on the General tab, and then click OK.

  6. In the Management Console, right-click the isometric drawings component, and then select Rename to rename the folder as needed.

Define a Filter

  1. To define a style for the drawing, right-click the assembly drawings component, and then select Setup to display the Setup dialog.

  2. Expand the Filter list, and then select More to display the Select Filter dialog.

  3. Click New Filter to display the Filter Properties Dialog.

  4. In the Name box, type a name for the new filter.

  5. Click the Object Type tab. In the hierarchy, expand Planning, and then select Planning Hierarchy > Assembly.

  6. Click OK.

  7. In the Filter Properties Dialog select the new filter, and then click OK.

  8. In the Setup dialog, click OK.

Define a Style

  1. To define a style for the drawing, right-click the assembly drawings component, and then click Setup to display the Setup dialog.

  2. Expand the Style list, and then select More to display the Select Drawing Style dialog.

  3. Select Iso_Assembly style, and then click OK.

Create a New Assembly Iso Package

  1. In the Management Console, right-click Piping Assembly Drawings component, and then click Save Package to open the Save Package dialog.

  2. Select the appropriate Package Name and Package Description.

  3. In the Tab Name, select General.

  4. Click OK to close the dialog.

You can save or delete the source assembly isometric drawing by query record.

Route Pipes

  1. In the Piping task, route pipes as required. See Create a new pipe run in the Piping Help.

  2. Use the commands on the Route Pipe ribbon bar to modify or route pipes. See Route Pipe in the Piping Help.

You can skip this procedure if the model has pipelines already routed.

Generate Spools

You must generate spools from the pipelines to create block assemblies for pipe runs. These block assemblies are used in individual isometric drawings. See Create spools in the Piping Help.

Create Blocks

  1. In the Planning task, create blocks that split the pipelines. See Split a block in the Planning Help.

  2. Use the commands on the Split Block ribbon to modify and split the blocks.

Assign Pipe Parts to Blocks

  1. Assign pipe parts to blocks. See Start the block assignment process in the Planning Help.

    To stop the block assignment process, see Stop the block assignment process in the Planning Help.

  2. After the process is complete, refresh the Workspace.

    A new block is created in the Assembly tab. Expand the block and you can see that all the pipe parts are under the UnAssigned Parts node.

Assign Spools to Assembly Blocks

  1. Click New (Block) Assembly.

    The software prompts you to select an assembly or assembly block contents.

  2. Select the appropriate spools within a block.

  3. Type a name for the new assembly.

  4. Click Accept .

    The software prompts you to select the parent block.

  5. Select the parent block.

  6. Click Finish to create a new assembly with spools under the parent block.

  7. Repeat the process as required.

Create Assembly Iso Drawing by Query

  1. In the Drawings and Reports task, the right-click the folder you created when setting up the drawing, and then click New.

  2. Select Drawings by Query Manager component, and rename the component as needed.

  3. Right-click the new component, and then click Setup to open the Setup dialog.

  4. Under Filter select More to open the Select Filter dialog.

  5. Click New Filter to open the New Filter Properties dialog.

  6. In the Name box, type a name for the new filter.

  7. On the Assembly tab, select the assemblies to include in the filter

  8. Click OK.

  9. In the Setup dialog, under Package select More to open the Select Package window.

  10. Select the Piping Assembly Iso package, and then click OK.

  11. Click OK to close the Setup dialog.

  12. In the Management Console, right-click the isometric piping assembly component, and click Run Query.

    The software creates the isometric piping assembly drawings under the Drawings by Query Manager folder.

  13. Right-click the piping assembly drawing, and click Create Drawing(s) to create isometric drawings for the assemblies that you created.

  14. Right-click an isometric drawing, and click Update Now.
