The BOM on my Isometrics is showing multiple valves in a single line item. The valves are different sizes but, the same item code. How can I fix this issue? I am using Plant3D 2014 ext.2.

That's what the item code is for - to group items that are the same. Is there a reason you can't use different item codes?

I am using the 'ItemCode' to designate the valve code number which is the same for each type of valve regardless of size. Please let me know how to create a new query in the Plant3D setup as I have no idea how this is accomplished.

Thanks for your help but, I am not seeing what you describe. In the Project Setup I don't see engineering items. I do see pipe run component under plant 3d class definitions\piping and equipment but, I don't see any queries there.
You will need to add the property to your catalog and project. This is what I did when I ran into the same problem. See pics:

I appreciate your help in this matter. My confusion with your previous message was your use of the term 'query'. What your were referring to was 'properties' such as 'item code' and 'material code'. What I really need is to find out how the 'item code' is used to generate the Iso BOM. Hopefully this would then allow me to change the procedure to take into account different sizes.
