GOAL = to have as many custom components (strainers, flow conditioning devices, pumps etc) mappable + able to pull directly from p&iD line list as humanly possible.
Yes, i'm aware AND have succeeded in producing a link (mapping) to custom valve components making them work perfectly from P&id line list<-(spec editor). HOWEVER; what happens if my custom component isn't a valve? Example, a strainer... or a flow conditioning device
<-(tool palette)? When creating THESE components, there isn't a "valve alignment" + "valve body type" section. What category do we place THESE custom components under?
<-(spec editor)?
PROCESS = When creating custom 3d valves to map to p&id components, you have to; 1-create 3d design. 2-make that a block + "plantpartconvert" etc. 3-create spec editor component+add to your project's catalog/spec. 4-Edit correct P3DENUMERATION file using correct "valve body type" and "valve alignment" data from spec editor. 5-map in your project's setup.
QUESTION = What is step 3+4 equivalent process when creating custom strainer(or any non-valve component) instead?

Hi @michaels,
Only certain component types have the subtypes that are needed to make individual mappings for different types of the same component type.
The following article explains this in more detail:

Thanks,
