RESISTOFLEX - fixed pipe lenght - ISO drg problem

[MOLGRAND]

Hi,

I have created a piping spec using the RESISTOFLEX cat within P3D2016 - it all models well, however when you run the Isos they run ok, but the flanges are drawn on top of each other - see attached. It doesn't seem to make any difference if you change the SKEY, the bit that controls the pipe at each end is the TYPE=PIPE-FIXED portion.

SKEY=FPFL,TYPE=PIPE-FIXED

Has anyone had a similar experience & how can it be overcome?

Thanks

Hi Gary,

I can't reproduce the issue shown in your screen shots.

Would you be happy to share a small sample project for me to take a look at?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,
Yes that would be good thanks - see attached for a couple of files I think you would need


kind Regards

Hi,

Looking at your Iso it shows a gasket (G4) - these don't have gaskets!

Hi Gary

If you use the PLANTENDCODES command and deselect the Flange Like option for the LFL Endcode,

you should get the following result:

Is that the result you need?

Thanks,

Hi,

No it should be shown as 2 separate flanges as they are 2 separate items spaced apart where a gasket should be ie as per your original Iso but not with the gasket.

Thanks.

Hi Gary,

One option is to edit the iso symbol so that it looks like two separate flanges.

Am I correct in thinking that you don't need the individual flanges listed in the BOM and that it is just the visual appearance that you need in the iso?

Thanks,

Dan

[MOLGRAND]

Hi,

Yes its just the appearance of the ISO line work - the BOM is correct (as per the original ISO 1.png file posted). I get the feeling that this must be a bug - if the Iso pipe spool symbol works correctly when a gasket is asked for & doesn't draw correctly when the gasket isn't required (ie when using lined piping). However if it is a bug, I am surprised that it hasn't been reported before or am I missing something!

Did you get the files via the drop box?

Thanks

I have the same problem that MOLGRAND is having.  It draws the two flanges as a sing flange rather than two separate flanges.  I've found that the lined pipe module in P3D is barely usable at best.  Way too much clean up and issues like this.

Hi Gary,

Yes, I got the files that you sent.

I will report the issue with the flanges being drawn on top of each other in the iso to our developers.

In the meantime does un-checking the "Flange like" option and editing the Flange-Lined block so it looks like two flanges work for you?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi, thanks for the investigation - so from what your saying it is a bug then!

This looks ok for a pipe & flanged elbow, however did you try it with the flanged tee & the wafer inst tees or the wafer butterfly valves - I am sure on the wafer items it may not be a good enough solution.

I'm surprised it hasn't come up before.

Thanks

Dear All,

I am also not satidfied with ISO output with lined pipes and fittings.I would expect, that for every piece it is possible to define each end separatelly (also for fixed pipe). Lined pipes have usually one end fixed and one end loose (see attachment), but also all other alternatives are possible. So flange type (fixed or loose) shall be fully represented also on ISO drawing. What I am also missing is DIN part of Resistoflex catalog. For many catalogs there is normally only ANSI available.

Best regards, Tomaz

Has this issue been resolved?

No

Hi

I am getting the same problemhas a soultion been found?

looks like to me that the 

SKEY=FLSE,TYPE=PIPE-FIXED does not put the flanges on the pipe

[BIMDraughting]

in my isometric my pipes have no flanges

Same issue here in 2024, even with the update CPAK from Resistoflex. Can we get this fixed?

[km4504]

I had to recreate my model and spec in 2024. Using an old spec was the bug for ResistoFlex.

Hi, could you share the solution for me too (2022).

I have the same problem.
