Additional Items for Material Take-off

Items which are not part of the pipe (that is, items which are not dimensioned or shown graphically on the isometric) can be shown on the material list. Examples of this type of item are flange jacking screws, valve handwheel chains and extra blanks for testing. The additional items are associated with a normal piping component.

The additional items are associated with a piping component by setting the reference array attribute MTOR of the piping component to point to up to 20 additional Specification references (SPREFs). The item codes and descriptions will be extracted as normal.

The Detail and Material texts of the additional items are set as normal. A length or a quantity can be set for an additional item by setting the detail text element MTOL or MTOQ attributes, respectively. The description or quantity will appear in the Material list under Miscellaneous items.
