    We run into this issue quite often and the only workaround is to change the bolt length on the isometric sheet manually.

    Lug Joint on valves needs complex calculations and the provided functionality is currently not working, well last time I tried testing this. From the wiki article this is what the calculation is meant to be. At the moment OPM seems to be ignoring the Bolt_Gap.

    Length = Flange_Thickness + Gasket_Thickness + (Valve_Length / 2) – Bolt_Gap

    Currently Lugged bolts are calculated randomly and lengths in our configuration is generated longer that even flanged connections.

    Please allow correct lugged component bolt length calculations.
