BOM Pane

The BOM (bill of materials) pane shows the BOM tree, which lists geometry actors with their BOM IDs, quantities, and other properties and meta-properties. The BOM tree defines what appears in the BOM table.

To display the BOM pane, click Window > Show/Hide > BOM Tree.

Notes:

  • If the BOM tree is empty, create BOM IDs from the BOM Workshop. See BOM Workshop.
  • To display the BOM table in the viewport, select Home > Visibility > BOM Table in the ribbon, or enable Panels > BOM in the Collaboration pane.

Tip: You can change the BOM Description by clicking a row in the BOM tree and pressing F2 . This does not change the group/actor name.

Icon Command Name Description
Show Visible Actors Only Includes only visible actors in the BOM tree and BOM table. To include all actors, unselect this command.

Tip: To define a default state for new documents, set BOM.Filter on the (Default) Document Properties - Advanced Properties page. See Advanced Properties.

Configure BOM Columns Displays the Configure Columns dialog box, where you select columns to display. See Configure Columns.

Tip: You can change BOM IDs from the Properties pane of a geometry actor.
