ACrisford Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi, Im a relatively new user to vector works, previously used revit for years. I am looking for a way to quantify components in a project, down to the last nut and bolt. Ive heard it can be done with a part list under AEC> Machine Design> Parts list. However I cannot figure out how to do this? Also, is there a way to quantify, for instance, the total length of steel channel in the entire project? Thanks, any input would be helpful!

ACrisford Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks BIMGuy, Im not actually designing any machinery. Sorry, I shouldve been a bit clearer. I work for a stone masonry company, and I am trying to create a complete schedule of components used in a building for masonry fixings. For instance, we use the hilti product range, which includes channels, brackets, bolts and masonry tiles. Just want to know, if I model the building completely in 3d, including placing every bolt into the model, is there a way to retroactively calculate how many I have placed? Or any other component for that matter? Quote Link to comment
ACrisford Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Figured it! Went to Tools>Reports>VA Create Schedule. Then its a matter of using the table like an excel spreadsheet [/img] Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
