Build vent/drain assembly?

[thebearjed]

Is it possible in Plant 3D to build an assembly for vents/drains? For example, to have an olet-nipple-valve-plug insert as 1 component but show up individually in the BOM?

Have you had a chance to read the help item related to assemblies in the Plant 3D help?

To create and use assemblies

Model your component assembly in plant 3d, use wblock command to save it on a folder(this will be your assembly library). Then thats it, use import block to use your assembly in the model.

finally got around to trying this out. not ideal. have to make too many blocks for every spec and orientation, plus it does not insert on the current line number....too much work IMO.
