Help with external BOM

[daniel.tarnowski]

I am running AS 2020 USA build.  I have successfully (almost!) created a list of the model objects I want to import into a material list summary report.  I would like to exclude the bolts from this report.  Is there a straight forward way I can do this?

When creating my lists, I tried selecting by model objects with only beam and plate checked, but the report is still including bolts.

Thanks for the help.

Have a look at these objects.

With a bit of additional searching I believe I found my solution.

The response below was from Alex Giles from a different post.

"Try opening BOM Editor (Output > Document Manager > BOM Editor). Select the assembly list you want to edit under the User folder. Right click on the list name in the folder tree and select Report Contents. In that box you can tick "Bolts" and "Site bolts". Tick Exploded Bolts too if you want nuts and washers shown separately rather than listing bolts as assemblies. Save the template and try using it. Remember to make sure you use the User template not the Advance one."

Thank you!  You had just beat me to it.

I very much appreciate the quick response.
