Material list. Plates identified as a Straight beams

[Javier_PastorF5M4F]

Hello,

When I create a material list (Part list), some of the plates (named as PL and F) are considered as a straight Beams. The model Role in all of them is PLATE and all the proprieties are exactly the same, but some of them are in the plate section and another in straight Beams

it sounds like you use some mapping for these objects. Have a look in Management Tool, there are the basic settings. Also in Table editor, filter for MapInternToExtern. For mapping, search for the informations in Google / YouTube, there are lots of resources out there.

Thanks mate, definitely I think it is something related with it. For some plate dimensions, the software consider them as a straight beams and for others, as a plate in the BOMs. I found MapInternToExtern but not sure what should I change

@bigcarl5000kg  is correct in what he is saying.

Try looking for the option: . 

The is option in management tools that enables the mapping of plates that are a known width to a standard flat section size.

this is know as recoding.

please take a look at this article that will explain the options.
