Appearance
Quantities / BoM Matrix
The Quantities view lets you plan how many of each design to produce across project phases and batches. It uses a matrix layout where you define quantities before generating the actual constructibles.
Matrix Layout
The matrix is organized as:
- Rows — Design names (assemblies and modules). Only the latest revision of each design is shown.
- Columns — Project phases (or batches, depending on the view).
- Cells — The quantity count for each design × phase combination.
- Totals — Row totals (all phases for a design) and column totals (all designs in a phase).
View Modes
Phase View
Shows a high-level summary with one column per project phase. Each cell shows the total quantity of a design across all batches in that phase.
Batch View
Select a specific phase to drill down into its batches. Each column represents a batch, showing the detailed quantity breakdown.
Managing Quantities
- Edit cells — Click on a quantity cell to change the count.
- Add phase — Create a new project phase.
- Add batch — Create a new batch within a phase.
- Delete phase/batch — Remove from the project.
- Save — Persist the quantity matrix.
- Load from project — Restore previously saved quantities.
Generating Constructibles
Once your quantities are defined, click Generate Constructibles to create the actual assembly and module instances based on the matrix counts.
WARNING
Before generating, validate that your phase counts match your batch counts. The system will warn you if there are discrepancies.
Area Metrics
Toggle the area display to see total square meters alongside quantity counts. This helps estimate material requirements and production workload.
