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. You can optionally pick a phase template (see below) to pre-fill its batches.
• 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.

Phase templates and automation ​

These tools speed up setting up a phase and filling its batches. The buttons appear in the matrix toolbar when a phase (batch view) is selected.

Phase templates ​

A phase template is a reusable set of batches, defined once per company. Each batch in the template has a name and an optional list of name prefixes and a production line.

Templates are managed in Company → Phase templates. When you create a phase, choosing a template automatically creates its batches in that phase, including their prefixes.

A phase created from a template shows a ✨ icon next to its name. Open the phase menu and choose Set phase template to see which template is applied or to apply a different one — its batches are created or updated to match.

Batch prefixes ​

Each batch can carry the name prefixes used for auto-numbering. A batch with prefixes shows a split icon next to its name. Open the batch menu and choose Prefixes to view or edit them. Templates fill these in automatically, but you can adjust them per batch at any time.

Add panels for module counts ​

In the phase view, set how many of each module you want in a phase, then click Add panels for module counts. The panels each module contains are taken from the stored splitter counts and set on the same phase, multiplied by the module count. This works whether you used the project splitter or only the module splitter.

A dialog asks whether to set the numbers in batches too:

• Also batches — set the phase totals and also distribute them into the phase's batches by prefix (so you can generate right away).
• Only phases — set just the phase totals and leave the batches untouched.
• Close — do nothing.

The panel totals are recalculated from the module counts each time, so clicking the button again does not double the counts.

Hover the tree icon next to a module's name to see its decomposition — the panel (assembly) design names and how many of each the module contains.

Auto-allocate by prefix ​

In the batch view (with a phase selected), click Auto-allocate by prefix to send each design's phase number into the batch whose prefix matches the design name. When a name matches several prefixes, the longest (most specific) prefix wins. Designs that match no batch are reported and left unassigned.

Together these give a simple flow: place module numbers on a phase → add the panels for those modules → switch to the phase's batches and auto-allocate by prefix → generate.

Generating Constructibles ​

Once your quantities are defined, click Generate Constructibles to create the actual assembly and module instances based on the matrix counts.

Area Metrics ​

Toggle the area display to see total square meters alongside quantity counts. This helps estimate material requirements and production workload.
