hey Jozef,

i would simply create a drawing of the model and create a recursive BOM with your specs.

Hello !

Hard to find something in Pro/E, maybe someone else will find an easier solution than this one :

You can create a Repeat Region (table) in a drawing (Recursive, No Duplicates) then insert the following parameters : asm.mbr.name & rpt.qty

Then in the table you will get all the references contained in your model with the count for each component.

Just ask if you need some more assistance.

I hope it helps.

Thanks for solution. I was looking for something just in assembly enviroment, not in drawing.

I missed the blocks count... You may save the table as a CSV to get the components sum through a simple relation in Excel.

Info\Bill of Materials

Depending on your settings, it should save a file called (top level).bom.1. Rename the extension to '.txt', open in your text editor, and scroll to the bottom...

Nice model, by the way!

Is there a open database of Lego part models somewhere?
