As mentioned in the Material summaries section, the Woodwork for Inventor BOM generator, while performing data gathering, generates a material table listing all materials used in the product structure. Each item about a material has its own attributes defining a material. These attributes are listed in the table below:
Material defining fields |
Explanations |
|---|---|
Material.Code |
Material code is taken from the material database or from the completed material name replacement during this replacement process. |
Material.Name |
Material name is taken from the material database or from the completed material name replacement during this replacement process. |
Material.Type |
Material type. Value options: Solid, Board, Laminated Board, Multilayer Board, Rod, Desktop, Veneer, Edge Band, Paint. |
