The current headings and fields are fine, but I couldn't find one that had dimensions of L/W/H and then calculates cubic meters. Fields I need: -No. of part i.e. 1,2,3... -Qty of Part Needed -Part Name/Description -Quality of Mat'l -Dimensions L x W x H -Total Area of Part (cubic units) Did I miss this in the fields? How can I customize this feature to reflect my requirements? I've been using excel and feel that it would be better/easier to do all of this within Shark itself. I searched the forum and found an old (2007) tutorial from Tim but it didn't seem to show anything in the way of customizing headings. Thanks!!

I wish that a master number could be fixed to at least one piece of original geometry (as if the the parent DNA) so that anything added to the initial pieces has a master number. Any subsequent changes would not alter the original number. Also, it would be nice if a user field allowing ad-hoc naming or layer info could be part of the BOM. Last i looked i felt i couldn't do some things i'd been asking for, then forgot because i had ohter fish to fry.
