Make Part from an Assembly

Colm_Rev

I,m having a bit of an issue when I develop a BOM (Using Google Sheets) from an assembly.
Within the main assembly is a sub-assembly.
This sub assembly is listed in the BOM as multiple parts. (Which I don't want)
I read there is no option to exclude a part from the BOM.

To overcome this I was hoping to make a part file from an assembly.
I cannot see how this is done or if it can be done.

Anyone have a workaround so the assembly is just a single line in the BOM

Thanks

Ok, there are more than one question in your post. I recomended to post each question in a different post

BOM in Onshape still need some improvements, but I will try to explain that part later.

If all the parts in the assembly are connected, you could:

1. create a new part in context from the assembly
2. Transform with the option copy in place all the parts you need
3. Create an union boolean feature with all the parts
