BOM Qty and Unit of Measurement relation

I was wondering if, in an Assembly BOM, the qty could accurately reflect a value relative to the unit of measure selected for the BOM Part?
To clarify, here is my setup:
Part A
- Unit of measure is set to inches
- The part is a Wire:
- - Created using a sweep along a 3d spline (5 inches)
- - The desired inches measurement would be relative to the length of the 3D Spline (5 inches)
Assy A
- Contains Part A
- In the BOM:
- - Part A qty displays as 1, not 5 like I expect
Am I missing a step to get this to work correctly or is it simply not a thing?

Qty is part count, so in your example it would be 1. Items can be used to show different quantity values but that would not be parametric to your wire. You could use FeatureScript to set the length to a custom property and display that as an extra field in the BOM, but the Qty field would still say 1.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI5
