Creating Build of Materials with Aecosim

Question

Is there a tutorial to create build of material into excel file. I have created HVAC models created with AecoSim. 
 There are RFA placed diffusers used and also diffusers of AecoSim. And how to automatic create a sheet file with these code of the diffusers, airflows of diffusers and airflows of the duct. 
 Best regards, 
 Andy Parinussa

Andy, you can use the DataGroup Explorer to create a build of material list and export it to Excel. It should include all AECOsim HVAC diffusers, as well as any RFA diffusers as long as they were imported using the RFA Wizard to include their DataGroup Properties. Then those properties will be listed in the report. You can look at the Bentley Building Help and search on "DataGroup Explorer Quantifications" and "DataGroup Explorer Schedule Properties Dialog" for more information.

Hi Andy, 
If I'm reading your last question correctly, yes, AECOsim Building Designer Ss6 and later does support bi-directional editing; i.e., change the data in Excel and those changes can be propagated back to the 3D Model:
