Steel Material Overall Summary

This is easiest via the partlist creation

there is the BEN_ET_ordered_list_H.lst for example.

In the Partlist editor in the Group footer

one can use summe04 instead of summe03 to get the resulting paint area of element types, its in the editor under Sum variables.

to get it directly one would need to write a Makro via the Dot.Net Interface.

Hi Johannes,

Many thanks for your response, however please note the following additional queries:

1. Your screen shots are too blurred and cannot be read, please also expand on your instructions as your posted ones are a little vague.

2. Where is the BEN_ET_ordered_List_H.lst located  i.e. which folder?

3. We are looking for an overall summary of material for ordering purposes, not an overall paint area.

4. An example of a typical format that we require is as my original question and preferably in .xlsx format i.e.

PL.10 = 50m2

Pl.15 = 75m2

HEB300 = 240m

L.100x100x10 = 75m

Please could you re-address this query and respond accordingly.

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Ged E
