Material Reports

You can create a material report of a building in two different ways:

• Generate a material report to a Microsoft Excel file (xlsx). The source of the report is an XML file (components.xml). The components and attributes to be collected from the file, as well as the data sorting and the sheet layout, are defined in a template report, which is an xlsx file.

• Collect the materials used in the building or the active drawing-model pair, and create a listing to a text file. Additionally, you can generate various material reports with the Vertex BD Architectural or Pro product.
