While I was cadding a base for Over Under, I thought that it might be helpful to have a way to extract a BOM from Fusion 360 and put it in the notebook. I edited a program to do that, but when I run it in Fusion, it generates parts out of nowhere and it doesn’t include some parts. Below is a photo of my chassis, the BOM fusion gives me, and the code. Could anyone help me find a way to generate a proper BOM list?
import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback
def walkThrough(bom):
mStr = ''
for item in bom:
if item['name'][len(item['name'])-2]=='v':
mStr += (item['name'][:-2]+ ": ") + str((item['instances']))+"\n"
else:
mStr += (item['name']+ ": ") + str((item['instances']))+"\n"
return mStr
def run(context):
ui = None
try:
app = adsk.core.Application.get()
ui = app.userInterface
product = app.activeProduct
design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)
title = 'Extract BOM'
if not design:
ui.messageBox('No active design', title)
return
# Get all occurrences in the root component of the active design
root = design.rootComponent
occs = root.allOccurrences
# Gather information about each unique component
bom = []
for occ in occs:
comp = occ.component
jj = 0
for bomI in bom:
if bomI['component'] == comp:
# Increment the instance count of the existing row.
bomI['instances'] += 1
break
jj += 1
if jj == len(bom):
# Add this component to the BOM
bom.append({
'component': comp,
'name': comp.name,
'instances': 1,
})
# Display the BOM
title = "Name: Instances"
msg = title + '\n' + walkThrough(bom)
ui.messageBox(msg, 'Bill Of Materials')
except:
if ui:
ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
