Export a bill of materials (BOM)
Diaz Editor turns your model into a priced BOM in three clicks. Pick a supplier database, choose the format, save.
Quick answer
File → Export → BOM.- Pick supplier database (NL, ES, DE) and format (CSV/XLSX/PDF).
- Save. Totals + per-line breakdown ready for your quote.
Step-by-step
- Open the project. The BOM reflects every component on every visible layer, so toggle off any layers you do not want included.
- Choose
File → Export → BOM. The BOM dialog opens with database, format, and grouping options. - Pick the supplier database that matches your market: NL for Dutch wholesalers, ES for Spanish, DE for German. Diaz pulls current prices and lead-times from the database for every matched component.
- Choose format. CSV for clean import into Excel/accounting tools. XLSX for native Excel with formula columns (quantity × price). PDF for client-ready visual layout.
- Optionally add labor-hours per discipline (Settings → Pricing → Labor rates). Diaz multiplies your stored rate × hours and adds a labor-section at the bottom of the BOM.
- Click Export. File lands in your project folder. Total at the bottom = component costs + labor + applicable VAT. Re-run any time after changes — the BOM updates automatically.
Watch out
- Outdated supplier prices: the database auto-refreshes on app start, but if you have been offline for 7+ days, prices may be stale. Force-refresh: Settings → Pricing → Refresh now.
- Missing labor-hours field: if your BOM shows €0 labor, you have not set hourly rates per discipline. Go to Settings → Pricing → Labor rates — set one rate per discipline and Diaz will use it across all projects.
