Overview

This feature allows you to generate a structured BOM from a STEP file and a Master Parts List.

⁠

Generate a BOM

The instructions below assume you have already processed a STEP file that includes all child parts in its structure.

Launch Zea Sync.

Process a

Master Parts List⁠

⁠

Make sure it includes a row that specifies the STEP file as the service part number or engineering part number.

Note: If you import a Serial Number number list that specifies the root assembly file, it will automatically generate a ‘Non Discoverable’ part for the STEP file.

Return to the Zea Platform and navigate to Zea Parts.

The parent assembly will now have a BOM, and each child will be a selectable, orderable part.

Note: These parts will appear red in the Parts tab of Zea Parts since they are not directly mapped to CAD files.

⁠

Matching Methods

You can match STEP file parts to your Master Parts List in three ways:

Exact Match

If the STEP file contains the exact part numbers, enter them in the Engineering Part Number column.

Partial Match with Regex

If the names are similar but not identical (e.g., extra suffixes), use the expected part number in the Engineering Part Number column and apply a regex to match.
