What does the Create from all button do when generating a report?

The 'Create from all' command instructs the software to compile the selected report based on every object in the current 3D model, rather than just a manually selected subset.

Conditions

  • A report template has been selected.
  • The output file name and format have been set.
  • The model must contain the relevant structural elements to be quantified.

Reasoning, step by step

  1. Ensure the desired report template is selected in the Report dialog.
  2. Verify the file name and extension are set correctly.
  3. Click the 'Create from all' button at the bottom of the dialog.
  4. Review the generated preview or exported file.

Example

The narrator says, "So create from all." The visual evidence shows the button labeled "Create from all" is clicked, and the resulting preview lists data for all bolts in the model.

Common misconceptions

  • Assuming the button only reports on currently highlighted objects; it explicitly runs the report on the full model.
