Hi Uri,

The BOM by levels does not take names of the sub-levels only counts the number of entities to get the quantity count in BOM.  One thing to try would be to move (in a temp file of assembly) the sub levels to the left to be main levels.  You might want to do ths for each sub-assembly.

There are other possiblites, Can you send file.  I'll email you my contact info

Rather than creating the BOM from levels using virtual objects, use the actual solids.  Using generic edit*, open the "standard properties" page for each solid.  Here, you can set part number, description, vendor, etc.  Then you create a BOM (using a previously created template), pick "add/remove entities", and presto, you have a BOM listing all the parts and quantities.

* or rather than using generic edit, here is a kxl I use, which allows you to set multiple solids at the same time:



// EntProps.kxl
// D.M. Hague 2019
// This program applies specified properties to selected entities for later BOM use
