How to change the items sorting while printing the BoQ

Antony 2018-10-23 18:36:33


I want to share a request for technical support

Request
Is it possible to change the items sorting order in the BoQ printout?

Answer
The numbering 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, ..., 6/7, 7/8, 8/9, etc., will be proposed when a different sorting order has been chosen instead of a inserting order (normal).

Looking at the technical report attached to your request, items 6, 7, 8, etc., are numbered as 6/7, 7/8, 8/9, etc., this is because in the BoQ, they are inserted in positions 7, 8, 9, etc.

If you don’t want a "double numbering", simply choose the sorting order as Normal in the General page under Print Settings.

-> see figure

The numbering method, 1/1, 2/2 ..., etc., is also proposed when items belonging to any Chapters and/or Categories are excluded from the printed document.

Therefore, in this case, under the Chapters and/or Categories page under Print Settings, there are probably some deselected Chapters (Super Chapters, Chapters and Sub Chapters ) and/or some Categories (Super Categories, Categories and Sub Categories).
-> see explanatory image

In order to obtain the 'single' numbering of the items, select the ALL option for Chapters (Super Chapters, Chapters and Sub Chapters) and/or Categories (Super Categories, Categories and Sub Categories) pages.
