Clearing BOM Content

You might need to clear content from BOM cells to update BOM information or to create overrides. Press CTRL and left-click to clear the contents of the cell in which you want to create an override.

You must clear your materials clipboard and your color clipboard before you can clear the contents of a cell. If you do not, the contents of the materials clipboard are pasted into any cell in the Material column, and the contents of the color clipboard are pasted into any cell in a Colorway column.

When the contents of the cell have been cleared, click the cell to enter a new content. The ability to enter content might be restricted by material constraints of the BOM section, or the color control mode of the material entered. For more information on material constraints and color control modes, see Adding Materials and Adding Colors.
