Hi All, is there a way I can create BOM from blocks? We manufacture yards/fences. Working with part files double up the work and increase the file size. Any help is appreciated.

Drawings are created by inserting standard size panels (blocks) in the assembly context. We use 10 different lengths (1.2 m,1.6,2.1m etc and blocks for gates , and other feature walls) After creating layout using blocks I insert simplified parts in to assembly. Then create BOM. The drawings are only 2D to find out how many panels , gates and other feature walls required to construct it.
I can do it in autocad, but I would prefer solidworks if there is an easy way.
Do you make any part/assemblies in SW for your yards/fences?
Confused on your work flow and what are your blocks consisted of?
