List of welded parts bent tube

2D plans Layout

Hello

I'm trying to make a drawing of a chassis made from the mechanically welded function of solidworks (with round tubes) and when I wanted to add the list of welded parts I realized that the list didn't fit at all with what I expected to have.

Basically, here is a screenshot of my chassis:

I expected to have 4 identical bent tubes (the 4 "feet"), and 2 pairs of tubes for the reinforcements (diagonally), but I realize that solidworks considered each "foot" as 5 tubes because of the bending.

Is there a way to correct this? To make my sketches I used leaves, would I have had to do everything with a spline or with another tool ?

Well apparently you just had to check the box "Merge bodies created with arc segments" for each group that corresponded to a "foot".
