I don't know if it is possible to display the properties of a part body in an assembly BOM.
I think the easiest solution would be to make a note as shown at the beginning of the post and link this note to a custom property that you can retrieve in your nomenclature.

That's why I originally tried to find this property in the properties of my part without having to make a nomenclature.
Do you want the surface of the whole room or just on one side?? Because in properties there is the total area of the room with all the openings. I checked manually.

I need the flat sheet metal surface to determine my raw material consumption.
To retrieve this value without going through a table, there are 2 solutions:
- the 1st is to go through a third-party software smartproperties (as mentioned above) and smartproperties must be launched and retrieves the value from you when you launch it and creates a property that you can then retrieve in an MEP or nomenclature...
See attached image
- The 2nd is to go through macros and develop but for that I couldn't help you.

If you have smartproperties you have to do like @ sbadenis or else create a note in the room and transfer the result manually to a custom property that you can find in your bills of materials. It's a real shame not to be able to link a custom property to a rating when the opposite is possible!!
With the smart properties software, the value will be calculated each time the software is launched or the link is made once and the value is automatically updated?
No, unfortunately, the smartproperties must be updated. The property is written at the time the smartproperties is launched.
So to have my speeds up to date before launching a business (length and width of sheet metal) I use integration which launches the smartproperties on each sheet metal part contained in an assembly or a directory.
Painful but not found better for the moment.
