First a bit of 'fan mail':  Thanks beyond words, Michael!  As an old{er|ish}
<grin> AutoCAD/CASE tool user, I can appreciate the amount of work you've put

at least; nobody has produced a perfectly intuitive tool!) but the overall
tool-set is quite extraordinary!  Great work, and I thank you for it.

So that this would be a 'visual' bill-of-materials explosion, then?  Even if
this only approximates the same sort of BOM that you're already providing in
text, I will find it to be extremely useful.
