How to put true pipe length in SolidWorks BOM

How to put true pipe length in SolidWorks BOM

How to put true pipe length in SolidWorks BOM

(OP)
Hi...I have a problem with SolidWorks..I don't know if I'm on right forum, but I hope that someone here can help me..Here is my problem. I need to put the true pipe length in my BOM, but I don't know how. When I have a pipe that goes through the shell, I don't know how to make solid works to calculate it's true length. He can only link my length of extrusion to the BOM, but, when I cut that pipe with another cilinder then it is a problem

If I use part to create the pipe, I use EXTRUDE to some length, and I can link that dimension to the BOM, but, when I create an assembly ("ASSEMBLY"), solidworks, wont calculate the appropriate length. Can someone help me on this one?

True length of the pipe can be seen on picture "True_pipe".

Here are the pictures:
