Field Bolts For Members (data from 3D model)
Tool summary :
- Reports the number of field bolts of a particular length, diameter, etc. that are needed to erect all members assigned the same piecemark.
- The piecemarks of all members with field bolts are included in this report and listed on separate lines.
- In the example shown below, field bolts are listed on supported members. If ' Supporting ' had been selected for " Field bolts listed on which members ," then the supporting members would be shown in this report.
See columns on the report for an explanation of each of the columns that appear on this report. Also on this help page are step-by-step instructions .

Columns on the report (also see the example ) :
| Report writer links are based on the data source fields for the Report Writer's Field Bolts For Members , which you can Open in the reports/SDS2 folder. |
Line: The number of the line in this report that describes the group of field bolts in that line. Each group of field bolts in a line is the same length and diameter and is associated with a distinct piecemark.
Piecemark: The piecemark ( member piecemark ) of the member(s) fastened by this group of field bolts at the construction site. If ' Supported ' is selected for " Field bolts listed on which members ," then field bolts are listed for the supported members that were added (or for some other reason underwent Process and Create Solids ) since ' Supported ' was selected. If ' Supporting ' is selected, supporting members are listed.
Report Writer: Member.Piecemark
Count: The total number of field bolts that is found on all members with the particular piecemark reported on this line. In other words, this is the total quantity of field bolts needed to erect all members with this piecemark. If, for instance, there are three members with the same piecemark, and each of these members has four field bolts, the reported count is 12.
Diameter: The diameter of each bolt in the group of field bolts reported on this line.

Report Writer: MemberMaterial.Bolt.DiameterDimension
Type: The material grade of the bolts reported on this line. This column also includes the bolt type if ' Bolt Material & Type ' is selected for Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Bolt Detailing Settings > " Bolt designation shown in reports ."
Report Writer: MemberMaterial.Bolt.BoltTypeDescription
Length: The distance from the inside of the bolt head to the end of the shaft. The program does not include the head thickness in its calculation of bolt length because head thickness may vary among bolt manufacturers.

Report Writer: MemberMaterial.Bolt.LengthDimension
Head Washer: The number of washers under the head of the field bolt their type ( HD or PL or RPL or FL or BVL or DTI or HLS ). If this cell is left blank, then there is no washer under the head of the field bolt.

How to output a Field Bolts For Members report :
Generally field bolts are shipped loose to the construction site. A Field Bolts For Members report may be used to evaluate how many bolts of a particular length, diameter, etc. are needed to erect members with a particular piecemark.
1 . Before output of this report:
1a : This report is compiled from the 3D model. When you Process & Create Solids , you effectively update the model for your current Job , and you can then output a Field Bolts For Members that will be up to date.
1b (optional) : If you want only the steel grade to be listed in this report for the column " Type ," then set the setup option " Bolt designation shown in reports " to ' Bolt material only '.
Warning: If you change Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Bolt Detailing/Fabricaton Options > " Field bolts listed on which members ," you must Process and Create Solids all members in your current Job if you want this report to be fully up to date.
2 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin output of this report:
Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Field Bolts > Field Bolts For Members .
Method 2 : Click the Field Bolts For Members icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Reports ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning). Ribbon configuration is done using Customize Interface .
Method 3 : If " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Reports > Field Bolts > Field Bolts For Members.
3 . The Output Configuration window opens, allowing you to change where you " Send output to " (for example, to " File " or " Screen " or " Printer ").
Alternative 1 : Press " OK " to output the report as described in step 4.
Alternative 2 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without outputting the report. Do not continue.
4 . The Field Bolts For Members report is output to the device/ location that you designated.
Note: If you output to the report viewer (" Screen "), you can now review the report on screen, then optionally print it or output it to disk (see report viewer ).
