Example :
Shown below is a sample page from a Field Bolt Summary by Zone . Field bolts with different specifications are listed on different lines, and field bolts in different zones are listed on different pages. See columns on the report for an explanation of each of the columns that appear on this report.

Columns on the report (also see the example ) :
| Report writer links are based on the data source fields for the Report Writer's Field Bolt Summary By Zone , which you can Open in the reports/SDS2 folder. |
Zone: The zone that the field bolts listed in the following columns are in.
Sequences and zones: When a member is assigned a sequence, it is also assigned to a zone. Many sequences may be assigned to one zone, but different zones cannot be assigned the same sequence. As a consequence of this, each physical member is in one sequence and in one zone. The Zone and Sequence setup table tells you which sequences are under which zones.
Report Writer: Member.ErectionZone
Line: The number of the line assigned to this particular group of field bolts . All bolts in the same zone that have unique specifications (as defined by their type, diameter, length, washer location) are grouped together on the same line. The zone is noted at the top of each page of the report.
Column 2: The word " summary " appears on each line in this column as a reminder that the line is a summary of all field bolts with the particular specifications described in the line.
Count: The total number of field bolts described on this line. This is all such bolts that are found in the zone that is noted at the top of this page of the report.
Diameter: The diameter of each bolt in the group of field bolts reported on this line.
| diameter |

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 the setup option " 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 and 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 Bolt Summary by Zone :
Generally field bolts are shipped loose. This is an excellent report to use for ordering the field bolts that are to be shipped to particular zones at a construction site.
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 . You can then output a Field Bolt Summary by Zone 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 ," set the setup option " Bolt designation shown in reports " to ' Bolt material only '.
2 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin output of this report:
Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Field Bolts > Field Bolt Summary by Zone .
Method 2 : Click the Field Bolt Summary by Zone 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 Bolt Summary by Zone.
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 Bolt Summary by Zone is output to the device/ location that you designated.
Note: If you output the report be 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 ).
