Field Bolts for Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet (data from 3D model)
Tool summary :
- Reports the quantity of field bolts per length/diameter and member piecemark and sequence. You can select multiple sheets.
- Field bolts in different sequences are listed on separate pages. The following example of a page lists members found in sequence 4. Members in sequences 1-3 are on pages 1-3.
Unlike a Field Bolts For Members by Sequence (which includes all members), this report includes only member sheet items for which " List in bill of material " is checked. - Even though you select members for inclusion in this report by selecting the sheet on which they are placed, the data on those members originates from the 3D model, not from the bill of material. Output a Field Bolt Listing From Sheet BOM to get data from the bill of material.
- See columns on the report for an explanation of each of the columns that appear on this report. Also on this page are step-by-step instructions .

Columns on the report (also see the example ) :
Line: The number of the line in this report that is assigned to this group of field bolts. 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 members in this sequence fastened by this group of field bolts at the construction site (the sequence is listed at the top of each page of this report). 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.
Count: The total number of field bolts on all members in this sequence 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 in this sequence, 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.
| diameter |
|
Type: The material grade of each of the field bolts specified on this line. This column also includes the bolt type if ' Bolt Material & Type ' is selected for Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Bolt Detaling/Fabrication Options > " Bolt designation shown in reports ."
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.
| length |
|
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.

Nut Washer: The number of washers under the nut 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 nut of the field bolt.

How to output a Field Bolts For Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet :
Generally field bolts are shipped loose to the construction site. A Field Bolts For Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet report may be used to evaluate how many bolts of what type are needed to erect members with a particular piecemark in a particular sequence.
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 Bolts For Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet that will be up to date.
1b : Since you select members for inclusion in this report by the sheet they are on, details need to have been placed onto detail sheets before you can output this report. Also be aware that the report counts all field bolts of those members on selected sheets which have " List in bill of material " checked. This means that if the same member is on the same sheet twice and " List in bill of material " is checked for both members, you will get double the field bolt count -- which is probably not what you want. You will also get a double field bolt count if a member is on two sheets and " List in bill of material " is checked for both.
1c (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 Settings > " 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 by Sequence, Select by Sheet .
Method 2 : Click the Field Bolts For Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet 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 by Sequence, Select by Sheet.
3 . A selection dialog opens. On it is a selection list of the detail sheets in your current Job.
|
Optional: Press the button under " Destination " to redirect the report's output destination. In this example, " Screen " indicates that output is to the report viewer . |
DS_1
Alternative 1 : Select the detail sheets you want the report to be based on, then press " OK " to output the report. Go to step 4.
Alternative 2 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without generating the report. Do not continue.
4 . The Field Bolts For Members by Sequence, Select by Sheet report is output.
Note: If you output the report 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 ).
