Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence (data from 3D model)
Tool summary :
- Reports, on each line, the quantity of shop bolts of a particular length, diameter, etc. that are needed to fabricate all members that require those shop bolts and are in a particular sequence.
- Different sequences appear on different pages in the report. All shop bolts in your current Job are reported.
- Shown below is a page from a Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence .
Since the header of this page says Sequence = 2 , all bolts that are listed on this page are for members that are in zone 2. Not shown on this page are the shop bolts in sequence 1, which are listed on page 1 of this particular Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence . - 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 ) :
Sequence: The sequence that the shop 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.ErectionSequence
Line: The number of the line in this report that is assigned to the group of shop bolts described in the line. All bolts in the same sequence that have unique specifications (as defined by their type, diameter, length, washer location) are grouped together on the same line. The sequence 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 shop bolts with the particular specifications described in the line.
Count: The total number of shop bolts described on this line. This is all such bolts that are found in the sequence that is noted at the top of this page of the report.
Diameter: The diameter of each bolt in the group of shop 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 shop 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 shop bolt.

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

TC: Yes or No . If the bolts on this line are TC (Tension Control) bolts, this cell reads 'Yes'. If the bolts are not TC bolts, the cell reads 'No'.

How to output a Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence :
A Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence can be used to ensure that the specific bolts needed in the shop to fabricate members that are in a specific sequence are in stock and available in the required quantities.
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 therefore ensure that this report is 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 '.
2 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin printing this report:
Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Shop Bolts > Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence .
Method 2 : Click the Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence icon. 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 > Shop Bolts > Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence.
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 the " OK " button 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 Shop Bolt Summary by Sequence is output to the device/ location that you designated.
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 ).
