Shop Bolt Summary (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.
- The Shop Bolt Summary provides a listing of all shop bolts of all types and sizes in the 3D model for your current Job .
- Shown below is a page from a Shop Bolt Summary .
This single page lists all shop bolts used in the entire Job. Shop bolts with different specifications appear on different lines. - See, on this page, columns on the report and the step-by-step instructions .

How to output a Shop Bolt Summary :
Shop bolts are bolts that fasten connection materials to member main materials in the shop. A Shop Bolt Summary is an excellent report to use for ordering the specific bolts needed to fabricate members in the shop.
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 .
Method 2 : Click the Shop Bolt Summary 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 > Shop Bolts > Shop Bolt Summary.
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 is output to the device/ location that you designated.
