Status Report by Proximity

Status Report by Proximity (data from 3D model and/or drawings)

Tool summary :

Outputs a report that shows you what members and drawings may be affected when you revise a particular member in a particular framing situation.

The Status Report by Detail window (represented below) allows you to, optionally, select status categories for inclusion in the report.

Status categories are optional : Even if you leave all of these categories not checked (

), the report still provides framing situation information like that shown in the example .

As the example later on this page shows, the report lists each member that is selected for inclusion and tells you the members framing into that member, the members that share the same piecemark as that member, and the members that member frames into. If any members you select for inclusion on the report have been placed on detail sheets , the report tells you which sheet the member is on.
See the step-by-step instructions .
