Material List and Other Reports

A customized Material List can be produced either as part of the isometric or as a separate report. The SPOOLER module allows Spool Drawing isometrics to be produced that provide full material traceability. Part Numbers for Spool Drawing isometrics can be maintained between revisions of the drawing. Part Numbers for Design isometrics are allocated by Isodraft and are not maintained between drawing revisions.

Isodraft can also provide the following reports:

• A cut pipe list, on the sheet with the material list or separately.

• A pipe support schedule.

• Pipe and insulation summaries.

The Material List columns may be selected from a list of standard columns (part number, description, item code, nominal size, quantity and remarks) or from other available component and specification attributes and UDAs. The remarks column allows additional information to be output for specified component types.

If a weight column has been selected, then weight Fabrication, Erection or Combined Totals may be specified. Conversion Factors can also be defined for Tube and non-Tube components in order to convert the property database weights to the required units.

By default, a material list will be plotted on the left-hand side of the isometric drawing.

In a combined fabrication and erection isometric, shop fabrication materials will be separated from site erection materials. Note that the shop/site information for fabricated components is obtained from the specification via the design. The shop/site information for tubing is set directly from the specification, because tubing is only implied in the design. See Tube SHOP Flag for further information about the Tube SHOP flag.

Components are grouped under the headings Pipe, Fittings and Flanges, Gaskets, Bolts, Valves/In-line Items, Instruments and Supports.

The entries in the material list are numbered sequentially. These part numbers are used for cross-references to the drawing area. Each entry contains the material’s description, nominal size, item code and quantity.

The MATERIALLIST command allows you to control the following features of the material list:

• Whether or not the list is shown on the drawing at all (default is for the list to be plotted).

• Whether a material list file is produced for each drawing, or one list file is produced for all drawings.

• Whether the fabrication section of the material list is sorted by Spool or not.

• Whether any items should be excluded from the material list and, if so, what items.

• The position of the list on the drawing sheet area (default is left-hand side).

• The size of the characters used for plotting the list.

• The spacing between the lines in the list.

• The width of the Item Code column in characters (default is 8 characters).

• Whether or not component descriptions are included in the list (default is for descriptions to be included).

• How the overflow of long lists is to be handled (default is for the list to be continued on a separate sheet with a blank drawing area).
