QC Audit Pack

Short exception reports: duplicate piecemarks, members with no connection, orientation outliers, bolt edge-distance flags. Each prints only problems — a clean run is a blank page.

Sample output — layout representative, numbers illustrative. Your job's data fills it.

Who it's for
The checker.
What's in it
Duplicate piecemark finder · members with no connection · orientation outliers · bolt edge-distance flags. Exceptions only — nothing to wade through when the job is clean.
Why it exists
Piecemarks, bolts, and welds are still checked by eye in most shops. Exception reports are the audits checkers actually run — and no one ships them.
How it's built
Built on member, connection, and bolt fields in the ModelAll catalog; each audit is a separate template in the pack.
