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

Who it's for
The shipping / erector.
What's in it
Pieces grouped by load · weight each and rollup per truck · overall L × W × H per piece for permit checks · running total against truck capacity.
Why it exists
Marking and shipping of materials has its own section in the AISC Code of Standard Practice, and detailing firms advertise the shipping list as a deliverable — while SDS2's Fabricator and Erector report folders sit nearly empty next to 21 bolt reports.
How it's built
Built on member bounding-box and weight fields. Load grouping uses your sequence or lot field — jobs that track loads differently get the template adjusted to match before release.
