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

Who it's for
The QC / welder.
What's in it
Welds grouped by assembly mark · weld type and size · length · connected materials and location · optional VT/MT/RT/UT inspection column.
Why it exists
SDS2 has no native weld report at all. The model knows every weld — count, group, and full location — and none of it reaches paper.
How it's built
Built on MemberMaterial.Weld — WeldCount, WeldGroup, weld numbers, and 3D location points.
