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.

Status: in build — not available to download yet. There is no file behind this page today, and a free account will not get you one. Each template is written and run in SDS2 on a real job before its download is enabled here. The weekly brief announces each one the day it ships.

Verify report output against your project documents before fabrication. Templates are original SPI work built on the verified SDS2 ModelAll field catalog — every field path they use is checked against it, never guessed.
