Hole List

You can generate a hole list that contains the position, description, and status of the holes and hole requests in the block using the 3D-Contek > Production > Production > Report > Hole List function. You can define which type of holes and hole requests are included in the list, and change the acceptance status, hole type and lock status of the holes and hole requests in the list.

Tip: The hole list can be used to get an overview of the Outfitting holes in the block, for example.

Setting up the Hole List

The layout of the hole list can be controlled with the Production > Reports > Report Layout > Report Layout function in System Management.

The text that indicates the status of the hole can be modified in Production > Hole List > Settings in System Management.

The hole descriptions can be changed in the hole type files. See Hole description line G.

Hole List Contents

To view the current (last generated) hole list, click View current hole list. To create a new hole list, click Create hole list.

Note: When a new list is generated, the old list is overwritten.

The hole list provides an overview for each plate in the block. If a header is defined in the hole list report layout, the list of holes in different plates are separated by the header text between the plates.

Holes situated in profiles related to the plate are presented with an asterisk * before the hole description.

The breadth position is expressed as port description plus the value or starboard description plus the value.

The date and the time of the last generated ASCII-formatted table is shown in Current list. The hole list is generated as an ASCII-formatted table when Output format is left empty.

Selection Options

With the selection options you define which holes in the block are included in the hole list.

Block

Enter the block number of the block for which you want to generate the hole list.

Hole selection filter

Select the types of holes and hole requests to include in the hole list.

The following items can be selected:

  • Only Hole Requests – Select this to only include Outfitting holes.

  • Cutting holes – Select cut holes.

  • Marked holes – Select marked holes.

  • Indications – Select indication holes.

  • Pending hole requests – Select holes for which an update was requested in Plant Modeller.

  • Accepted holes – Hole requests accepted by Hull user.

  • Rejected holes – Hole requests rejected by Hull user.

  • Locked holes – Select holes locked by Hull.

  • Not locked – Select holes not locked by Hull.

Once you have selected which holes to include in the list, click Create Hole List to generate the list.

The default selections for some of the items can be set in Construction > Holes > Change Hole Status in System Management.

Modification Options

Once the system has generated the hole list based on the selection options, you can change the acceptance status, hole type and lock status of the holes and hole requests in the list. These options are not available before the hole list has been created or an old list is opened.

The status of individual holes can be changed using the Construction > Holes > Modify > Hole Status function. For more information on hole request states, see Hole request states.

Change Acceptance status

Set the acceptance status to Do not change, Accepted or Rejected. Note that if you select to accept or reject the holes, all the holes in the list will be accepted or rejected, regardless of their previous acceptance status.

Note: If the status of a hole is Locked by Outfitting (Under Work in Plant Modeller), the hole will not be accepted. The value in the piping lock column in the hole list will therefore remain as Yes.

Change Hole type

Set to Do not change, Cutting hole, Marked hole or Indication.

Change Lock status

Set to Do not change, Locked or Not locked.
