The PDF report ​

The thing an engineer actually submits is the calc - the clause-by-clause working a checker can audit, not just a pass / fail. CivilKit Studio produces a single printable / PDF calc package that pulls the whole story together: model, analysis, design, connections and quantities.

Generate it ​

File → Report (or the command palette) opens the printable view; use your browser's Print → Save as PDF to export it. The filename is derived from the title block, so a saved PDF is meaningfully named.

Title block ​

No calc submits without a title block. The page has an editable project title block - project, job number, engineer, revision - so the document carries its own identification.

What it includes ​

The page assembles only the sections that apply to your model:

  • Model overview & steel take-off - the same live overview / take-off from the Summary tab: counts, and steel grouped by section with the grand-total tonnage. If any members sit on a section with no catalogue mass, the total notes how many were excluded - so the take-off is never silently partial.
  • Detailed member calculations (AS 4100) - one compact, clause-referenced block per checked member:
    • section classification + flange / web slenderness (Cl 5.2);
    • Ze, φMsx = φ·fy·Zex (Cl 5.2.1);
    • φMbx = αm·αs·φMsx with αm, αs, Le shown (Cl 5.6.1.1);
    • φNc with kf, λn, αc (Cl 6.3.3); φNt (Cl 7.2); φVv (Cl 5.11);
    • the design actions M*x / M*y / N* / V* and the governing utilisation (Cl 8.3/8.4), highlighted green / red.
  • Serviceability - the worst-member deflection ratio against the configured limit, e.g. "1/108 (limit L/250 OVER)" - a self-explaining line, not a bare number. See Design checks.
  • Connection design - base-plate, fin-plate and end-plate connections (connections) with bolts, plate size, design action, component utilisations and the governing verdict.
  • Concrete & composite - RC members, RC slab strips (AS 3600) and composite beams (AS 2327), shown when present. See Concrete & composite.

Single source of truth

Every design section re-runs the same calc the inspector uses at print time, so the submittable PDF and the on-screen panels can never disagree. All dynamic values are HTML-escaped.

Other exports ​

The PDF is one of several ways out of a model:

  • Save image (PNG) - the current 3D viewport (deformed shape, force diagrams, utilisation contour) for a calc package or email.
  • Copy table (TSV) - any results table straight into a spreadsheet.
  • Export JSON - the full model.
  • Copy share link - the whole model packed into a URL. See Share a model by link.
