Fastener Stacks

Finds every fastener in an assembly, groups touching fasteners into stacks, groups identical stacks into families, and shows each family as a colored Vis group you can select.

Verification passing on Vis 2606.0 build 26134 + 2606.2610 · 2026-10-29 · repo tc-vis-automation 9f1b0af · Goals 1 to 6 verified from inside Vis and headless (16/16); the bonus goals are not started.

Goals 1 to 6 (find, stack, family, select stack, select group, color) are verified on the wing flap, from inside Vis and headless. These are what is not done.

Not startedA PNG image per stack.
Not startedA 3D markup inset image saved to Teamcenter.
Not startedFasteners joining two parts: which structural parts each stack joins.
Not doneStructural plates in stacks. A stack lists its fastener parts only, not the plates they pass through.
Default chosenFasteners are found by part-number pattern only; the size fallback is off. Assemblies with other naming need their own patterns in fastener_stacks.json.
Known limitWhole-assembly views do not draw sub-pixel parts, so a fastener-only view of a large assembly can look empty. Zoom in to see family colors.
