How to print or download the full bay plan in 2D Bay View

Use this guide to print the whole vessel, or download it as a PDF. You use the Mini View PDF button in 2D Bay View. A second way, with Bay View PDF, prints every bay on its own page.

Before you start: open your file.

Print the whole vessel on one page (Mini View PDF)

1. After you upload a file on baplieviewer.com, open Visualization in the Function Menu on the left. Click 2D Bay View. The screen shows the vessel bay by bay.
2. Look at the menu bar at the top. The first bay of the file shows, and Mode is View. The buttons below the top bar include Mini View PDF.
3. Optional: to colour the plan by a criterion (ISO code, port of discharge, size and so on), use the Color By list on the 2D Bay View screen first. For example, choose Color By ISO Code. The PDF uses this colour and shows its legend.
4. Click Mini View PDF (1 in the picture).

5. The Mini View PDF window opens with the text “Please select the document options”. Choose the options in the five lists (1 to 5 in the picture):
   1. The paper orientation: Landscape or Portrait.
   2. The number of bays in each row, for example Bays per row: 5.
   3. The paper size, for example Letter.
   4. The legend: Add Legend or Don’t Add Legend.
   5. The grouping of bays: for example Don’t Group Bays Vertically.
6. Click GENERATE PDF (6 in the picture).

7. Wait while the system makes the PDF. The window shows Generating pages, please wait… and the progress in percent.

8. Click Download PDF (1 in the picture). Click OK to close the window.

9. Open the PDF that you downloaded. It looks like this picture. The page shows the vessel name, Mini View, the legend and the bays in rows. Above deck is at the top of each bay and below deck is at the bottom.

Print every bay on its own page (Bay View PDF)

Use this way when you need the container numbers of every bay.

1. In the Mode list, keep View. Click Bay View PDF.
2. In the Bay View PDF window, choose All Bays in the first list (1 in the picture).
3. In the second list, choose Separate pages per deck (2 in the picture). Choose the paper size, the orientation and the legend as you like.
4. Click GENERATE PDF (3 in the picture). When the PDF is ready, click Download PDF. Click OK to close the window.

5. Open the PDF. It has one page for each bay and deck. The top of the page shows the vessel name, the bay and the deck, for example BAY 001 and Above.
