ABCs Standards / Checklist

Full Checklist

Background:

1. ABC’s entirely production line and jigs are optimised for a specific workflow. DO NOT deviate from their requirements. There is a need to be pedantic because otherwise things won’t work – beams and steel will be wasted, delays will result, and we will be cursed to the high heavens.

Rules:

1. Do not edit model.
2. Do not renumber anything.
3. Do not rotate ANYTHING.
4. Do not change the names of drawings. Name of the drawing should be the name of the truss.

If there are any issues, msg client.

Rotation and Flipping – check if rotation / flipping has happened

• Check if any rotations happened. How?
• (1) Everything with our client works: Left-to-Right. If something is not Left to right – then it may have been rotated. We need to alert our client to this.
• (2) We have the PDFs. We must check the drawings against the pdfs and note where they are any discrepancies. If there are discrepancies – alert our client. Because Tekla may be rotating the drawing.
• (3) After we do the drawings – then we should send the PDFs back to the client.

Blue Angle Issue

• When dimension beams, dimension just beams. Do not dimension to the end plates. Probably because they are cutting the beams and adding the end plates later. (i.e. their production facility is optimised for this workflow).

Information

1. Pink Notes: pink notes in the model which mostly has information like weld types and other information that are not necessary for a detailer.

Video Tutorials:

1.Check diag color diff part marks to have diff colors color start at left

2.Check degree on rhs end plate

3.Check 2 diag dim

4.Check truss depth on section CC

5.Check section a on left section b on right

6.Check outrigger on left

7.Check outrigger plate dim

8.Check plate edge dim on left and right

9.Check angle on bottom chord plate when it is inclined

10.Check all sections views are placed at the bottom

11.Check no aligned views

12.Check plate offset on sections from chord

13.Check no dimension to holes

14.Dim cleat to first touch point to main part from left

15.check end plates marked in main view & end plates marked in top view as well

16.FCB (FLY BRACING CLEAT TO BE CALLED UP ON FRONT VIEW)

17.When fly bracing (FBCT) is both sides, instead of2 labels slect 2 and label

18.When cloning check whether same color diags are same part mark

19.FCBT to be dimensioned from top chord scxxx dim line

20.Col section scale 12.5

21.Col section looking towards left always

22.Col section dim to both sides if plate is bigger than shaft

23.Don’t change name from shafts

24.Don’t need to label any plates, just leave as plate

25.Standard parts do not require drawings
