Full Checklist
Background:
- 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:
- Do not edit model.
- Do not renumber anything.
- Do not rotate ANYTHING.
- 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
- Pink Notes: pink notes in the model which mostly has information like weld types and other information that are not necessary for a detailer.
