Please review both the 3D and 2D views to identify any potential errors. Additionally, confirm whether any additional views are required for fabrication.
Sounds fine, right? But here’s the catch—is it actually possible to fabricate with these views?
The Hidden Problem
If we fabricate by 3D view alone, there might be a potential error. In reality, the fabrication needs to be done upside down.
- Fabrication Assumption: The 3D view is correct, but the plan & elevation view is incorrect.
- As a result, the fabricator may assume the wrong orientation and fabricate it incorrectly.
The Right Approach
We need to provide an additional section view C-C and ensure the 3D view is correctly oriented.
Actually, in the above drawing shows, the 3D view is placed as the underside view, which may visually appear as downside up.
Please review correct drawings attached below.
Always make sure any potential confusion is resolved before starting fabrication.
So next time you see a similar detail, take a closer look—is it actually can fabricate?
