Step 4) Shop Data

Because all necessary cuts and drills appear in the 3D model, the log and beam information can be sent directly to our shop floor to be produced at a one- sixteenth inch precision

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Step 5) Creating shop paperwork and ‘notchers’

Along with the electronic data, drawings are created for the shop employees to verify dimensions on the physical parts. This paperwork includes a set of ‘notchers’ which also play a role in cabin assembly.

These plans identify the location of each log. Each log has its own unique number that corresponds to the plans.
