Design

Interior Panels - all 2x4

Morning Exercises - 30 min of FreeCAD Collaboration

Collaborative CAD Quality Control
Interior Wall Panels + Part Library

Download position file
Make them positionally correct in libraries

Module designer coordinates - automatic sense-making
Assembly designer coordinate - but do all updates in source files. Example of interior wall module

Collaborative Literacy Theory Discussion

No substitute for autonomous management
Comparison to democracy: we would not need a government if people are self-managing.

Spatial orientation exercise - 5 min - with as many people as there are in a room.

Safety

This is a decent table saw video
Cross cut on table saw - don’t do it

Collaborative CAD Quality Control Checklist

File History Link

Problem statement:

How do you know the file is clean (no extra parts that are needed)
How do you tell that it is positionally correct?
How do you tell the design is accurate?
How do you identify edit conflict?

QC Checklist:

If time of upload is close (within 5 minutes) - make sure that overwrites have not happened. If they did, go to any missed source files and re-upload.
If file size does not make sense (too large, smaller than last) - verify what happened
Verify parts are against their respective position marker. Use measurements or draw measurement sketches.
Make parts transparent, so overall assembly is more easy to understand.
Remove any duplicates. You can check if something is duplicate if nothing changes when you hide it.

Likely too large

Smaller than last and 2 files ago

Gap between modules?

Edge of panel is not on edge of position markers

Spacer height for locating lower blocking

Lower Blocking

Interior plywood determines the location of the lower blocking
Lower blocking in on the interior side so it supports the lower edge of the interior plywood
The interior panel starts at the top of the frame
Where the bottom of the interior plywood ends - that determines the bottom of of the lower blocking

Locating Spacer

It is helpful to use a blocking spacer to fit blocking in in the up-down direction
This location is 11-⅝”-1.5 = 10.125 for the bottom.

Upper Blocking

Exterior plywood determines the location of the upper blocking
Upper blocking in on the exterior side so it supports the upper edge of the exterior plywood
The exterior panel hangs down 1” below the bottom of the wall frame
Where the top of the exterior plywood ends - that determines the midpoint of the upper blocking

Locating Spacer

It is helpful to use a blocking spacer to fit blocking in in the up-down direction
This location is 12-⅝”-1.5-0.75 =
10.375 for the top.
