==Terminology== *<b>CADHS</b> The Computer Aided Design Handover Sheet (CADHS) is a document in all job folders that displays the product, fixing type and finish as well as any special considerations needed for drafting. *<b>Prefab</b> Used for automatically generating premade customisable steel and concrete structures such as ramps, stairs and curved walkways. *<b>Construction Line</b> Construction lines are used as a guide for creating custom base structures as well as custom pipes, panels and stanchions. *<b>Base Structure</b> The initial foundation, a representation of where the handrail will be mounted. The base structure is constructed (or imported) in drafting software before any product is modelled. *<b>Measure</b> Used for measuring to snapping points, such as orthogonal points, horizontal and end points. Can also measure angles. *<b>Tracing Tool</b> The most common way to add Moddex product to a model. Allows the user to create a length of handrail, with customisable traits. *<b>Drag & Drop Tool</b> Another way to add Moddex product to a model. Allows the user to generate handrail along the entire length of a prefab structure, with customisable traits. *<b>Stanchion</b> A post that supports the pipe or panels. Stanchions are given a specialized code depending on their purpose. *<b>Fixings</b> Fixings are the screws and bolts that attach a Moddex handrail to the base structure. *<b>Redraw</b> An action in Tekla Structures for deleting temporary graphics and refreshing views. If there are any visual problems with your model always redraw before asking for help. *<b>Green</b> An extra length (commonly 150mm) of material that is left on a pipe before bends and cut afterwards. Green is always placed on the shortest end of the pipe. When creating a Pick & Pack List, the extra green length appears on the Pick list, but not the pack list. *<b>Black</b> A finish required for all fabricated parts. Black finish means that there is no galvanization on the steel and therefore safe to weld. *<b>Numbering</b> Used for allocating part & article numbers to parts and assemblies so they can be individually identified in drawings during production and installation. *<b>Pick & Pack List</b> Picking and packing is the process of selecting and packaging products in a warehouse. This includes 'picking' the right type and number of products from inventory and 'packing' them for shipment. Pick & Pack lists can be automatically generated through the report feature in Tekla Structures.
