|
| [[File:MediaWiki Example Image Format.PNG]] | | =Design Information= |
| | *[[Important Updates]] - A changelog of product updates or stock quantities that change how we draft |
|
| |
|
| =Terminology=
| | *[[Site Measurements]] - An overview of the types of site details drafter receive and their utility |
| *<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> | | *[[Austrailan Standards]] - A Brief guide to AS1428 and AS1657, the two common guidelines followed in Australian handrails |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| | *[[Fixings]] - Coverage of the variety of fixings we have in-house |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | *[[Tracing Tool Functions]] - Will have descriptions and links for each feature of the Tracing Tool and how they are used |
| ===Tutorials and Training Material===
| |
| As of December 2023, there has been work on new training reference material for new and existing drafters.
| |
|
| |
|
| These tutorials are made to help assist new drafters with learning the basics of drafting Moddex products in Tekla.
| | *[[Example Drawings]] - An index of drawings drafters can use for reference of every individual assembly we make |
|
| |
|
| There are also more advanced tutorials to help even experience users to refresh on some of the less used processes in Tekla.
| | *[[Weld Symbols]] - Outlines the different weld symbols for fabrication drawings with examples |
|

|
| At Moddex, we are committed to delivering high-quality and safe rail products that meet the needs and expectations of our clients. To achieve this, we have to follow the Rail Construction Standards that are applicable to our projects, such as the Australian Standards, the Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) Standards, the National Construction Code, and the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards. These standards provide the design, construction, and installation requirements for fixed platforms, walkways, stairways, ladders, and other rail infrastructure elements. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our products are compliant, reliable, and accessible for all users.
