==Design==
=Design Information=
*[[Important Updates]] - A changelog of product updates or stock quantities that change how we draft


===Common Tasks &  Terms in Drafting ===
*[[Site Measurements]] - An overview of the types of site details drafter receive and their utility
====CADHS====
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.
====Prefab====
Used for automatically generating prefabricated steel and concrete structures such as ramps, stairs and curved walkways.
====Construction Line====
Construction lines are used as a guide for creating custom base structures as well as custom pipes, panels and stanchions.
====Base Structure====
The combination of all the custom concrete and steel beams as well as any prefabs. The base structure is constructed before any product is added.
====Measure====
Used for measuring to snapping points, such as orthogonal points, horizontal and end points. Can also measure angles.
====Tracing Tool====
The most common way to add Moddex product to a model. This tool is to be used on flat surfaces and complex stairs/ramps.
====Drag & Drop Tool====
Another way to add Moddex product to a model. This tool should be used whenever there is a simple prefab.
====Stanchion====
A post that supports the pipe or panels. Stanchions are given a specialized code depending on their purpose.
====Fixings====
Fixings are the screws and bolts that attach a Moddex handrail to the base structure.


====Redraw====
*[[Austrailan Standards]] - A Brief guide to AS1428 and AS1657, the two common guidelines followed in Australian handrails
Used for deleting temporary graphics and refreshing views. If there are any visual problems with your model always redraw before asking for help.
====Green====
An extra 150mm of material that is added to a pipe and cut off before being sent out to site. Green is always placed on the shortest end of the pipe. When creating a P&P green appears on the Pick list but not that pack list as the green is removed before being packed.
====Black====
A finish required for all fabricated parts. Black finish means that there is no galvanization on the steel and therefore safe to weld.
====Numbering====
Used for allocating part & article numbers to parts and pipe so they can be individually identified when installing and fabricating.
====Pick & Pack List====
An excel document containing all the parts in a job. Pick lists show the base parts that need to be picked off the shelf before commencing a job and Pack lists show what parts need to be packed onto the pallet and sent to site.


== Pipe Types ==

|-
| Standard 40Nb
| MD504 (Straight)
MD598 (Rolled)


MD599 (Custom Bend)
*[[Pipes]] - Information on different type pipes and their different applications
| Majority of jobs
| 40Nb pipe is the standard  pipe used on products at Moddex.
40Nb pipe is steel/grade C250 that has a protective coating of G390 Hot-dip  Galvanized.
|-
| Powdercoated
ZP & PC
| MDxxxPC
P & F (ZP & PC)


PO (ZP & PC)
*[[Misc & Promo]] - Information on how to fill out your Misc & Promo sections.
| Powdercoat can be applied  to jobs on customer request
| ZP & PC is used on  black pipe. The pipe is sprayed with Zinc Prime (ZP) and then powdercoated  (PC).
P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings


PO stands for Pipes Only
*[[New_Zealand]] - Information on New Zealand
|-
| Powdercoated
HDG & PC

*[[Design Training Guide]] - The ultimate beginners guide to drafting Moddex handrail in Tekla Structures. This guide is designed to help new drafters get started designing in Tekla and onto their first job
| HDG & PC is used on pipe that has been or will be hot-dipped galvanized (HDG), and then gets powdercoated (PC).
P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings


PO stands for Pipes Only
*[[Tracing Tool Functions]] - Will have descriptions and links for each feature of the Tracing Tool and how they are used
|-
| Green
| N/A
| Used for when creating bent  pipe that has a tail less than 170mm or a front less than 50mm
| Green essentially means additional pipe length which is used on pipes that won’t be able to be bent in the bender.
Green is also used on rolled pipes to allow the machines to roll the pipe.
|-
| Black
| MD504B (Straight)
MD598B (Rolled)


MD599B (Custom Bend)
*[[Example Drawings]] - An index of drawings drafters can use for reference of every individual assembly we make
| All fabricated products
| Black is applied to any pipe that is going to be fabricated. This pipe has not yet been galvanized.
Black pipe is steel/grade C350.
|-
| Rolled
| MD498.T4 (Aluminium)
MD598 (HDG)


MD698-10 (Stainless Steel)
*[[Weld Symbols]] - Outlines the different weld symbols for fabrication drawings with examples
| Used typically on any  curved surface
Examples includes  footpaths, skateparks, and silos
| Rolled pipe/tube is  outsourced and not rolled by Moddex. Because of this, rolled pipe/tube has  its own booklet that is sent to the company that’s outsourced. Rolled pipe/tube  has an additional 300mm of green on both ends, this is so that it can be  rolled. With double span TR we can use a MD201.48 as a top fitting to allow  the rolled pipe to run through, as long as the rolled pipe doesn’t have a  dramatic radius.
|-
| Aluminium
| MD404.T6  (Straight/Stanchion)
MD498.T4 (Rolled)


MD499.T4 (Custom Bend)
*[[Chord Heights]] - Documents useful for rolled drawings
| Aluminium can be applied to  jobs on customer request
| Aluminium pipe comes in 2  different aging processes, T6 which is used just as straight pipe, and T4  which is used for rolling and bending. Jobs using aluminium pipe will need to  also use aluminium 300 series fittings.
|-
| Stainless Steel
| <u>TUFFRAIL</u>
MD604 (Straight)


MD698 (Rolled)
*[[Stanchion Post Length Guide]]


MD699 (Custom bend)

| When used with TUFFRAIL,  stainless steel pipe is used at a diameter of 48.3mm
With this size pipe, Moddex  600 series fittings are used.
 
When used with ASSISTRAIL,  stainless steel tube is used at a diameter of 50.8mm x 1.6mm
Stainless Steel tube will  need to use custom fittings (Hammersmith) as Moddex does not supply standard  parts for this type of tube.
|-
| Heavy Duty
| MD504HD
MD504.6500HD
 
MD504B.6500HD
| Stanchions that are  supporting CB panels with an overall height equal to or larger than 1500mm

|-
| 50Nb
| MD505 (Straight Med)
MD505H (Straight Heavy Wall)
 
MD505R (Rolled Heavy Wall)

| 50Nb is used mainly as the top rail of Bridgerail to follow AS5100, standard bridge design.
|-
| 32Nb
| MD503 (Straight)
MD592 (Rolled)
 
MD593 (Custom Bend)
| 32Nb pipes are used mainly  in AR jobs that involve VIC primary schools which also means it has a max  rail height of 880mm, and if a lower handrail is required, 680mm
| 32Nb pipe are only used as  handrail, not stanchions. They have their own pipe fittings that are standard  Moddex parts.
In schools we only use 32Nb on double  rail systems, this includes;
 
AR110, AR120, AR130, AR140, AR160, CB50, and CB55.
|-
| Extra Light
| MD504.6500XL
