Frame Data – Work Points varying from Frame Data and FSD’s

(Revised: 04/01/08)

Clips & Holes are located slightly different from Frame Data to FSD’s. The Building Editor is set up to be generic so you can modify various Frame Members at the same time. FSD’s are showing exact measurements for one Frame Member. Here are a few examples of how they differ.

	1. In Frame Data, the Details shown are for locating various Clips in the Web of a member. Every detail has a WP End 1 & a Dim A shown locating the clips. Let’s look at the Web Clip Adjacent (WS-MC-04) Detail, typical for a GC2. 2. We will locate a GC2 for standard Inset Girts. The Dim A in Frame Data measures from the Outside of the FO to the first hole. So to get the Dim A, subtract 1 5/8” from 3 ½” (First hole from BL in my girt). This means my Dim A in Frame Data will be 1 7/8” on any Frame Member requiring this clip.
	3. On FSD’s, the Dim A is measured from the Inside of the FO to the first hole. This is an example of the Detail the shop will use to locate the GC2 clip.
FSD Dim A = 1 5/8” FO Thickness +¼” Frame Data Dim A = 1 7/8”	4. It is important to remember when checking your FSD’s. The dimension on the FSD’s is not what you will enter in Frame Data to fix a location error. In Frame Data, you will add the Flange Thickness of that particular Frame Member on to the corrected dimension from the FSD.
5. For more examples on FSD Work Points, refer to the Manufacturing Reference Details. These details are called out on every detail that Building Editor uses. Also, look closely at the details Frame Data uses when locating items to help with the differences between the two.
