Creating modules

Any configuration of timbers can be created manually as a module by using the hsbCAM Menu Structure.

To create a module use menu structurehsbCAM \ Element Machining \ Create Module.To remove a modulehsbCAM \ Element Machining \ Remove Module.

Points to Note

When creating modules use the following guidelines.

Try not to have a space of less than 30mm between modules. This is critically important when using automated manufacturing wall lines.
Ensure that when 2 modules are beside each other, that these are removed as a module and recreated again using the create module command as a single module.
When manually creating a module component (i.e multi stud configuration) that this is created as a module even if the timber colours are set to represent a module.
