04Shop drawings workflow

Shop drawings your crew can build from.

For a set of 24" welded steel marquee letters with 102 bulbs, the workflow drew the shop set: a letter schedule with return lengths and weights, a dimensioned elevation, back panels with every keyhole and gland, a section through the stroke with the build sequence, and the wiring.
