Description

DraftVano is an online tool designed for timber framing and cut-list planning tailored to the needs of DIY enthusiasts, woodcraft artisans, and small-scale workshops. It features six customizable project builders for various structures, including media walls, garage storage systems, workbenches, bookcases, BBQ island frameworks, and sauna constructions, allowing for measurements in both millimeters and inches, alongside 3D visualizations and estimates for the quantity of boards required. Users have the option to access fixed-size PDF templates and purchase tailored blueprint PDFs, with additional planning guidance available for those opting for the M-04 service. A complimentary one-dimensional timber cut-list calculator is provided, which accepts inputs such as piece lengths, quantities, stock lengths, blade kerf, and end allowances, generating recommended board layouts and offering outputs in CSV format, printable files, and shareable links without necessitating user registration. Each calculation focuses on a single timber section and stock length, and while its heuristic approach aims to optimize layouts, it does not ensure a globally optimal minimal waste configuration. It's important to note that DraftVano emphasizes planning and material estimation, while it does not provide structural certification or support for two-dimensional sheet nesting and CNC/DXF production. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to streamline their woodworking projects without the complexities of professional-grade software.

Description

In the Southern United States, pulp mills, paper mills, and biomass facilities operate differently compared to sawmills in Canada or timber managers in Australia, yet they all utilize SMSYardBoss for their needs. Over the span of 25 years, SMSYardBoss has adapted to accommodate the diverse practices in raw material supply chain management across various facility types and fiber categories. This comprehensive system handles fiber supply contract management and sales agreements for both owned and purchased timber, as well as open market (gatewood) contracts. It offers flexibility in pricing, whether through delivered prices or unbundled fiber costing, allowing for payments to an unlimited number of suppliers, landowners, haulers, and government fees/taxes based on a single load ticket. Users benefit from contract-specific or standard rate sheets tailored to their requirements. Furthermore, SMSYardBoss includes special payment provisions such as production advances, lump sum payments, holdbacks, and surcharges. The platform also streamlines settlement and invoice processing, adapting to various pay frequencies, which can range from weekly payments for truckers to monthly payments for severance fees, ensuring that all stakeholders are accommodated efficiently. This versatility makes SMSYardBoss an invaluable tool for managing complex supply chain dynamics in the forestry and timber industry.
