  • Part type

    • Describes the type of part, such as being a beam, brace, fastener, spring, etc.

  • Structure Variations

    • These abbreviations define variations of the type of part, such as how the endings are square or rounded; if there is a joint, etc.

  • Dimension

    • The dimension defines the size of the part, described in the number (or fractions) of STEMFIE block units (BU = 12.5 mm). The usual order is Length x Width x Height x Variations; it contains values with trailing extra zeros for clear listing in file folders. Some part dimensions may describe the size in mm.
