Nice work! Yes indeed Dylan SU 3D Details is a great way to explain construction methods to Builders. One good 3D can eliminate so many headaches during the course of construction. Of course it helps the Designer also as we can quickly discover whether or not everything fits together properly.
While it is much slower than straight 2D drawings I find that one 3D model with multiple views can give the total picture. Straight 2D views can also be output from the 3D construction model with little effort should they be needed, normally the case for Planning Permissions (Permits).
I still remember the first awkward 3D construction detail I did for a Winder Staircase. The ope was 2300 mm and I worked the total construction off a central column of 8 x 100 mm blocks. The carpenter was delighted with the drawings, which included a Cutting List. I think he nearly constructed the stairs in the same time in took me to make the model Ah! but I can use it again, if I can find it

I couldn't say it better (except in imperial - not metric) Great work Dylan!
