STEP 01
Inspect the holes and supports as one system
Use the actual production supports in the first completed test pattern. Check diameter, seating depth, shoulder contact and consistent orientation. Inspect whether chips, torn surface fibers or a mismatched support prevent full seating. Do not enlarge a loose or binding production pattern simply to force a fit without finding the cause. Check the remaining outer face and compare the physical hole depth with the recorded maximum tip penetration. The planner’s depth result describes ideal geometry; it cannot inspect a shifted collar, worn guide, damaged core or off-axis hole.
STEP 02
Use four matching positions for the first shelf
Choose one available level and compare the four hole heights with the register. Install the two front and two rear supports in their corresponding positions, then place a representative shelf as intended in the finished case. Look for rocking, incomplete support contact, insufficient shelf depth or a shelf recess that changes the bearing position. If the shelf does not seat, distinguish a wrong hole level from case twist, shelf warp or the wrong support geometry before changing the pattern. The software treats a level as a group of four coordinates, not proof of physical coplanarity.
STEP 03
Check operation with neighboring parts present
Fit the back, door and adjacent hardware needed to reproduce the finished clearances. Open the door through its working travel, inspect shelf insertion and removal, and verify any intended access to the pins. Measure useful shelf-top height separately from the pin center because the support ledge and shelf construction change that surface. For load selection, consult the complete shelf, support and cabinet requirements for the actual installation. Neither the number of holes nor completion of the evidence boxes calculates span, sag, pull-out resistance, tip resistance or a rated storage capacity.
STEP 04
Record a specific observation for every check
The datum box records the physical labels, the coupon box records a matched-material drilling test, the hardware box records the envelope inspection, and the paired-shelf box records the assembled fit check. Add the coupon ID, actual hardware model, inspector and date to the notes or the linked drilling worksheet. A checked box is your record of an observation, not a result detected by the browser. If any dimension, grid setting or keep-out changes, the interface clears the four observations so an earlier test cannot silently certify the revised geometry.
STEP 05
Keep the current revision recoverable
Download the coordinate CSV for the shop, the SVG for visual review and a JSON backup for resuming the editable project. The browser draft is convenient, but it belongs to that browser profile and can disappear when site data is cleared. Importing a backup first shows a replacement review; check its project name and geometry before applying it. Export files carry the recorded revision and evidence count. When an issue is found, label affected parts, revise the record and repeat the relevant physical checks rather than treating an older download as current approval.
Does checking all four boxes approve the shelf load?
No. The boxes record your physical observations. Shelf capacity, case anchoring, support ratings and hardware suitability need their own project-specific verification.
References and model boundary
The manufacturer references describe their own jig systems. Project dimensions, grid phase, keep-out envelopes and remaining-skin requirements belong to your measured setup. The planner tests its stated geometry; use the actual hardware instructions and a physical test pair before drilling production panels.
