You’re… not that far off tbh. They’re not stupid, far from it, and they’re crazy efficient, but they just do not have that refined skill of translating an implied picture into a real one. That takes a lot of practice.
That’s OK tho. It’s my job to make it as obvious as possible so such problems don’t happen.
Just today we had a technician “follow the equipment diagram”. Key word: diagram; implies drawing is diagrammatical, generally speaking. Also theres a large “NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION USE” callout in the title block. Didnt stop the tech from drilling a 7/8" hole right into the side of sensitive equipment. There’s a very obvious gland for waterproof penetration, at the bottom. So, the drawing showed a wire landing at the side of the unit, because it was easier for the layout of the diagram… yeah. I feel it.
*sobbing* I can’t start it until I know what it will look like when I am done.
-plant floor people probably (idk)
