Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for laying out and marking out processes
  • Specifications, drawings, sketches or diagrams are analysed to determine task requirements
  • Amount of floor or table space required to lay out material is determined
  • Equipment needed for laying and marking out is selected and set up for use
  • Steps in laying and marking out processes are determined and sequenced for maximum productivity
  • Adequate lighting is provided for the laying and marking out processes
  • Workplace procedures and instructions are read and interpreted
       
Element: Lay out material
  • Obstructions and debris are removed from around work area, and work table or work surface is cleaned
  • Material is obtained and safely moved to the work area
  • Materials is rolled or spread out on to the work table or work surface
  • Material is layered according to requirements
  • Material is anchored to prevent movement using appropriate devices and OHS work practices
  • Templates (if used) are placed in position
  • Knowledge of laying out processes are applied to perform required tasks
       
Element: Mark out required shapes and features
  • Datum point is established
  • Required shapes are plotted and marked out using manual or electronic processes
  • Allowances are made for seams, joins, reinforced edges and other design features
  • Positions of openings, inserts, gussets, reinforcing, attachments and other components are plotted and marked
  • Mark out process maximises material utilisation and minimises waste
       
Element: Use plotting table
  • Plotting table vacuum is checked to ensure it reaches specified value
  • Material is laid out on table and checked to ensure it is free of creases, folds or other conditions that would prevent it lying flat
  • Plotter slide is checked for smooth travel
  • Appropriate software program is initiated
  • Data required by software program is loaded or keyed in
  • Plotting processes are performed
  • Vacuum is released on completion of plotting process
  • OHS work practices are employed when using plotter
