Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

Both items 6 and 9 on the Bill of Materials are unique and, possibly, the most telling.

Item 6 is a single piece of 1"x5" lumber. One -- perhaps it's used as a stringer along the peak of some ramp.

Item 9 calls for 2 pieces of 2"x4"x10' -- all the other 2"x4"s are spec'd at 8', so there's some single component of the field that is 8'+ large -- in what dimension is anyone's guess.

In any case, because of those quantities, I expect the field will have symmetry in two planes only; no pentagons, octagons or other weird stuff.

Of course, it really is just a list of materials and they could be used to build anything at all.
