Dimensions and Thickness
Height, Width and Depth, ect are in inches
Thickness is the thickness of the material, so 1/4 inch material is .25, 1/8 material is .125
The gap size is how wide the connector is. If you make it the same size as the depth, then the connector will be perfectly square.
**Note if hole or perch diameter is 0 is will not be drawn.
**Note on a flat roof birdhouse the height is from the top slope of the roof, and extra 1.5 inches is added to mount the house. The flat roof does not have a cleanout door, hinge the roof for cleanout
*** Note the image dpi must match the engraving dpi of the final image for the thicknesses to work properly.
