On page 17 of the Generic Benroy Plans I can see the starting/ pivot point for the rear 19 and 48 inch radius' but I do not see the starting/ pivot point for the front 19 inch radius nor for the door. Does anyone know or can anyone figure out what that pivot point should be?

Thanks in advance for your help.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: It's okay Mike, you can't do all for us. We have to learn to think about our build sometime, and not just follow the instructions. :lol: That is where the FUN begins.

LOL! I was sitting here last night pulling my hair out wondering this same thing.

Thanks Mk for the drawing. I was correct on the template but over thinking it in my head.

Hey, I must be dumb too. That drawing really helps when doing the top front radious but I STILL don't see where the pivot point is for the door radious. :thinking:

I'm sure someone will be glad to point out my ignorence!! :lol:

It'd be the same as the front, 19" from the edge of the door and 19" down.

So on yours the plot point is 19" down from the top of the door and 11" in from the leading edge of the door.

Gotcha

11" one way...19 the other , I just put the dimension on the other side of the mark.

Looking at your drawing it's clear.

I was just trying to put it in "Engrish" for the next person that searches for it. :)
