I spent this afternoon testing the new development branch of Skylark200 after seeing the announcement of Skylark version 2 (alpha) earlier this week. Below are my reflections and findings of my modeling so far. I used the SKYLARK200_design-kit_sketchup file as announced here.
Not all of it was intuitive and I have made quite a few assumptions so I would really welcome the thoughts of others in the community and the WikiHouse team to see if I understood everything correctly!
General principles identified
- Development branch is currently only available for SKYLARK200, not SKYLARK250
- Unlike v.1, v.2 does not use combs and pegs
- There are three butterfly connections to use to connect all the blocks: half butterfly, full butterfly, and a butterfly shape with a longer middle base
- The design kit comes with the full blocks assembled as well as the cut out forms next to each assembled block
