KISS Export Pre-flight

Checks the fields the KISS 1.1 standard requires before you export — so the fab shop's import doesn't bounce.

KISS PRE-FLIGHT - EXCEPTIONS ONLY ------------------------------------------------------ MISSING GRADE ............. 2 members (C305 C306) MISSING SEQUENCE .......... none MISSING LENGTH ............ none ROUTING / REMARK .......... 1 member (B412) ------------------------------------------------------ 3 exceptions - fix before export

Sample output — layout representative, numbers illustrative. Your job's data fills it.

Who it's for
The detailer / fab office.
What's in it
Required-field presence check per the published KISS 1.1 standard · exceptions only — a clean model prints a blank page.
Why it exists
KISS 1.1 is a published spec with a defined required-field set, and a missing field surfaces at the fab shop's import — not in SDS2. Catching gaps before export saves the round-trip.
How it's built
Field set from the published KISS 1.1 standard, checked against verified ModelAll paths.
