Cutting Finnboard Elevations

This guide outlines the correct method for cutting architectural elevations from Finnboard, a dense wood-pulp modelling material. It explains how to prepare and attach printed elevations with spray adhesive, position the metal rule to protect key areas, and make controlled, vertical knife passes for clean edges. Special attention is given to cutting out windows and internal corners, including techniques for releasing corners without damaging the façade. The guide helps beginners produce accurate, precisely cut Finnboard elevation components for sketch and presentation models.
