 The rest of the project includes `target.scad` to use the configuration.
 Additionally all the generated file directories (assemblies, bom, stls, dxfs, etc.) are placed in a sub-directory called `<target_name>`.
 
+The build system will look for a `<target_name>_assembly` module and use it as the top level module instead of `main_assembly` if it it exists.
+That allows the project description to be target specific if the top level modules are in different scad files.
+The top level assembly instructions and assembly contents could also be different if appropriate.
+
+If the top level module is just a shell wrapper that simply includes one other assembly, with no additional parts, then it is removed from the build instructions and
+the assembly it calls becomes the top level. This allows a different project description for each target but only one set of top level instructions without repeating them.
+
+### Costed BOMs
+
+A costed bill of materials can be made by opening the generated file `bom/bom.csv` in a spreadsheet program using a single quote as the string delimiter and comma as the field separator.
+That gets a list of part descriptions and quantities to which prices can be added to get the total cost and perhaps a URL of where to buy each part.
+
+If a Python file called `parts.py` is found then `bom.py` will attempt to call functions for each part to get a price and URL.
+Any functions not found are printed, so you can see the format expected.
+The function are passed the quantity to allow them to calculate volume discounts, etc.
+
 ### Other libraries
 
 The build scripts need to be able to locate the source files where the modules to generate the STL files and assemblies reside. They will search all the scad files

+//! Parameterised Core XY implementation. Draws the belts and provides utilities for positioning the pulleys.
+//!
+//! The belts are positioned according the bottom left "anchor" pulley and the top right drive pulley.
+//! Implementation has the following features:
+//!
+//! 1. The drive and idler pulleys may be different sizes.
+//! 2. The belt separation is parameterised.
+//! 3. The separation of the plain and toothed pulleys on the Y carriages is parameterised, in both the X and the Y direction.
+//! 4. The drive pulleys may be offset in the X and Y directions. If this is done, extra idler pulleys are added. This
+//! allows flexible positioning of the motors.
