Originally, the building instruction team had a huge building with a table for
each step with the parts for that step assembled on the table.  They
photographed the assembly, and then "cartoonized" the picture.  It was a huge
process.  I don't think it is quite that laborious these days.

LPub 4 provides much more automation than the LEGO BI group has available to
them ;^)
