1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose and Use of this Manual

1.1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this Manual is to establish standards for CAD drawings and other related submissions for the design and construction of City of Edmonton building projects. Consultant agreements for architectural and engineering projects typically require the production and submission of deliverables in the form of drawings, specifications, reports schedules, etc. The City has recognized the need to establish standards for these project documents, since they are an important source of information for the on-going management of its facilities.Standardized project documents are a critical source of information for the automated Facility Management (FM) system, which the City has implemented to effectively manage its large inventory of facilities.

1.1.2 Use

Part 2 - Standards for Consultant DeliverablesThese standards describe the hard copy and software formats in which consultant deliverables for building projects are to be submitted to the City. These are subject to change as new software releases come out and are put into use by the City. Consultants are expected to comply with the latest revision of this Standard.

Part 3 - CAD Drawing Standards This manual provides specific instructions to consultants for the preparation of CAD design and record drawings for building projects. This section establishes basic drawing practices Consultants must follow when submitting CAD drawings.

Part 4 – CAD Layering Standards These standards establish a common and consistent approach to organizing and naming CAD drawing layers. They are based on the CAD layers and layering format in ‘CAD Layering Guidelines (Computer-Aided Design Management Techniques for Architecture, Engineering and Facility Management) Second Edition: published by the American Institute of Architects Press.

3.0 CAD DRAWING STANDARDS

3.1 CAD Drawing Instructions

3.1.1 CAD Drawing Formats As noted in section 2.1 the City requires a complete set of record drawings for all disciplines in AutoCAD 2002 or later and in pdf format using Adobe Reader on a CD disc format as well as a hard copy 2 mil black line mylar printed from the electronic submission at completion of the building project. As a minimum, these record drawings shall identify who stamped the tender documents and the date of the stamp.

3.1.2 CAD File Naming To completely identify a project and to facilitate electronic storage and retrieval of documents all files must be labelled in accordance with the file naming conventions specified in section 3.2

3.1.3. Project Number and CAD File Number The assigned project officer will provide a project number and CAD file number at the start of each project. This number must be included in the designated area in the title block on each drawing.

3.1.4 Bind and Purge Bind all modelspace and paperspace Xrefs in final version of drawing submitted in electronic form. Purge all unused blocks, dimstyles, layers, styles, linetypes and shapes from final version of all drawings.

3.1.5 Drawing Measurements and Scale All drawings shall be created using metric units using the millimetre as the standard unit of measurement (that is, 1 drawing unit = 1 mm). Draw all objects 1 to 1 scale. (e.g. If a wall is to be 3m long, the corresponding CAD lines will also be 3m long.

3.1.6 Drawing File Format All drawings must be provided as AutoCAD.DWG format. If drawings are translated from other CAD software then the Consultant must confirm the accuracy of the final AutoCAD files. Following is the format CAD documents must be submitted.

3.1.7 Symbols and Blocks Consultants may use their own standards for other blocks and symbols. No nested blocks shall be used. Create new blocks in layer zero ONLY. Predefined symbols and blocks must be inserted on the proper layer. All blocks must be uniformly scaled.

3.1.8 Fonts and Text Height Only standard AutoCAD font styles are to be used for all drawings. NO third party fonts may

used. Text height should be 2 to 3mm for the final plot.



3.1.9 Key Plan A key plan is required for any partial floor plan.

3.1.10 Model Space and Paper Space The City requires that all drawing items and related text be created and edited in Model Space. Use the layout tabs or paper space for composing your drawing sheet and defining views. Title blocks, general notes, schedules, charts and other non-graphic information is better suited to paper space. All viewports in paper space should be locked.

3.1.11 Drawing Sizes The following standard drawing sizes may be used.

Sheet Size Dimensions Prototype Drawing A0 1189 x 841 mm Can be adjusted A1 841 x 594 mm Available

ANSI B 11 x 17 in (432 x 279 mm) Available

3.1.12Title Block and Layering A prototype drawing containing the City of Edmonton title block and the basic layering outlined in Part 3 of this Manual is available with this manual. This drawing has been developed to facilitate the use of these CAD standards by design consultants.

The file naming convention for all project drawings is as follows (using an example):

CEN101(MN)-02-A00.DWG with coding as follows:

CEN101 is the City of Edmonton code designation for the building or integrated site.

MN is the floor number (FD) foundation, (SB) sub-basement, (BM) basement, (MN) main floor, (02) second floor, (MZ) mezzanine floor, (RF) roof, (L1) lower level 1, (P1) parking level 1, (XX) indicates a drawing without a designated floor.

02 is the year of the project (2002)

A is the drawing discipline based on the following: C Civil (site) A Architectural S Structural M Mechanical

E Electrical L Landscape Architecture (may be included in Civil)

P Plumbing (may be included in Mechanical) F Fire Protection (may be included in Mechanical) SH Shop Drawings

00 is the drawing number in the set.

.DWG is the AutoCAD file extension

4.0 CAD LAYERING STANDARD

4.1. Purpose

This layering standard has been designed to:

! organize graphical information so that it can be effectively grouped and manipulated for display, editing and plotting purposes.

! ensure that all CAD based design drawings completed for all City facilities are structured and formatted on a consistent basis for archival and retrieval purposes.

! organize drawing information in layers that can be used for both initial project development and on-going facility management purposes.

4.2 Design of the Layering Standard

This standard has been designed in accordance with the CAD layers and layering format in ‘CAD Layering Guidelines (Computer-Aided Design Management Techniques for Architecture, Engineering and Facility Management) Second Edition: published by the American Institute of Architects Press.

This layering standard is based on the following concepts in the CAD LAYER GUIDELINES:

4.2.1 Layer FormatsFormat as follows:

X – YYYY – ZZZZ MAJOR GROUP – MINOR GROUP - MODIFIERS

I. Major Groups (X) - The CAD LAYER GUIDELINES recommends the use of eight (8) major groups of layers as follows: C Civil Engineering and Site Work

A Architecture, Interiors and Facilities S Structural M Mechanical (HVAC) E Electrical and Electrical Auxiliary Systems, including Telecommunications L Landscape Architecture (optional) P Plumbing (optional) F Fire protection (optional)

II. Minor Groups (YYYY) - This group comprises 4 characters and is used to subdivide the major groups on the basis of construction components or building contents (e.g., walls, doors, ceilings, furniture, equipment, etc.). Layers that are designated by a major and minor group only are referred to as “master layers” and are shown in bold type in the layering standard.



III. Modifiers (ZZZZ) - These 4 characters may be used to further differentiate minor groups such as full height from part height walls. The use of a modifier is optional and is not required if the major and minor group designations for a layer are sufficient.

As an example of this layer format, the layer name A-DOOR-FULL would designate a layer in the architectural group with graphical information on doors which are full height.

4.2.3 Information Layers - The layer names for each major group are further divided into two categories for CAD layer management purposes.

I. Building Information layers - generally represent physical aspects of the site and buildings such as walls, doors, site improvements, diffusers, etc. Identification labels such as room numbers are also included in this category. This type of information is often shared between drawings.

II. Drawing Information layers - comprise notes, dimensions, title blocks and similar information. This type of information is usually associated with a specific drawing. Other speciality requirements such as riser diagrams and schematic diagrams are also included in this category.

4.2.4 Special Groups – I. The designations ELEV, SECT and DETL are used as either minor groups or

modifiers to identify elevations, sections and details. These special groups may be used by consultants as required for design and construction drawings.

II. The “Read-me” layer (x-RDME) may be used with all major groups to provide reference information on file organisation. This layer is for user reference only and is not plotted.



4.3 Use of the Layering Standard

4.3.1 The layering standard has been designed for use for all types of projects in the entire inventory of City facilities, including site development and utility services. Therefore, consultants should focus on the requirements for their design discipline and on the layers applicable to their specific project.

4.3.2 This layering standard is based on the minimum requirements of the City. Consultants may use their own standards for requirements that exceed those specified herein. Consultants may only use layers of their own discipline, e.g.: Architects must put plumbing fixtures on an A- layer for reference.

4.3.3 This layering standard is organized in accordance with the major groups in the traditional ASMEC order of architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil (site). However, in the AutoCAD layering control command, the layers may be organized alphabetically as ACEMS.

4.3.4 The following standard modifiers may be added to any applicable layers:

I. Building Information Layers*-****- IDEN identification data *-****- PATT cross hatching pattern *-****- DEMO existing to be demolished (hidden linetype, colour 9) *-****- NEW new or proposed work (colour 10)

II. Drawing Information Layers*-****- NOTE notes (WHITE) *-****- TEXT general information and specifications (BLUE) *-****- SYMB symbols, bubbles, etc. (WHITE) *-****- DIMS dimensions (RED) *-****- PATT cross-hatching pattern (colour 13) *-****- NPLT Nonplot information and construction lines (defpoint layer) *-****- PLOT Plotting targets and windows (defpoint layer)

For example, A-WALL-DEMO would designate walls, which are to be demolished. A-FURN-TEXT would be used for specifications for furniture components.

4.3.5 The layering standard includes layers which may not be required initially (e.g., mechanical layers for brine systems) but may be required in the future.
