1. CEE 498C AutoCAD Graphics Communication for Civil and Environmental Engineers Creating Drawings Sets for CEE Projects Chapter 18

2. “ The United States National CAD Standard (NCS) streamlines and simplifies the exchange of building design and construction data from project development throughout the life of a facility. It coordinates the efforts of the entire industry by classifying electronic building design data consistently allowing streamlined communication among owners and design and construction project teams. Use of the NCS can reduce costs and produce greater efficiency in the design and construction process National CAD Standards for Creating Drawing Sets

3. NCS and Consistency common terms and symbols naming conventions Information in the same place in all drawing sets predictable file translation Streamline checking errors and omissions. http://www.nationalcadstandard.org National CAD Standards for Creating Drawing Sets

4. NCS and BIM NCS is connected with the National BIM Standard- United States (NBIMS-US). NCS supports the printed output of NBIMS Clients requesting NCS compliance?

5. First release in July 1999 The United States National CAD Standard® (NCS) is comprised of: –American Institute of Architect's (AIA) CAD Layer Guidelines –the Construction Specification Institute's (CSI) Uniform Drawing System (UDS) – the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) Plotting Guidelines.

61. CAD Layer Name: Major Group AI-WALL-FULL-DIMS-N The mandatory Major Group field is a four-character field that identifies a major building system. The prescribed Major Group field codes (four-character abbreviations) show on the Layer List are logically grouped with specific discipline designators. However, any Major Group may be combined with any prescribed Discipline Designator, provided that the definition of the Major Group remains unchanged. User-defined Major Group field codes are not permitted.

62. Examples: V* - BLDG - *Surveying / mapping – buildings and primary structures V* - POWR - *Surveying / mapping – power B* - BORE - *Geotechnical - borings C* - DRIV - *Civil – driveways S* - BEAM - *Structural – beams S* - FNDN - *Structural – foundations A* - DOOR - *Architectural – doors AI – WALL - * Architectural Interior – walls CAD Layer Name: Major Group

63. CAD Layer Name: Minor Groups AI-WALL-FULL-DIMS-N The optional Minor Group fields are four-character fields that provide further clarification of information contained on a layer. The prescribed Minor Group field codes (four-character abbreviations) show on the Layer List are logically grouped with specific discipline designators. However, any Major Group may be combined with any prescribed Discipline Designator, provided that the definition of the Major Group remains unchanged. User-defined Minor Group field codes are permitted.

64. Examples: V* - BLDG - DECK Surveying / mapping – buildings - outdoor decks V* - POWR - MHOL Surveying / mapping – power - manholes B* - BORE - FDTA Geotechnical – borings – field data C* - DRIV - FLNE - SIGNCivil – driveways – fire lane – pavement markings S* - BEAM - STEL Structural – beams - steel S* - FNDN - PIER Structural – foundations – drilled piers A* - DOOR - FULL Architectural – doors – full height AI – WALL - FIRE Architectural Interior – walls – fire wall CAD Layer Name: Minor Groups

65. CAD Layer Name: Status AI-WALL-FULL-DIMS-N The optional Status field is a one-character field that distinguishes the data contained on the layer according to the status of the work or the construction phase. The prescribed field codes are as follows: NNew work EExisting to remain DExisting to demolish FFuture work TTemporary work MItems to be moved XNot in contract 1-9Phase numbers
