RMJM CAD manual Introduction Page 2
Introduction
Welcome to the RMJM CAD procedures manual.
This manual sets out the procedures to be applied to all
projects, with the aim of establishing a common CAD
structure, which will allow easy sharing of data and resources.
These procedures are compulsory. All RMJM staff working
with CAD are required to comply with them.
Projects will be subject to regular review (as part of our standard Quality
Audits) to ensure that the system is being applied, is working correctly and is
meeting our needs in practice.

RMJM CAD manual Drawing control Page 3

Drawing control
The production of the design information required to
construct a building is a long and complex process, often
involving a large team of people over a considerable period of
time.
It is important that information is easy to find, share and use
by every member of the team. To achieve this, the content of
cad drawings and the way in which data is incorporated and
re-used in a project must be managed. This requires the
adoption of standard procedures and rules.
This section defines the CAD criteria required to ensure we
at RMJM share a common working environment.
1.1 Drawing scale
Always draw at 1:1 at a unit measurement of 1mm unless specifically
requested to do otherwise by the client. Incoming drawing information (e.g.
surveys) should always be converted to a 1:1mm scale.
1.2 Drawing origin
To enable drawings to reference and overlay each other they must share a
common origin (insertion) point. All XREF drawings must use this common
reference and be inserted at 0,0,0 at a scale of 1. This must be established at
the beginning of the project and should never be changed without fully
understanding the implications of this action. Consult the CAD manager first.
On single building projects the buildings structural grid should relate to World
co-ordinate point 0,0,0.
For complex multiple building/zone projects a common reference point shared
by all the project team must be established.
1.3 Object properties
CAD objects (lines, text, dims, etc.) must be defined by common criteria rather
than by their individual properties. For example text must be defined by
STYLE, and not individual character specification. This ensures consistency
and facilitates control over appearance, through global definition of the style.
The following object properties must be used:
Colour
The colour of AutoCAD objects will be defined BYLAYER. This will enable their
display to be changed when used as an XREF. Changing an object colour will
only be accepted for occasions where the drawing will not be referenced into
any others and in situations where multiple layer definitions would become
unnecessarily cumbersome.
Linetype
In most cases an objects linetype will be defined BYLAYER. Changing an
object linetype is accepted where the drawing is not referenced into any
others and in situations where multiple layer definitions would become
cumbersome. i.e. Building Services schematic drawings.
Linetype scale
An objects linetype scale should never be changed from the default value of 1.
(except when using the linetype batting, see Section 1.6 RMJM linetypes)
RMJM CAD manual RMJM Dimension styles Page 6
1.4 RMJM text styles
All text must be defined by RMJM text styles. This enables control over all
text in a drawing. The style defines the font used, and the letter spacing. The
text height will be restricted to the following reproduction sizes:
Titles and labels @ 5mm
The character width factor should be 0.8
Text Style Name Font Text height Text width
RMJMnotes RomanS 2.0 0.8
RMJMbold RomanD 5.0 0.8
RMJM-DIM RomanS 2.5 0.8
Style Name with a scale factor of 100 applied
RMJMnotes-100 RomanS 200 (2X100) 0.8
RMJMbold-100 RomanD 500 (5X100) 0.8
RMJM Dim-100 RomanS 200 (2X100) 0.8
Notes at 2mm are acceptable for A3 drawings or similar.
Text must always be inserted on a layer with a T content field [see
Section 4.0 RMJM layering system]
No other Text style shall be used without approval from the Project
Architect/Engineer and the CAD Manager.
Do not override the style with the character properties in MTEXT.
Do not use Arial or other TRUE TYPE fonts, as they use excessive system
resources and can corrupt the drawing when plotting through
VIEWPORTS.
Do not use STANDARD style. Text using this AutoCAD pre-defined text
style will take on the characteristics of the default standard style when
inserted into another drawing
Note: RMJM Text styles with appropriate scaled values can be added to a
drawing by selecting the Set Scale, Text Dim and LT options from the RMJM
Utilities menu.
Menu:-RMJMutilities ~ Object properties ~ Set Scale, Text, Dim, LT ~ 1:100

RMJM CAD manual RMJM Dimension styles Page 7
1.5 RMJM dimension styles
All dimensions must be defined by the RMJM dimension styles.
The DIMSCALE variable should be set to the plotted drawing scale. No other
changes are to be made to the dimension styles.
RMJM dim styles use the RMJM-DIM text style.
The following styles are defined in the RMJM templates and should always be
used.

RMJMtick Used for linear dimensions
RMJMarrow Used for all radial dimensions
Dimensions must always be inserted on a layer with a D content field.
No other style shall be used without approval from the Project
Architect/Engineer and the CAD Manager
Note: RMJM Dim styles with appropriate scaled values can be added to a
drawing by selecting the Scale, Text Dim and LT options from the RMJM
Utilities menu.
E.g.
Menu:-RMJMutilities ~ Object properties ~ Scale, Text Dim and LT ~ 1:1
RMJM CAD manual RMJM Linetypes Page 8
1.6 RMJM linetypes
Special linetype definitions have been written for RMJM. They are based on
the ACADISO linetype file. The ACAD ISO linetypes remain unchanged, however
all the other linetypes have been written with definitions of half the normal
size, resulting in smaller dashes etc. Some extra linetypes have also been
added. Note he RMJM Planting linetype uses a custom shape file called
Landscap.shx. If this linetype is used in our data which is passed onto others
parties, AutoCAD will try to find the file to display the linetype correctly.
Note: All the RMJM linetypes can be loaded from the RMJM Utilities menu.
This will overwrite and re-define existing linetype definitions that share the
same name. A regen will be required to update.
Menu:- RMJMutilities ~ Object properties ~ Load RMJM Linetypes

RMJM Standard Linetypes

RMJM Complex and custom linetypes

Linetype scale
Linetypes will display correctly when the linetypescale (LTS) is set to the
plotting scale, and PSLTSCALE to 0
If multiple viewports showing different scales are used, set the LTS to 1 and
PSLTSCALE to 1. This will automatically scale linetypes to the viewport scale.

Batting
Note that batting linetype is object scale dependant and cannot be used in a
drawing that will be printed at different scales.
Batting has been configured to display 100mm insulation at a LTscale of 100.
If a display of 50mm is required, then the linetypescale of the individual object
must be changed to 0.5 in the Properties.
RMJM CAD manual RMJM Templates Page 12
1.7 RMJM templates
RMJM drawing template files have been set up with default drawing settings.
They must be used for all new drawings to ensure compatibility throughout
the office. They contain RMJM text & dim styles and RMJM linetypes all with
the default scale of 1.
RMJM BASE template
RMJM-base.dwt should be used for all base drawings. Appropriately scaled
text and dim styles can be added from the RMJMutilities menu.
Menu:- RMJMutilities ~ Object properties ~ Set drawing scale
RMJM SHEET template
Sheet template files are available in a range of ISO paper sizes, and each
paper size is available in three layout options; portrait, landscape and
vertical. The best layout for the project should be chosen and adopted
consistently
Drawings must be issued on standard RMJM sheets, unless otherwise
required by the project leader.

One member of each project team, chosen by the project
leader, will act as CAD leader to oversee the implementation
of RMJM procedures under the assistance of CAD Co-
ordinators . They will be responsible for the interpretation
and application of the CAD manual to their project.
The project cad-co-ordinator should ensure:
An appropriate file structure is used for the project (this will depend on
the network structure of the office running the project)
the correct use of the RMJM layers
the use of appropriate drawing content and structure
that only relevant files for the project are retained on the network
that issued drawings are saved and stored appropriately for archiving
that drawings are issued correctly to consultants for information and use
that drawings received from consultants are checked, used and stored
appropriately
that the project files are digitally archived at appropriate stages and at
the end of the job
The project team cad leader should be the first port of call with any problems.
They in turn will consult with the CAD Co-ordinators and group/office CAD
manager.

RMJM CAD manual Drawing content Page 16
2.1 Drawing content
It is important to manage the content of CAD drawings and the way that data
is incorporated and re-used in a project. Too much data in one file will make
the file cumbersome to operate and impossible to share efficiently. Instead
break up the data into smaller drawing files, which can be referenced
together.
This requires planning, and a disciplined filename and filing structure, from the
start of the project. Subsequent changes to filenames and /or locations will
have an impact on XREF files .
File size should be kept small. This speeds up editing and regeneration time.
Avoid the following which take up valuable system resources:
Excessive use of Hatch patterns and / or exploded hatching
Drawing in unnecessary detail
Using multiple Model space viewports
Leaving old or irrelevant data in a drawing file
Leaving unused data on layers that are OFF rather than FROZEN
It is also useful to :
regularly purge your drawing
Audit your drawings
Save frequently
Maximise your resources by restricting the number of drawings open at
any one time
RMJM CAD manual Base drawings general principals Page 17
2.2 BASE and SHEET drawing files
All 2D AutoCAD drawings are divided into base and sheet drawings.
Base drawings contain the project design information. They may be used in
multiple sheet drawings, or may contain data used as BLOCKS or XREFs in
other base drawings.
Sheet drawings are used for issuing design information, either on paper or
digitally, and will contain one or more base drawings, attached by XREF.
Base Drawings: General principles
The RMJMbase template file should always be used
All objects in a base drawing will be in Model space.
The linetype scale (LTS) should be set to the reproduction scale of the
drawing
The general arrangement (GA) base drawings for a project contains the
principal building elements common to all descriptive and work package
drawings the architecture.
This might include :
The principal building structure
Walls and openings (doors and windows) external and internal
Stairs and services cores
Room references, levels, section and elevation markers
XREF files of the grid, stair cores, WC service blocks and others common
to each floor. These must be inserted as an OVERLAY
GA drawings will be XREFd into many other drawings at different scales and
should therefore be kept simple and free from unnecessary text and
dimensions.
A typical element or work package base drawing will contain only elements
specific to that work package
This might include:
the elements particular to the work package, i.e. a reflective ceiling plan
might contain the tile and lighting layout
detail and specification references, dimensions, component details and
notes
XREF files of the relevant GA base drawing inserted as an OVERLAY
RMJM CAD manual Sheet drawings general principals Page 18
Sheet Drawings: General principles
The objects in a sheet drawing are in both Model and Layout (Paper) space.
The design information in Model space is presented to a given scale through a
Paper space viewport.
Sheet files should be based on a RMJM sheet template.
In Model space Base drawings should be inserted as an XREF OVERLAY on
layer 000, at the co-ordinates 0,0,0; at a scale of 1;.
A typical work package sheet drawing might include:
XREF files of:
the relevant GA base drawing
the building grid base drawing
the relevant work package base drawing
And in Paper space
the appropriate standard RMJM drawing title block with ATTRIBUTES
completed
one or more viewports showing the design information to a scale (a
named view should be saved for each viewport, and the vieewport locked.
a key plan
the clients logo
north sign
drawing notes
revision notes and clouds
Extra pertinent information to the issue may be added in Model or Paper
space where it is unique to the drawing and will not be cross-referenced to
any other drawings, i.e. work package detail references, hatching or specific
notes.
The file should always be saved in Layout Space ready for plotting.
RMJM CAD manual Base drawing file names Page 19
2.3 BASE drawing file names
Drawing names in AutoCAD must be limited in length, whilst identifying, briefly
and concisely, what the drawing contains. The naming of the drawings within
AutoCAD is therefore fundamental to the success of data sharing and
exchange.
A coding system for naming drawings is used, consisting of numbers and
characters grouped into five fields. It must be applied rigorously and all fields
must be completed. Note the grouping of the fields and the location of the
separator hyphens.

Example base drawing name:
Field 1 Job / Project number :
This uniquely identifies the file to the project.
Field 2 Drawing Type :
Denotes the type of AutoCAD drawing using the letters
P Plan S Section E Elevation D Detail
Field 3 Zone :
Identifies the zone within the building to which the drawing applies. This is
essential for large buildings and multiple buildings on one site.
Z Will be used for projects with one building and for site wide drawings of a
multi-zone site.
A will be used for the first zone/building in a larger development. Other
alphabetic characters will be used to identify further buildings or zones.
Zone A
Zone B
Zone C

/Orientation Job Number
Discipline Code
Content
Field 4 Content :
This field describes the information contained within the drawing and will use
a two letter descriptive code or two digit Ci/sfB elemental code to identify
the nature of the information contained in the drawing.
Typical descriptive drawing codes are:
GA general arrangement layout (the base drawing)
BW information for building warrant
PL planning information
SP space planning graphics
SV survey data
EX Existing buildings but not survey data
GR Grid
CL Columns
WL Walls
SK Sketch files
Ci/sfB elemental codes are used to identify element, component or work
package drawings, for example:
21 External walls - primary elements, i.e. blockwork, wall details
41 External walls cladding / finishes
63 Services - lighting
95 External works roads, paving & finishes
A list of the principal Ci/sfB codes is given in Section 6 for reference.
Field 5 Location :
The location code will vary depending on the drawing type.


Plans :
Each floor will have a numeric code. The GROUND floor will be 100, the first
floor 101, and the next 102and so on.
(No letters should be used - G, B, M etc are not acceptable.)
010 Site / external works
098 Lower basement
099 Basement
100 Ground floor
101 First floor
102 Second floor Etc.
Sections :
Sections through the whole of a zone should be defined with two letters to
identify the section. Sections in one direction should have the same first
character. Further sections in the same alignment should have progressive
second characters.
So the first group of sections will be AA, AB AZ,
and the next group will be BA, BB BZ.
Sections through part of a zone (eg detail sections through a particular floor
level) will be a combination of letters and numbers A1, A2 ....A9.
Again the letter will identify the direction of the section to be consistent with
other sections.

Section SA-GA-AB
Section SB-GA-A1
Section SA-GA-BB
Section SB-GA-A2
Section SA-GA-A1
Section SB-GA-BA
Section SC-GA-AA
Section SA-GA-BA
Section SA-GA-AA
Section SB-GA-B2
Section SB-GA-B1
Elevations :
Each elevation will be described by the geographical orientation of the
elevation.
Where two or more elevations have the same orientation they are numbered
in order of importance. N1, N2, S1 etc.
Elevation EC-GA-E1
Elevation EB-GA-E1

Elevation EA-GA-N1

RMJM CAD manual Sheet drawing file names Page 23
2.4 SHEET drawing file names
The sheet file name is based on the project drawing number on the paper
drawing. This is made from the following four fields:
Example sheet drawing name:

Field 1 Job Number [compulsory]
This uniquely identifies the drawing with the project. This has become
increasingly necessary with drawings issued on line, and is essential for
archiving.
Field 2 Building Zone [as required by project]
A single letter. Used in projects where the building or site is subdivided into
zones. [See Field 3, under Base drawing filenames]
Field 3 Element Code [compulsory and in brackets]
A descriptive two character code or the Ci/sfB coding is used to identify the
sheet number.
In this case the element code is used to describe WHY the sheet is produced
rather than WHAT is contained in the base model.
Field 4 Drawing Number [compulsory]
An incremental number based on the following table.
2001 A (21) A123
Job Number
Element code
Drawing Number
Building Zone
Discipline Code

RMJM CAD manual Drawing management Page 25
2.5 Drawing management
It is important to manage the content of CAD drawings and the way that data
is incorporated and re-used in a project. This is achieved through the use of
XREFs. Their use requires planning, and a disciplined filename and filing
structure, from the start of the project.
To ensure flexibility, ALL XREFs should always be inserted as an OVERLAY,
this is NOT the AutoCAD default and must be selected
Note: it is possible to change the attachment status by double clicking on this
in the XREF management box.
XREFs should be INSERTED onto layer 0 or 000
The AutoCAD system variable XLOADCTL must be set to 2 to enable the
file sharing of XREFs, (This option is known as Enable with Copy)
The AutoCAD system variable VISRETAIN should be set to 1. The drawing
content of an XREF cannot be changed, however the layer colour, linetype
and layer visibility can be amended, and the altered state retained within
the drawing
An XREF should be DETACHED via the XREF Manager if not required and
not ERASED from the drawing
2.6 Approved BASE drawings (not presently used in Dubai office)
The use of XREFs to share and overlay drawing information can lead to
problems if we do not carefully identify the status of information.
The thoughtless addition of new layers to an existing drawing, which is already
XREFd into sheets, can lead to layers and information unexpectedly appearing
in completed sheets when plotted.
In addition, other members of the design team need to have available to them
layouts and arrangements which are frozen to reflect a particular stage in
development. The use of live information can lead, for instance, to a services
drawing being plotted with a door in the middle of a room if the base drawing
is in the process of change.
The following system has been adopted to facilitate the management of XREF
drawings in a multi discipline office.
Once checked and approved by the Project Architect, all constituent
BASE drawings will be renamed and saved as APPROVED drawings in a
separate approved directory
These drawing must be renamed, by appending to them the letters AP
E.g.: 2001- PA-GA-100 will be renamed to 2001-PA-GA-100AP
These drawings should not be modified. Their status should be changed
to read only
These APPROVED drawings may now be safely referenced by others on
the design team directly from the approved directory
Drawing sheets must only contain XREF base drawings from the
approved directory with an AP suffix
Work may immediately continue on the live BASE drawing without
adversely effecting others on the design team
This system also acts as a quality check on drawings. It ensures that
unchecked or unfinished drawings are not accidentally issued to external
consultants, as drawing sheets only contain APPROVED drawings.
2.7 Drawing issue
All drawing information must be formally issued on RMJM sheets with a
drawing issue record form (digitally or in paper form) which identifies the
reason for issue, the revision status of the drawing, and the date of issue.
A master hard copy of all paper issued drawings must be initialled and dated
by the Project Leader. If a drawing is re-issued as a revision, this will
supersede the previously held copy.
It is necessary to keep full size copies of the following drawings, all others can
be kept as A3 (or A2 if un-readable) copies.
The planning submission drawings, (Building warrant drawings)
Any drawings used for legal documents (ownership boundaries etc.)
The TENDER drawings
The last revision of the CONSTRUCTION drawings
AS BUILT drawings
2A legible A3 copy must be kept of all issued drawings, and revisions
2.8 Revision Letters
Following revision letters have to be used in various stage of drawing issues:
Upto Tender issue - A,B,C ( Alphabets only)
From Tender to Construction - T0,T1,T2,T3..
Construction stage - 00,01,02,03..
Final Tender issue should be kept as Contract Package. It is necessary to
keep full size copies of drawings as wells as in CDs also.
A digital copy of issued drawings must be kept in respective issue folders.
The drawing should have its XREFs bound.
If the folder is named as the issue date written backwards, the folders will
display in date order.
Eg: 3001 /Tender/2002-06-12 (year/month/day)
Periodically data kept in the project Archive folder should be removed and
kept on CD. Two copies should be made, one held in a central location, in a fire
safe or off site, and the other to be kept with the project design team.
2.9 Digital drawing issue and file sharing
These may be drawings attached to email, written to CD, or via a project
dedicated Extranet.
File types suitable for view and ploting only
If the drawing is for on screen viewing and plotting, the CAD data is not
necessary. A digital plot of the file will be sufficient. The data cannot be
changed or reused. The following file formats are suitable.
PLT or a PLOT file, often the HPGL2 file format is used
DWF or AutoCAD Web Drawing Format, or an eplot
PDF or Adobe acrobat file
Sharing CAD data
If CAD data is required that can be re-used by others, the following options
are available for issuing data. Which you choose will depend on the frequency
of issues, and prior arrangement with the third party.
Option 1 The base drawing XREFs are BOUND into the drawing sheet.
Option 2 The drawing is saved using the command eTransmit.
This command includes the option to save all the files that are used to display
and print a drawing, to a zip file or a chosen directory. XREF paths can be
removed, and the drawing can be converted to older file formats if required.
This method has the advantage of including the RMJM pen table and other
custom files in the saved set. The recipient either opens the drawings directly
from the directory, or can choose to file and re-path as required. Multiple
drawings can be saved to the same directory, with common files overwritten.
This could significantly reduce the quantity of data transmitted. eTransmit is
available in full AutoCAD from issue 2000i onwards and ACLT 2004.
RMJM CAD manual File directory structure Page 28

File directory structure
It is essential that all project data is filed in a common, coherent system
for easy access to data. A typical folder structure has been detailed
below.

The ADMIN folder will contain documents related the project. The
07_transmittals folder will be the only one accessible to all CAD staff.

The ARCHIVE folder is a temporary storage space before data is
transferred to the Archiving System.

The CAD folder will contain Cad drawings of all disciplines.
The 00_Current folder and it's sub-folders under each discipline, should
at any time contain the latest/working drawings. The folders that follow
are storage folders for various drawing issues. They should only contain
drawing files in bound format and should not be used for working.

The GRAPHICS folder will contain presentation files and related images.

File directory structure Project folder
The initial branches of the project-filing tree are predefined, as llustrated

The filing tree branches out into the following sub-directories


The CAD directory is further subdivided into the following folders:


Current folder under CAD directory is subdivided into the following folders:

File directory structure Prospect folder
The initial branches of the project-filing tree are predefined, as illustrated:

The filing tree branches out into the following sub-directories

The CAD directory is further subdivided
into the following folders:


RMJM layering system
Grouping drawing elements onto layers gives users flexibility
over the display of CAD data, and enables control over the
visibility of objects in different viewports and XREFs. The
adoption of a standardised and rigorously applied layering
system is an essential element of CAD management.
RMJM uses a layer naming convention based on BS 1192 Part 5. It must be
applied to all drawings. Layer names are divided into a series of fields. These
fields enable layer names to be sorted and filtered easily in the AutoCAD layer
manager.
RMJM CAD manual Layer names Page 36
4.1 Layer naming convention
RMJM Layer name always use CAPITOL letters
RMJM layer names are divided into fields Not all fields are required, in most
cases the first 3 fields are sufficient.

Discipline / Author Category / Element Content Grade Scale
Field 1 Discipline/Author [compulsory]
This describes the discipline of the author of the data held on a layer.
This field is compulsory and consists of ONE letter only.
This allows various disciplines to use the same category or element code

Field 4 grade [as required]
This field is rarely used
It describes the alternative line weight of a pre-defined layer. It is only
applicable to objects that share the same element code.
It will always follow the GRAPHICS CONTENT field G and consists of ONE
character only.
It describes the AutoCAD colour used.
External wall seen behind window section detail drawn in pen 1

Field 5 scale [as required]
The field is rarely used, as data of various scales generally should not be
mixed in a drawing.
This field indicate the scale at which objects are to be plotted where the
drawing includes data to be plotted at various scales.
It must always be prefixed by a hyphen and consists of digits only. To
enable the filtering of layers they are always the after the sixth
character of the layer name.
This field might be used for dimensions and text but could also be used for
some graphical elements such as insulation drawn with the batting linetype.
Example:

4.2 RMJM layer menus
To help the setting up of new layers, a bespoke layer menu has been written
for RMJM. This enables the creation of layers by selection from a menu
hierarchy based on disciple and common building elements. A short
description of each layers intended content is included.
Creating layers from the menu is quick and ensures the correct naming
convention is used.

A Layer lookup menu is also available, to help identify existing layers content.
Note this menu doesnt do anything but will help you to identify content form
the layer name.


RMJM pen assignments
Although AutCAD supports multiple Layout spaces, to avoid
confusion, only ONE LAYOUT tab will be used for each drawing
issue sheet file.
RMJM uses plot style table or ctb file where AutoCAD colours
are interpreted by the plot style table.
RMJM will use the following pen thickness for AutoCAD colours

RMJM-black-A1
All pen plot in black except 250-255 which use shades of grey, pens
1-15, 16-19 & 61-69 @ RMJM pen widths, all others at 0.18mm with the
exception of every 10
TH
colour, which will have a line thickness of 0.5mm.

Colour 110, 120, 130, 140 will have 0.40mm in A1 ctb and 0.30mm in A3 ctb

For colour 253 in A3 ctb:- colour as use object colour with screening 80
and A1 ctb:- colour properties as Black with screening 80

RMJM-black-A3
Same as RMJM-black-A1, but with reduced pen thickness.

RMJM-thin.ctb
All pens in black @ pen width 0.18
This Plot style can be used for plotting drawings from outside.

RMJM-Colour.ctb
Pens 1-15 in black @ RMJM pen width, the rest in various shades and
tones of colour.

RMJM-Colour has been designed for colour plotting. It will plot a variety of
shades of colour and grey tones. The output is considerable different to the
AutoCAD screen colour. An approximation can be viewed on screen through a
layout tab, configured with Page Setup to display plot styles. Note pen No.
255 will display as white (does not plot), if combined with the plotter settings
overwrite, objects filled with this colour will overlay other content. I.e. on an
elevation drawing, contex data such as people can overlay the building without
the need to trim. All such content should be held in a separate dwg. And used
as an XREF.
Before using RMJM-colour.ctb, a reference swatch should be printed on the
output device.
A colour swatch file called RMJM-chroma.dwg can be found in the
AutoCAD Support directory

Layer code names

The following list offers a relatively comprehensive
breakdown of building elements.
To restrict the number of layers in a drawing it is suggested
that in the majority of situations these can be limited to the
general layers (ending in 0), i.e. A210 for external walls, A310
for windows, and so on. Further sub-division is only required
where it is necessary to distinguish between different types
of the same element, i.e. masonry external walls (A210) and
curtain walling (A214).
