It is expected that majority of large scale projects in the UK and elsewhere follow this standard to be in line with the latest industry protocols. The UK BIM Alliance published a guide to help individuals and businesses in the UK understand the fundamental principles of this standard. This is now incorporated in UK BIM Framework Standards & Guidance.
Drawing Numbering Convention
According to ISO, issued drawings should follow Project – Originator – Volume/System – Level/Location – Type – Role – Number – Suitability – Revision.
For detailed explanation of each field please read guidance by NG Bailey or by Viewpoint
| Field 1 | Field 2 | Field 3 | Field 4 | Field 5 | Field 6 | Field 7 | Field 8 | Field 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project Number | Originator | Volume / System | Level / Location | Type | Role | Number | Suitability | Revision |
| 12345 | CMP | Z1 | L1 | DR | A | 10001 | S1 | P01 |
Bimlead have prepared a Autodesk Revit® & Graphisoft ArchiCAD® project template with in-built parameters related to the ISO drawing numbering convention. We have provided a example A1 title block for both the software and have included the A1 titleblock as well as shared parameter file for Revit. The users can add other titleblock templates such as A2 & A3 as required by modifying the A1 template provided.
Below is a description of how the Field information within each software is driven by the parameters. Status and Revision codes are driven by metadata but can be easily incorporated into titleblocks if needed. The templates can be downloaded from our Tools section above (requires email input). If you have any comments, please feel free to let us know in the comments section below or email us using the contact form, we will be happy to help.
