NCS Recommends the following codes for Model files. Use these designations for View file names: ■ FP = Floor Plan ■ SP = Site Plan ■ DP = Demolition Plan ■ QP = eQuipment Plan ■ XP = eXisting Plan ■ EL = ELevation ■ SC = SeCtion ■ DT = DeTail ■ SH = ScHedules ■ 3D = isometrics/3D ■ DG = DiaGrams Technically, FP would be used for any type of Plan and each would simply be enumerated. So, the first floor plan might be: A-FP01, while the first floor ceiling plan might be: A-FP02. However, A-FP02 for a ceiling plan on the first floor is confusing to most people and it is highly likely you would run out of codes with only two digits. Therefore, the following abbreviations are used almost universally by most firms: ■ CP = reflected Ceiling Plan ■ RP = fuRniture Plan ■ EP = Enlarged Plan While A-3D01 would technically be correct for the name of a composite model, the following is recommended: ■ CM = Composite Model So the file would be named A-CM01. (You could also use A-CM00 for the first composite model in a set. It is not that critical with which number you start.) NCS knows nothing about constructs. Since their names indicate drawing type and function, they are best suited to use as View file names. Consider descriptive names for Constructs such as: ■ 01 Walls ■ 01 Shell and Core ■ 01 Floor ■ 01 Floor Plate (not Plan) ■ Stair (for spanning Stairs) ■ 00 Stair (alternative for stairs) ■ Roof ■ 01 Slab For sheets, the NCS system is fine. They recommend the number of the sheet, which typically includes the discipline code as well. The number is in two parts: the first digit is a code indicating drawing type, and the remaining two are an enumeration. ■ 1 = Plans (Horizontal Views) ■ 2 = Elevations (Vertical Views) ■ 3 = Sections (Sectional Views) ■ 4 = Large Scale Views (Plans, Sections & Elevations that are not Details) 324 | Chapter 6 Drawing Management
