The AEC (UK) does not follow this convention, as the underscore is a non-breaking character, contrary to other field-based naming standards, and confusing now that Uniclass 2015 utilises underscores between categories. The AEC (UK) also recognises that this causes issues for people following BS1192 to the letter and states: “For strict BS1192:2007+A1:2015 compliance, an underscore should be used prior to the description. That’s why the AEC (UK) recommends a hypen – for consistency. With adoption of Uniclass 2015 (which uses underscores as a field divider) it becomes even messier. nor is it rational or a breaking character. The reason for the underscore isn’t explained in BS1192. That’s a bone of contention with many, Stefan.

Where we have drawings that have multiple elements or not applicable we simply use ZZ for multiple and XX for not required in our classification.Įveryone is probably wondering why we use the six numbers and this is because BS1193 shows a four digit integer number and also because a lot of our schemes have over 300 floor plans for various series hence the need for the six char sheet number! We use the elements and functions tables for the classification of deliverables. We also use Uniclass 2015 classification in our deliverable name! Example: If we need to add a volume number into this we simple substitute the first leading zero in the sequential part of the number with the volume number, Example: We have Working Views for each drawing type and then a series number for drawing types that are to be sheeted up.Ī sheet number consists of the series number and sequential number, Example Revit is now organised using a two character series code, Example: I’ve since developed a file naming creator and an internal deliverable series code which is concatenated with the sequential number.
