Decimal Sheet Numbering for Structural Drafting
Written by Allan Wise - Jan 2005
What is it about?
The core concept of this system is to break up the drawing sheets into more
manageable bits by isolating building elements into groups. The isolating of parts
dramatically reduces errors in cross referencing drawing sheets.
The list acts as a "pilot guide" in set planning. Thus drawing sets can
grow as the project grows.
A decimal division has been chosen because it is a common standard to
define a part of a whole number.
For smaller jobs the elements on the sheet may be mixed, plans and slab details
for example. In this case use the lowest number that is applicable to that drawing. For
example plans and slab details would be S2.
