A standardized organizational structure for the drawing set allows users to assemble, locate, and retrieve information quickly and efficiently. A project drawing set typically serves two primary purposes: one, as a component of the procurement documents, it is used for competitive bidding or direct negotiation; and, two, as a component of the construction documents, it is used to build the facility. The construction drawing set may also include supplemental information, including addenda drawings, modification drawings, and clarification drawings.  \nSET CONTENT AND ORDER  \nIt is useful to establish a basic understanding of terms used throughout this book. A drawing is a graphic representation of information in a two-dimensional format used to indicate the configuration, location, and size of project components and elements. One or more drawings may be assembled onto a sheet, which can be a piece of paper or an electronic file. Drawing sheets are assembled into subsets, generally by design discipline, sometimes called discipline sets. These discipline sets are organized in a specific order. The drawing set may also include a cover sheet, General sheets, and Resource sheets, which are explained later in this chapter. Figure 1-1 illustrates the major subsets and their order within the drawing set.  \nSubsets (Discipline Sets)  \nThe subset is the heart of the organizational structure for the drawing set. The U.S. National CAD Standard (NCS) identifies standard drawing subsets and prescribes their order within the drawing set. If a cover sheet is used, this is the first sheet in the drawing set. It may or may not include sheet identification. (Refer to Chapter 2,“Sheet Organization,” for information about the layout of a cover sheet and the related use of sheet identification.) The broad scope subsets, such as General, Architectural, Mechanical, and Electrical, may be broken down into narrow scope subsets, such as Architectural Demolition or Architectural Site. The NCS does not prescribe the order of subsets when broad and narrow scope subsets are used together. The focus of the subset should be used to determine the order.  \nWhile most subsets represent design disciplines, the General sheet information pertains to all disciplines and Resource sheet information represents information that are not be part of the contract documents.  \nGeneral Sheets  \nGeneral sheets, sometimes called “G-sheets,” are the first subset within the drawing set. Information that appears on these sheets applies to all sheets in the drawing set. These sheets may  \n14 ■ The Architect’s Guide to the U.S. National CAD Standard  \n~~ ~~ O-OPERATIONS  \n~~ ~~ Z-CONTRACTOR/SHOP DRAWINGS  \n~~ ~~ X -OTHER DISCIPLINES  \n~~ ~~ R-RESOURCE  \n~~ ~~ T-TELECOMMUNICATIONS  \n~~ ~~ E-ELECTRICAL ~~ ~~ M-MECHANICAL ~~ ~~ D-PROCESS  \n~~ ~~ P-PLUMBING  \n~~ ~~ F-FIRE PROTECTION  \n~~ ~~ Q-EQUIPMENT  \n~~ ~~ I -INTERIORS  \n~~ ~~ A-ARCHITECTURAL  \n~~ ~~ S-STRUCTURAL  \n~~ ~~ L-LANDSCAPE  \n~~ ~~ C-CIVIL  \n~~ ~~ W-CIVIL WORKS  \n~~ ~~ B-GEOTECHNICAL  \n~~ ~~ V-SURVEY/MAPPING ~~ ~~ H – HAZARDOUS MATERIALS  \n~~ ~~ G-GENERAL  \nCOVER SHEET  \nFIGURE 1-1: Typical Drawing Set Order  \nFYI: The discipline designator was first called the \"discipline code\" by the AIA in its earlier versions of the CAD Layer Guidelines, but it was changed to the \"discipline designator\" to match CSI Uniform Drawing System terminology.  \ninclude code information, drawing sheet index, symbol legend, drawing sheet logic, general contract information, and other project information.
