0.0 Introduction
0.1 OVERVIEW
Virtually all vector-based CAD systems support the concept of layers. This function allows building design information to be organized in a systematic fashion, facilitates the visual display of the information on a computer screen, and allows the information to be efficiently converted to the conventional print media of drawings. Efficient use of layers can reduce document preparation time and improve document coordination. Organizing data by layers allows a single CAD file to contain a wealth of information about a building or facility. By turning selected layers on or off, data can be created, reviewed and edited according to a hierarchy that simulates the physical organization of building systems, the relative position of building elements, or the sequence of construction.

0.2 A BRIEF HISTORY OF CAD LAYER GUIDELINES (CLG)

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) published the first edition of CAD Layer Guidelines in 1990. The early success of the first edition and rapidly evolving technology resulted in the second edition being published in 1997. The most significant change between the first and second editions was the elimination of the "short" layer name format and the adoption of the long layer name format as a single standard. The second edition also included additional layer field codes for remodeling projects, added new discipline designations for interiors, telecommunications, and other disciplines, and improved the method of organizing drawing annotation. In July 1997, the AIA agreed to incorporate CAD Layer Guidelines into the emerging United States National CAD Standard (NCS), a project of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). The AIA and NIBS were joined in that effort by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and what is now known as the CADD/GIS Technology Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. CSI and CADD/GIS Technology Center agreed to incorporate their own publications, the Uniform Drawing System and the Plotting Guidelines, respectively, into the NCS. These four constituent publishers, as they came to be known, were joined by a number of building design and construction industry organizations in developing and publishing the NCS. In March 1999, the U.S. National CAD Standard Project Committee (NCS Project Committee) formally accepted CAD Layer Guidelines, Second Edition (with minor amendments) as a constituent document of the NCS Version 1.0, published in July 1999. The NCS Project Committee immediately set to work on publication of Version 2.0, which was published in 2002. Considerable confusion resulted from the lack of "alignment" between the "Second Edition" of CAD Layer Guidelines and "Version 1.0" of the NCS. Because CAD Layer Guidelines, Second Edition was published before, and later incorporated into, the NCS Version 1.0, this could not be avoided. With publication of the NCS Version 2.0, this problem was corrected by giving the constituent document an entirely new name. For the first time, "AIA" became part of the title of the publication, and the numbered "editions" were abandoned. As a result, this publication became known as AIA CAD Layer Guidelines: U.S. National CAD Standard - Version 2.0. Subsequent editions of the NCS adopted the same nomenclature.
1.0 Layer Name Format

1.1 HIERARCHY OF DATA FIELDS
The layer name format is organized as a hierarchy. This arrangement allows users to select from a number of options for naming layers according to the level of detailed information desired. Layer names consist of distinct data fields separated from one another by dashes. A detailed list of abbreviations, or field codes, is prescribed to define the content of layers. Most field codes are mnemonic English abbreviations of construction terminology that are easy to remember. There are four defined layer name data fields: Discipline Designator, Major Group, two Minor Groups, Designator Group Groups and Status The Discipline Designator and Major Group fields are mandatory. The Minor Group and Status Status. fields are optional. Each data field is separated from adjacent fields by a dash ("-") for clarity. The complete NCS layer name format, showing the Discipline Designator, the Major Group, two Minor Groups, and the Status fields. A I - W A L L - F U L L - D I M S - N

1.2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The NCS allows you to select from a number of format options for creating layer names. It is recommended that you select the options that you wish to use for layer names on a given project, and then apply the resulting format consistently for all layer names on that project. NOTE: For conceptual conformance to ISO 13567, Organization and Naming of Layers for CAD, the layer name format and length must be the same for all layers on a given project. See CLG Appendix C - Complying with NCS and ISO 13567, CLG section 6.0 for information about ISO conformance.
1.3 DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR, LEVEL 1

The Discipline Designator denotes the category of subject matter contained on the specified layer. The Discipline Designator is a two-character field. The first character is the discipline character, and the second character is an optional modifier. The Discipline Designator is described in greater detail in UDS Section 1.3. For a complete list of Discipline Designators see CLG Appendix A - Discipline Designators, CLG section 4.1 and UDS Appendix A - Discipline Designators, UDS section 1.6.

Note that only the mandatory discipline character is shown, creating a Level 1 Discipline Designator. A - W A L L
1.4 DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR, LEVEL 2

The optional second character is used to further define the discipline character. As an example, the Level 2 Discipline Designators for Architectural are shown: Designator Description A typical layer name showing the required data fields only.

Note that the mandatory Level 1 discipline character is supplemented by the optional discipline modifier to create a Level 2 Discipline Designator. A D - W A L L
For a complete list of Discipline Designators see CLG Appendix A - List of Discipline Designators, Major and Minor Groups, and Status Fields, CLG section 4.1 and UDS Appendix A - Discipline Designators, UDS section 1.6.
1.5 MAJOR GROUP

The major group is a four-character field that identifies a major A typical layer name showing the required data fields building system. The prescribed Major Group field codes (fouronly. The mandatory Major Group field is highlighted: character abbreviations) shown on the Layer List are logically grouped with specific discipline designators. However, any A - W A L L Major Group may be combined with any prescribed Discipline Designator, provided that the definition of the Major Group remains unchanged. Therefore, any reasonable combination of the prescribed Discipline Designators and Major Groups is permitted. NOTE: The NCS recognizes that there will be instances where user-defined Major Group field codes will be required. The NCS set of Major Group field codes is not intended to be all inclusive. There will be instances when project specific Major Groups will need to be created. In these cases Major Group field codes are allowed, however, they must contain four alphabetic and/or numeric characters and/or "~", and must be fully documented on the NCS Compliance Disclosure Statement for the project or identified as project specific in the standard supplement in which they are used. NOTE: For conceptual conformance to ISO 13567, Organization and Naming of Layers for CAD, the use of the Major Group "ANNO" is not permitted. See CLG Appendix C - Complying with NCS and ISO 13567, CLG section 6.0 for information about ISO conformance.
1.6 MINOR GROUP

This is an optional, four-character field to further define the Major Groups. For example, A-WALL-FULL denotes Architectural, Wall, Full-height. A second minor group may be used for still further delineation of the data contained on a layer. For example, A-WALL-FULL TEXT indicates Architectural, Wall, Full-height, Text. The prescribed Minor Group field codes (four-character abbreviations) shown on the Layer List are logically grouped with specific Major Groups. However, any Minor Group may be used to modify any Major Group, provided that the definition of A typical layer name showing one optional Minor Group field: A - W A L L - F U L L A typical layer name showing two optional Minor Group fields: A - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T

the Minor Group remains unchanged. Therefore, any reasonable combination of the prescribed Major and Minor Groups is permitted. NOTE: User-defined Minor Group field codes are permitted. They must contain four alphabetic and/or numeric characters and/or "~", and must be fully documented on the NCS Compliance Disclosure Statement for the project on which they are used. NOTE: For conceptual conformance to ISO 13567, Organization and Naming of Layers for CAD, the use of certain Minor Group field codes is restricted. See CLG Appendix C - Complying with NCS and ISO 13567, CLG section 6.0 for information about ISO conformance.
1.7 STATUS (PHASE)

The status field is an optional single-character field that distinguishes the data contained on the layer according to the status of the work or the construction phase. The prescribed field codes for this field are as follows: STATUS FIELD CODES A D E F M N T X 1-9 Abandoned Existing to demolish Existing to remain Future work Items to be moved New work Temporary work Not in contract Phase numbers A typical layer name showing the location of the optional Status field: A - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N
NOTE: For conceptual conformance to ISO 13567, Organization and Naming of Layers for CAD, this field may be used to denote either "Status" OR "Phase," but not BOTH. See CLG Appendix C - Complying with NCS and ISO 13567, CLG section 6.0 for information about ISO conformance.
2.0 Drawing View Layer List

2.1 DRAWING VIEW FIELD CODES
The Drawing View field codes are specialized codes for layers that are organized primarily by drawing type, rather than by major building system. The field codes DETL, ELEV, and SECT may also be used as Minor Group field codes to modify a major building system. For data sets that are organized by drawing type, an optional alphanumeric Minor Group field code, ANNN, is prescribed to further distinguish drawings within a single CAD file. This Minor Group may be used ONLY to modify the prescribed Drawing View Major Groups; it may not be used to modify any other Major Group. The format of ANNN is also prescribed. It must consist of a single alphabetic character followed by a three-digit number between 001 and 999. The definition of ANNN is not prescribed; it must be defined by the user. The definition must be documented on the NCS Compliance Disclosure Statement for the project on which it is used. The Minor Group field codes IDEN, MBND, MCUT, OTLN, and PATT may be used to modify any Major or Minor Group in the Layer List. The definitions of these prescribed field codes cannot be changed. See CLG Sections 1.5 and 1.6 for rules and options governing the use of field codes.

3.0 Annotation Layer List

3.1 ANNOTATION FIELD CODES
Annotation consists of text, dimensions, notes, sheet borders, detail references and other elements on CAD drawings that do not represent physical aspects of a building. Use of the Major Group ANNO allows all annotation to be placed in a defined group of layers. The Layer Names shown below provide examples for the use of Minor Group field codes for annotation. These Minor Groups may be used to modify any Major or Minor Group in the Layer List. See CLG Sections 1.5 and 1.6 for complete rules and options governing the use of Major and Minor Group field codes.

6.0 Appendix C - Complying with NCS and ISO 13567

6.1 OVERVIEW
The International Standards Organization (ISO) is the only recognized international body promulgating standards in the area of electronic building design data. ISO Standard 13567, Organization and Naming of Layers for CAD, can be purchased at http://www.ansi.org. The complete document is in three parts: 13567-1, 13567-2, and 13567-3. While the United States National CAD Standard (NCS) and ISO 13567 differ somewhat in their approach to standards for CAD layers, they are alike in several important respects. Both standards specify the names of the data fields that make up a typical layer name, define the field names, specify which fields are mandatory (required) and which fields are optional, specify the number of characters in each field, and specify the order in which the fields are to appear. When one compares the NCS and ISO layer formats shown above, the question immediately arises whether it is possible to produce electronic building design documents that conform to both the NCS and ISO 13567. The answer is a qualified "yes." Both standards provide several options for naming layers. The range of options allows either standard to meet the needs of diverse users and projects. By carefully choosing from among the available NCS options for naming CAD layers, and by establishing and adhering to the guidelines at the end of this Commentary, documents can be produced that are in full conformance with the NCS and in conceptual conformance with ISO 13567 for the naming of CAD layers (an acceptable alternative to ISO default conformance). Adoption of the approach outlined herein could arguably reduce the effort required to produce documents in conformance with ISO 13567 by eliminating the ISO-mandated task of prescribing valid field codes for each project.
6.2 FIELD CODES

The NCS and ISO 13567 differ in one important respect. The NCS prescribes the valid alpha-numeric field codes that can appear in each data field, and the definitions of the field codes (e.g., EQPM = equipment). Users of ISO 13567 must determine, for each project, the valid field codes for that project and their definitions. ISO 13567 users are required to document TWO STANDARDS OR ONE? The NCS offers users an opportunity to comply with both U.S. and ISO CAD standards. By adhering to the guidelines in this commentary, summarized in ten (10) steps on the last page,
7/21/2011
Page 89 of 94
this information in a metadata file known as a layer naming system definition file that must accompany the project data files. In its simplest form, this is nothing more than a tab-delimited text file.
the NCS becomes a "country-specific" implementation of the ISO CAD Standard. For design firms doing international work, using the NCS can simplify the ISO-mandated task of preparing the layer naming system definition file that must accompany the project data files on every project.
There are valid reasons for both approaches. The prescriptive approach of the NCS relieves users of the task of developing and documenting field codes for every project. However, in order to accommodate all possible users, the list of prescribed NCS field codes must be comprehensive. By not prescribing field codes, ISO 13567 allows the ISO layer format to be applied uniformly without having to define all possible field codes in advance.
6.3 FIELD CODES AND LANGUAGE

By not prescribing field codes, ISO 13567 also allows the ISO layer format to be applied uniformly without regard to language. Users may, if they wish, develop codes endowed with language-specific meaning. Citing our earlier example, English users might use the field code "EQPM" to represent the [major building] element "equipment," while users in another language group might use another field code that has similar mnemonic association to the word for "equipment" in that language. While the field codes themselves might differ, the category of information contained in any given field is defined by the standard, facilitating translation of the actual content. In practice, ISO 13567 users tend to favor numeric codes to define the content of data fields. This eliminates any need to "translate" the field codes themselves. If, for example, the field code "720" is prescribed to mean "equipment," then only the definition, and not the code itself, would need to be translated. This eliminates the need for "translating" the actual file or layer name.
6.4 ISO 13567 CONFORMANCE

CAD data sets that adhere to ISO 13567 with respect to field names, field length, field definition and field order (as shown at right), and that are accompanied by the required layer naming system definition file, are defined by ISO to be in default conformance with the ISO standard. ISO 13567 anticipates that groups of users or national standards bodies might not only wish to prescribe a list of valid field codes (as the NCS has done), but might also wish to vary from the specified ISO layer format. 13567-3 is explicitly designed "to allow national standards bodies (or projects where agreement is reached between the parties) to implement layer naming conventions which satisfy the requirements of the [ISO] standard while using alternative and more convenient layer naming structures and codes." To permit this, ISO 13567-3 establishes rules for modifying the layer format itself. As with the field codes, users are required to fully document layer format modifications in the layer naming system definition file. CAD data sets that adhere to these rules are defined by ISO as being in conceptual conformance with the ISO standard, an approved alternative to default conformance. The rules for conceptual conformance specify that the mandatory data fields must always be used, but the order of all fields in the layer name (both mandatory and optional), the number of optional fields used, and the number of characters in Default ISO Layer Format (Mandatory Fields) A 1 B 2 1 0 _ Agent Responsible A 1 B 2 1 0 _ D N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C D N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C
[Building] Element A 1 B 2 1 0 _ D _ N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C Presentation (Optional Fields) A 1 B 2 1 0 _ D _ N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C Status A 1 B 2 1 0 _ D _ N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C Sector A 1 B 2 1 0 _ D _ N B 1 0 1 3 1 F R C Phase

each field can vary from the default ISO layer format. Additionally, the names of the fields can differ from the names specified, as long as the conceptual definition of each field conforms to the ISO standard. All modifications to the default layer format must be applied uniformly throughout the project. Layer names must all be of the same length, use the same set of mandatory and optional fields in the same order, and have the same number of characters per field. These rules allow data sets created in conceptual conformance with ISO 13567 to be mapped to the ISO 13567 default layer format. However, ISO does not require users to actually "map" or otherwise convert the data into the default layer format.

6.5 FIELD NAMES AND DEFINITIONS

Though the specified field names in the NCS layer format differ from the specified field names in the ISO layer format, the definitions of the field names are conceptually the same (with one important exception, discussed in the next paragraph below). This allows NCS-compliant data to meet the principal ISO 13567 criterion for conceptual conformance. The Field Name Comparison Table at right highlights additional rules that must be followed to create data that is in conformance with both the NCS and ISO 13567.
6.6 DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR" VS. "AGENT RESPONSIBLE"

The conceptual definitions of these corresponding field names in the NCS and ISO 13567 differ sufficiently to merit detailed discussion. The definition for Discipline Designator is defined in NCS as "the category of subject matter contained in the file or layer designated." In other words, if the information contained is "structural," the file or layer name will begin with the Discipline Designator "S," regardless of who created the data. ISO 13567 defines Agent Responsible as "the construction specialist responsible for the data." Regrettably, ISO 13567 does not further define the terms "construction specialist" and "responsible for." "Construction specialist" could be interpreted to mean "design professional," "design drafter," or even "skilled tradesperson or contractor." Though the text of ISO 13567 does not define which of these individuals is the "agent responsible," one can reasonably infer from the sample layer naming system definition file shown in Annex A of ISO 13567-3 that "construction specialist" is defined as the design professional.

Identifying the design professional as the "construction layer names, one Minor Group Field must be reserved for Annotation and specialist" still allows considerable room for interpretation of the the other for Drawing View. definition for "agent responsible." It could be interpreted to mean either "design professional who is professionally liable for the information by virtue of professional licensure and role on the project," or, alternatively, "design professional who is professionally liable for the information by virtue of having signed and sealed the document in question." An example is a lighting plan prepared under the supervision of, and signed and sealed by, the architect. Should the field code for this

drawing file or layer name be "E" or "A?" If the field code is "E," is the Electrical Engineer still the designated "Agent Responsible," and therefore professionally liable for data created by others not under his/her supervision? The burden of professional liability borne by design professionals is generally less in other countries than it is in the U.S. Perhaps for this reason, the issue of defining agent responsible more precisely with respect to professional liability did not arise when this field name was defined by ISO 13567. In the U.S., however, use of the imprecise ISO definition for agent responsible might possibly expose design professionals to professional liability for data over which they had no oversight.
6.8 "DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR" AND THE BUILDING LIFE CYCLE

The NCS definition for the field Discipline Designator was agreed-upon following considerable debate by the NCS Project Committee, and with the full understanding that it differed from the conceptual definition of the corresponding ISO 13567 field Agent Responsible. In addition to the liability issues cited above, it was the consensus of the Project Committee that the ability to identify the data by subject matter throughout the life-cycle of a building facility was ultimately more important than the identity of the person or persons who originally created the data.
6.9 "DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR" AND ISO 13567 CONFORMANCE

The difference in the conceptual definitions of Discipline Designator and Agent Responsible would seem to be an insurmountable obstacle to creating data in conformance with both the NCS and ISO 13567. This is not necessarily true. In most cases, the content of the fields Discipline Designator and Agent Responsible are one and the same, regardless of the definition. For example, if the subject matter contained in the drawing file or layer is "mechanical systems," the mechanical engineer is likely to be the design professional under whose supervision the data was created. Users who wish to produce data that is in conformance with the NCS and in conceptual conformance with ISO 13567 can do so by establishing a rule for their projects that data will be created only under the supervision of the design professional typically responsible for the subject matter. In this way, the conceptual definition for the data field can be BOTH "category of subject matter contained in the file or layer designated" AND "construction specialist responsible for the data." Implementation of this rule can help reduce the risk of professional liability by minimizing the likelihood of conflicts that might arise when different elements of the same building system are designed by more than one design professional.
6.10 FIELD CODE RESTRICTIONS

A key principal of the ISO 13567 layer format is that each data field can be used to define only one category of data. Duplicate use of a field is prohibited. This ensures that data sets in conceptual conformance can be readily mapped to the ISO default layer format. Adherence to this provision requires NCS users to restrict their use of certain NCS field codes. The NCS allows "ANNO" to be used as a Major Group, which allows all annotation to be placed in a defined group of layers. This results in a duplicate use of the Major Group field. The corresponding field in ISO, "Element," is reserved for major building elements. Therefore, the field code "ANNO" cannot be used at all CLG Figure 6.10-1. However, the prescribed annotation Minor Group field codes (TEXT, DIMS, etc.) can be used to modify any preceding Major/Minor Group, provided that the field in which they appear is reserved for annotation field codes. If Drawing View field codes are used CLG Figure 6.10-2, the Minor Group field in which they appear must likewise exclude any other field codes.

Page 92 of 94
If the Status field is used CLG Figure 6.10-3, the allowable field codes must be restricted to the specified letters (to correspond to the ISO field "Status") or to the specified numbers (to correspond to the ISO field "Phase") but not both. U.S. NCS Field Code Restrictions (for conceptual conformance to ISO 13567)
The field code "ANNO" may NOT be used, because "annotation" is not a major building "element:"
A I - A N N O - T E X T - N Major Group (Element)

The Annotation Minor Group field codes MAY be used, provided the field is reserved for these codes. Two allowable formats are shown:
A I - W A L L - T E X T - N (Presentation) Annotation A I - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N (Presentation) Annotation CLG Figure 6.10-1 - Annotation Field Codes
Two allowable formats for Drawing View field codes:
A I - W A L L - E L E V - N (Projection) Drawing View A I - W A L L - F U L L - E L E V - N (Projection) Drawing View CLG Figure 6.10-2 - Drawing View Field Codes
Two allowable formats for Status field codes.
A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - N (Status) Status A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2 (Phase) Status CLG Figure 6.10-3 - "Status" Field Codes
6.11 NCS AND ISO 13567 IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS

The examples shown here illustrate two possible NCS layer formats that are in conceptual conformance with ISO 13567. Note that ISO 13567 does not use dashes as field delimiters. For purposes of ISO conformance, the dashes in the NCS layer format are defined as an additional character of the field preceding it. Example NCS Layer Formats (in conceptual confomance to ISO 13567) A I - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N Level 2 Discipline Designator (Agent Responsible)
7/21/2011
Page 93 of 94
CLG Figure 6.11-1 shows the optional two-character NCS Level 2 Discipline Designator; together with the dash that follows it, this field is defined as three (3) characters in length. A Major and one Minor Group are defined as corresponding to the ISO field [Building] "Element." The field is ten (10) characters in length. The second Minor Group is reserved for Annotation field codes, corresponds to the ISO field "Presentation," and is five (5) characters in length. The final field is Status, which corresponds to the ISO field of the same name, and is one (1) character in length. CLG Figure 6.11-2 shows the NCS required Level 1 Discipline Designator only, and is defined as two (2) characters in length. The Major Group is defined as corresponding to the ISO field [Building] "Element," and is five (5) characters in length. The first Minor Group is reserved for Drawing View field codes, corresponds to the ISO field "Projection," and is five (5) characters in length. The second Minor Group is reserved for Annotation field codes, corresponds to the ISO field "Presentation," and is five (5) characters in length. The final field is reserved for Phase field codes, corresponds to the ISO field "Phase," and is one (1) character in length. Note that for ISO conformance, the total length of the layer name must be the same for all layers on a given project. Layer names that do not require a certain field, such as "Annotation," must use placeholders (usually dashes or underscores) to maintain the length of the layer name and the relative position of the fields.
A I - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N Major, Minor Group (Element) A I - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N (Presentation) Annotation A I - W A L L - F U L L - T E X T - N (Status) Status CLG Figure 6.11-1 A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2 Level 1 Discipline Designator (Agent Responsible) A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2 Major Group (Element) A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2 Drawing View (Projection) A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2 (Presentation) Annotation A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - 2
(Phase) Status While the ISO 13567 rules for conceptual conformance allow the fields to appear in any order, this is not permitted by the CLG Figure 6.11-2 NCS. The fields must be in the order of Discipline Designator, Major Group, Minor Group 1, Minor Group 2, Status. If a Minor Group field is used to modify the "building element" shown in the Major Group, that Minor Group must appear immediately following the Major Group.
6.12 NCS AND ISO 13567 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

The information in this Commentary is summarized in the following steps for preparing documents with layer names in conformance with the NCS and in conceptual conformance with ISO 13567. While these guidelines are intended to aid NCS users, adherence to these rules in some form would be required by ISO 13567 whether or not the NCS layer format were used. 1. Require that all documents be prepared only under the supervision of the design professional typically responsible for the subject matter contained in the documents. 2. Do not use the field code "ANNO" in any layer name. 3. Determine whether the Discipline Designator will be one character (Level 1) or two characters (Level 2) in length. 4. Determine whether the "building element" will consist of a Major Group only, or of a Major Group and one Minor Group. 5. Determine whether a Minor Group is to be reserved for Drawing View field codes, and fix its position in the sequence of fields. 6. Determine whether a Minor Group is to be reserved for Annotation field codes, and fix its position in the sequence of fields.

7. Note that only two Minor Groups are available. Of the three options described in 4, 5, and 6 above, only two can be exercised on a given project. 8. Determine whether to include the Status field in the layer name and whether to use the specified letters to denote "Status," or the specified numbers to denote "Phase." 9. For layer names in which one or more fields are not required, use placeholders (dashes or underscores) to maintain consistent layer name length and the relative positions of fields. Refer to CLG Figure 6.12-1.
Required Use of Placeholders (for conceptual conformance to ISO 13567) Layers in which reserved field codes are not used must have placeholders in the reserved fields. A - W A L L - E L E V - _ _ _ _ - N A - W A L L - E L E V - T E X T - N CLG Figure 6.12-1
10. Prepare a layer naming system definition file in accordance with ISO 13567-3 that defines the selected layer format for the project.
