Hi, I am looking for the best ways to create a standard for all my architectural drawings namely I want to have layers set for columns, beams, wall, floor, roof, doors, windows ... to name but a few, also I want to set within the layer the object color, line type, line thickness and so on and if possible which object is on top and which is at the bottom. Moreover, the walls can be 200mm or 150 mm thick, the columns are 200x200 or 150x150 and sometimes 150x200 and the slab is 125mm/150mm to name but a new of the possible configuration. However, I don't want to follow an arbitrary naming, coloring or line type system. It will be best if I can follow a set standard (Example BS) that is recognized by architectural firms. Drawing Scales are usually 1:50, 1:75, 1:100 and 1:125 and on A4 paper. Can anybody provide me with a standardized listing of architectural entities properties such as name, color, hatch and so forth. Also, what is the best procedure to follow in terms of LTSCALE with respect to layer settings. Regards, Nicolas.
