Demolition drawing example?

[br0604bom]

does anyone have an example of a demolitions drawing for an average sized building, showing interior partitions strip out that they could show me please, not sure if I have got it right and I am not sure how many other ways there are to show it,

 

I am mainly looking for different linetypes and legend with symbols

 

many thanks to anyone who has an example

Usually just set it to a thin lineweight with a linetype set to HIDDEN2. Keyed notes can suffice for further information about a specific demo section in the plan.

Linewidths may not show entirely correct on the pdf but it will give you an idea.

thank you very much stykface and rkent,

 

so the lines indicating demolition are always dotted, yes?

"Dashed" would be a better term, but yes you are correct.

Setting demolition lineweights to heavier than "existing to remain" is a good way to have the demo stuff "pop" similar to the way you would show new walls.

There are no absolutes and other companies use other methods to show demolition. A previous employer required that we draw a closed polyline around the walls and then cross hatch inside that . As long as it is obvious to the contractor what you want done it doesn't matter the method settled on.

I agree with Rob on this one. We always show items to be demolished as very heavy lines so the contractor will be able to see exactly what we want removed. We want these items to really stand out because we have learned that contractors don't always pay attention to the notes. So we make sure to draw their attention to the things they need to focus on.

I wonder if this rings true in every industry. In tradeshow, we have to do electrical and rigging plans for the show floor. It never fails something ends up going wrong because the labor on the floor did not read the notes. My current standard has important notes in text with a header that is 3/8" (To draw attention) with the rest at 3/16", and they STILL get ignored on a regular basis.

It happens everywhere. I had a piping foreman call me and my boss to explain how he was supposed to build this new fangled way I had designed to fit a standard layout into a smaller space.

 

I went to the plan view drawing and pointed to the section bubble, then flipped to the page referenced in the bubble. I pointed to the section and subsequent details on that page.

 

He looked at me and said "well how was I supposed to know that page was in here?"

 

Now if a piping foreman doesn't know about section bubbles and if he doesn't go through the drawings before starting I am not sure if there is any hope.

Glad you mentioned that, I had vague recollections of doing that a very long time ago, but after looking for the drawing and not finding it I thought I was cracking up!!:-)
