NCS Basics - Modular sheet numbering system

Simplified version from AU presentation several years ago. Sample overview of modular sheet ID system based on the NCS which can be applied to projects large or small. This focuses on Revit as a platform but can be extended to CAD and Navigator. The system uses natural sorting within disciplines to maintain sheet order with placeholders for certain key elements not directly addressed by the NCS. This modular system is adaptable to fit both large and small projects. Modules allow for direct cross-pollination and re-use of content with other projects to provide a jump start for Units or other modular components from the library. Each Unit link contains options and variations for that unit which may include FHA, ADA, SoCal, or municipalities; or linked in standardized Kitchens, bathrooms, or other smaller modules for assembly. This content is "ready to go" pre-setup on sheets, ready for printing. Additional content, modifications or revisions is returned and updated throug...

Revision traingles in revit schedules

  Summary Revision symbols ILO numbers in the revision sets for clients that require the symbols in the revision schedule.  Triangles and numbers embedded as symbols in the Arial MS Unicode font: Delta symbols for revision schedules and schedules embedded in the circle number representations of the Arial MS Unicode font. The first image shows the UNICODE ID for the symbols: Second image shows the Corresponding "Basic" symbol replaced by the triangles: NOTE: The 1-20 numbers are slightly smaller than the typical and were shifted down to the baseline to eliminate the font clipping when tops exceeded the upper limit of the font. Revit revision sequence: Arial Unicode MS ①,②,③,④,⑤,⑥,⑦,⑧,⑨,⑩,⑪,⑫,⑬,⑭,⑮,⑯,⑰,⑱,⑲,⑳ Arial Unicode MS+DeltaOverlap *Shows like above with font installed. ①,②,③,④,⑤,⑥,⑦,⑧,⑨,⑩,⑪,⑫,⑬,⑭,⑮,⑯,⑰,⑱,⑲,⑳   Typing in Un...
