1.0 The Basics

1.1 Purpose

The PBS Standard for CAD Deliverables is for contractors, customers, and associates. It sets mandatory, PBS-wide procedures for Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings and assignment plans.

Adherence to the Standard allows for the intelligence contained within the drawings to be readily transferred to the data systems used by PBS to conduct its business. Differing regional requirements are accommodated by the addition of Regional Supplements.

These procedures conform to the principles set forth in the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) U.S. National CAD Standard. This standard consists of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) CAD Layer Guidelines, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Uniform Drawing System (UDS), and the Tri-Service and the U.S. Coast Guard Plotting Guidelines.

Drawing templates and information files are available for download at www.gsa.gov/cifm.

1.2 Applicability

These standards are applicable to all PBS drawing types for all PBS facilities in all regions.

There are two major categories of PBS drawings. These are project drawings and facility drawings.

1.2.1 Drawing Types

Project drawings are created for a specific project (whether it be construction or tenant build out) that has a definitive beginning and end. Design intent drawings would fall under the category of project drawings. Once the project is complete, the drawings are updated to reflect as-built conditions and to incorporate amendments and change orders. However, the drawings themselves are a record of past events essentially becoming history. Portions of project drawings may be used to update facility drawings.

Facility drawings reflect the current condition of a building or facility, and by their very nature are living documents that are continually updated. “Intelligent” facility drawings are the primary means of transferring facility data into PBS computer integrated applications such as CAFM and CMMS.

Assignment drawings are a specific type of facility drawing conveying occupancy information. When PBS requests submission of assignment drawings and data, contractors must follow the direction given by the PBS Assignment Drawing Guidance.

1.2.2 Deviations

No deviations are allowed unless approved by the Regional CIFM Manager. The contractor shall submit a Written Deviation Request and maintain a record of all approved deviations and include them with the final submittal. See Section 5.0 Files for Download.

1.3 Accuracy

Contractors are responsible for the accuracy of all CAD drawings delivered to PBS. For all drawing entities all lines meet at intersections, straight lines are straight, and blocks are inserted properly without overlap. PBS may provide contractors with existing CAD drawings for convenience, however, these drawings shall be used as a base reference only. Unless otherwise specified by the contracting documents, the contractor is responsible for field verification of existing conditions, and ensuring that all electronic documents submitted comply with standards.

http://www.gsa.gov/cifm

1.4 Ownership

The Government, for itself and such others as it deems appropriate, will have unlimited rights to all information and materials developed under this contract and furnished to the Government. This includes any documentation thereof, reports and listings, and all other items pertaining to the work and services pursuant to this agreement including any copyright. Unlimited rights under this contract are rights to use, duplicate, or disclose data and information, in whole or in part, in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever without compensations to or approval from the Contractor. The Government will, at all reasonable times, have the right to inspect the work and will have access to and the right to make copies of the above-mentioned items. All digital files, associated data, and other products generated under the contract shall become the property of the Government.

1.5 Dissemination of Sensitive Documents

GSA and the Federal Government are concerned with the safety and security of persons and property under their control. The contractor should ensure that reasonable care is provided to protect sensitive information, both in paper and electronic format, regarding building drawings and specifications for design, construction and/or renovation, security equipment and installation, and contract guard information related to GSA-controlled facilities from being used for illegal purposes.

1.5.1 Sheet File Security Imprint

All building plans, drawings, and specifications prepared for construction or renovation, and/or security services, either in electronic or paper formats, shall have included on each sheet file of the construction drawings or plans in a minimum of 14 point bold face type (3 mm or about 1/8”):

PROPERTY OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Do not remove this notice Properly destroy documents when no longer needed

1.5.2 Cover Sheet Security Imprint

The following paragraph will be noted on the cover page of all drawing sets and on the cover page of the specifications in a minimum of 14 point bold face type (3 mm or about 1/8”):

PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

COPYING, DISSEMINATION, OR DISTRIBUTION OF THESE DRAWINGS, PLANS,

OR SPECIFICATIONS TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS IS PROHIBITED

Do not remove this notice

Properly destroy documents when no longer needed

1.6 File Formats

1.6.1 Drawings

All drawings shall be readable by the AutoCAD version specified by each region, and shall be *.DWG files. Being “readable” is constituted by the ability to open a file without any errors, such as proxy, font substitution, xref resolution, etc., and the objects, layers, etc. in the file remaining intact. AEC software using object technology must comply with the Standard for PBS CAD Deliverables.

The contractor shall be responsible for software and data upgrades throughout the contract lifecycle.

The contractor will consult with the Regional CIFM Program Manager to confirm software versions prior to all submissions.

1.6.2 Other Formats

Word Processor documents shall be Microsoft Word files. Macros may be included with these documents provided they are virus free, their function is explained next to the code, and are not write-protected.

Spreadsheet documents shall be Microsoft Excel files.

Graphics may be submitted in *.TIF, *.GIF, *.JPG, *.CALS, *.PDF or *.BMP file format only. This option is intended for photos, conceptual sketches, etc., and not as an indication that raster file drawings will be accepted in lieu of AutoCAD files.

When a hard copy drawing in the drawing set includes photographs or other images the electronic file submission shall include a corresponding AutoCAD *.DWG sheet file containing these raster images as xrefs or embedded files.

Project Management Schedule documents shall be Microsoft Project files or P3 Primavera files as specified by each region. Project files shall be saved with a baseline.

Deliverables integrating multiple file formats may be sumitted in *.PDF file format (to maintain formatting) in addition to the base file structure. Examples include reports, photographs, and manuals created by using a variety of software packages and file formats.

1.6.3 Third Party Software

A written request must be submitted to GSA and permission granted in order to submit electronic data in a format other than those specifically named above. This includes AutoCAD add-on applications that leave non-native objects in drawings and AutoCAD-integrated applications, such as Architectural Desktop. When it is considered in the best interest of the Government, the Contracting Officer may permit third party software. Any third party software used that modifies or creates layers in AutoCAD shall adhere to the AIA CAD Layering Guidelines.

2.0 Basic Organizing Concepts for Deliverables

2.1 File Types

PBS requires two types of CAD deliverable files: model and sheet files. PBS also provides prototype files.

2.1.1 Model Files

Model files represent the building’s physical layout and components such as floor plans, elevations, details, schematic diagrams, etc. each requiring its own separate model file. Model files are drawn full size in model space with the exception of schematic diagrams, which can be at any scale. While most buildings are depicted by a series of 2D models, model files may contain 3D information.

Model files include an attribute block, provided by PBS, that describes the content of the model file.

The attribute block is inserted on layer G-ANNO-TTLB at 0,0,0 in paper space.

2.1.2 Sheet Files

Sheet files are used to assemble model files for plotting and viewing purposes. Every sheet file has a drawing area, title block, and border and represents one plotted drawing. Sheet files shall be assembled in paper space, and set up to be plotted at 1” = 1” scale (plotscale=1). In AutoCAD, separate layout tabs may be used for plotting different sizes of the same drawing within the same sheet file.

The typical multiple file approach using model and sheet files is illustrated below.

Model files are externally referenced into the sheet file’s model space. For the purposes of consistency and minimizing data entry PBS has developed a title block template. Use of the provided title block (see section 5.0) is required unless indicated by the Regional Supplements.

2.1.3 Prototype Files

PBS provides various prototypes for contractor use. See Section 5.0 Files for Download.

Drawing Assembly Diagram

The base model file is externally referenced into the discipline specific model file (if applicable) at full size in model space. The discipline specific model file is externally referenced into the sheet file at full size in model space. Viewport(s) are drawn in paper space. The drawing content is scaled through the viewport(s) and plotted at 1:1.

2.2 File Names

The U.S. National CAD Standard Version 2.0 allows the use of a hyphen or underscore as a place holder in file names, PBS allows only an underscore to facilitate data transfer to other PBS systems.

2.2.1 Model Files

Model file names consist of a discipline designator and underscore, followed by a two-letter model file type, followed by a two-character floor number. Use of a two-character user definable field is optional. An example of a model file name, A_FP01 is the first floor architectural plan.

Detail file names consist of a discipline designator, followed by a two-letter model file type, followed by a three-character user definable field. A_DTSIL is the sill detail in the architectural plan.

Note 1: if more than one, use increment number on mezzanines, penthouses, parking, and basements.

Note 2: floor number may not apply to all drawings, especially details.

2.2.3 Sheet Files

Sheet file names consist of the discipline designator, either a single character with underscore (Level

1) or two character (Level 2); followed by the sheet type designator, followed by the sheet sequence number; usually a two-character field starting at 01 and continuing through 99. Use of a three-character user definable field is optional.

Sheet sequence number User definable

Within the two character discipline designator, the first character is the discipline character and the second is the modifier. The modifier is used to subdivide the information for a specific use or purpose, such as project complexity, or need for specialization in intricate fields. For example AD101 would be the first architectural demolition plan in the set.

2.3 Drawing Files

2.3.1 Layer names

PBS has adopted AIA layer naming conventions. The AIA CAD Layer Guidelines, U.S. National CAD Standard Version 2.0 contains the AIA master layer list that contractors must follow. To order hard copies, refer to 1.7.2 Addresses of Referenced Organizations. PBS has developed electronic templates with the most common layers for each discipline (see Section 5.0 Files for Download).

These templates are available at www.gsa.gov/cifm.

Layer names consist of the discipline designator, followed by the major group designator indicating the building system, followed by an optional single character status designator. A four-character minor group designator may be added to further define the major group. For clarity there may be multiple minor group fields. For example, A-WALL-FULL-E would be the layer full height architectural wall existing to remain.

Discipline designator

Major group Minor group

Status

E - LLUF- LLA W - A

The AIA master layer list allows different layer names for the same information such as A-COLS, I- COLS, and S-COLS. PBS does not allow the use of duplicate names preferring that the information be placed on the layer of the discipline responsible for the information. For example, columns should always be placed on the structural layer (S-COLS), lighting should always be placed on the electrical layer (E-LITE), and plumbing fixtures should always be placed on the plumbing layer (P-FIXT).

Additional layers may be may be required for specified projects.

2.3.2 Status Field Code

N New work E Existing to remain D Existing to demolish T Temporary work M Items to be moved R Relocated items V Survey Mapping X Not in contract 1-9 Phase numbers

2.3.3 Additional Drawing Requirements

Attributes. Attributes may be used to store data in the drawing. Do not use attributes to store large amounts of data (greater than 10% of drawing size) or types of data that are better stored in external databases. PBS requires the use of an attributed title block and a model file attributed block to store descriptive data about the drawings, see title blocks.

Blocks. Any graphic entity that occurs repeatedly in drawings should be made into a block. Attributes contained within a block should pertain to the current project. Insertion points for each block shall be consistent with its placement in the drawing. Use logical insertion points such as the center of a circle, bottom left corner of an object, etc. Keep names simple and descriptive. Purge all unused blocks from the drawing. Nested blocks are permitted but should be avoided whenever possible. If nested blocks are used, they must be documented on the Project and Drawing Documentation form (see Section 3 Deliverable Requirements). Draw objects used to create blocks on layer 0 so the block inherits the properties of the layer on which it is inserted. Do not insert blocks on layer 0 (zero).

When submitting drawings no objects will be on layer 0 (zero) unless otherwise specified.

Color and pen assignments. AutoCAD R14 or earlier versions use layer colors to control pen assignments, which correspond to line width in plotted drawings. For AutoCAD R2000 entity line weights shall be assigned by layer. Supplemental requirements may specify line weights for particular layers. Select layer colors in accordance with the Pen Table in Section 3.4.1.

Dimensioning. All dimensions shall update automatically when the distance they are measuring changes. Metric dimensions shall conform to Metric Design Guide or M2: Metric Design Guide, Third Edition. General information on metrification can be found in the Metric Guide for Federal Construction. All three publications are available through NIBS.

Drawing limits. Do not set the limits any larger than necessary to accommodate the drawing. No entities shall be located outside the drawing limits.

Drawing origin. Organize drawings in model space so that the lower left intersection of the outermost column lines that remain constant on most floors is placed at 0,0,0. In order to ensure proper insertion of xrefs and the stacking of floor plans, the origin point for an entire building must be consistent between model files. Once the origin is established, it cannot be changed. For sheet files, place the lower left corner of the sheet at 0,0,0.

Graphic standards. Drawing standards and symbology shall be in accordance with the AIA Architectural Graphic Standards. The U.S. National CAD Standard is also a good reference for drawing symbols, details, and guidelines.

Hatching. Do not use polylines with increased width for poché or hatching. All hatching shall be associative.

Key Plan. G-PLAN is the layer on which the key site plan should be drawn.

Layers. Follow the AIA CAD Layer Guidelines, U.S. National CAD Standard Version 2.0.

Layer colors. The Layer Color used in AutoCAD R14 and earlier versions controlled pen assignments and line width in plot files. In AutoCAD 2000 line weights shall be assigned by layer. Entities shall conform to control by Layer.

Linetypes. Contour lines, dashed lines, and other fonted lines shall be made of one continuous line segment, not a series of separate line segments. If linetypes other than standard AutoCAD linetypes are used the *.LIN file must be provided with the submission. Section 5.0 Files for Download includes a *.LIN file for use. Use of toned or pochéd lines are acceptable for distinguishing between various types of work, such as new from existing, phase 1 from phase 2, or background floor plans.

Curved entities such as circles, arcs, and ellipses shall be created of one continuous line segment, the exception being entities that have to be physically constructed in a segmented fashion. These may be segmented to represent the joints in the actual construction.

Lineweights. To assign lineweights in AutoCAD 2000 and later, assign lineweights to layers. In the layer properties dialog box, select the lineweight of a layer, then select the lineweight to be used for all entities on that layer.

Scale. Create drawing entities at full size. For example, a 100-foot wall will be drawn to 100 feet and a 36-inch column will be drawn to 36 inches. Drawings considered schematic in nature can be drawn to any scale. Some examples of schematic drawings are schedules, riser diagrams, schematic diagrams, and single line diagrams.

Plan drawings. Create a separate model file for each drawing. Use sheet files to combine floor plans with non-plan information or multiple elevations. Do not combine several drawings such as elevations, sections, and details in one model file. When a floor plan is too large to fit on a single sheet at the desired scale use viewports in separate sheet files to show portions of the floor. DO NOT create individual model files for portions of a floor. For sheet sizes see Section 3.2.1.

Title Blocks. PBS requires the use of a standardized, attributed title block for each sheet file. PBS also requires a standardized, attributed block in all model files. Templates, blocks, and instructions are listed in Section 5.0 Files for Download and are available at www.gsa.gov/cifm.

Text and fonts. Use only standard AutoCAD or approved True Type fonts. The text syles.doc contains a list of acceptable fonts. The minimum plotted text size for all full size drawings shall be 3/32”. For clarity and presentation purposes it may be necessary to use other text sizes.

Units. Metric units shall be the standard system of measurement for new facilities unless otherwise specified. Imperial units may be used for projects in existing buildings when existing drawings are Imperial. Project scope of work will specify use of Imperial or metric units. Base units for metric shall be millimeters; for imperial use inches.

Xrefs. AutoCAD term for external reference. Xrefs help to organize drawing information, enhance coordination, and minimize redundant data. The xref path shall not include drives or directory designations and the xref is placed on layer G-ANNO-REFR. Document the relationship between drawing file and xref on the project documentation report and deliverables matrix. See Section 4.4 Project Documentation.
