Standard parts
The standard is divided into three parts: *ISO 13567-1:2017 **Technical product documentation — Organization and naming of layers for CAD — Part 1: Overview and principles *ISO 13567-2:2017 **Technical product documentation — Organization and naming of layers for CAD — Part 2: Concepts, format and codes used in construction documentation *ISO/TR 13567-3:1999 (withdrawn September 2015) **Technical product documentation — Organization and naming of layers for CAD — Part 3: Application of ISO 13567-1 and ISO 13567-2 Standard has been developed by Technical Committee TC 10 (Technical product documentation) Subcommittee SC 8 (Construction documentation); Refer. ICS: 01.110; 35.240.10.Structure of layer names
CAD layer names are structured as a series of mandatory and optional fixed length fields, composed as a continuous alpha-numerical text string.Mandatory fields
;Agent responsible (clause 6.1): (2 characters, indicating the person or organisation responsible for the layer information—manufacturer, A- architect A2 architect#2 on the same project B- building surveyors C- civil engineers E- electrical engineers F- facility engineers G- GIS engineers and land surveyors H- heating and ventilating engineers I- interior designers L- landscape architects Q- quantity surveyors S- structural engineers T- town and country planners W- contractors X- sub-contractors Y- specialist designers ;Element (clause 6.2): (6 characters, indicating the functional parts of construction works or structure): follows a classification system like SfB building codes orOptional fields
;Status (clause 7.1) (1 character, status of the physical part, ISO code) - whole, no subdivision N new part E existing to remain R to be removed T temporary O to be moved original position F to be moved final position ;Sector (clause 7.2) (4 characters, physical subdivision of construction work, recommended to use ISO 4157-2/3 codes) ---- whole project, all levels all blocks 00—ground floor 02–2nd floor -1-- basement SA—section AA EA—elevation A EB—elevation B --B1 block 1 --A- zone A 01B1 1st floor block#1 -2-- 2nd basement level 01A- storey 01 zone A ;Phase (clause 7.3) (1 character, time or logical subdivision of work) - whole duration P pre-design/preliminary D design R procurement C construction O post-construction 1 phase#1 (pre-design) 2 phase#2 3 phase#3 (licence design) ;Projection (clause 7.4) (1 character, work multiple views differentiation, ISO code) - all 0 plan 1 elevation 2 section 3 3D model ;Scale (clause 7.5) (1 character, classification of layer information by the scale of final drawing, ISO code) - all A 1:1 B 1:5 C 1:10 D 1:20 E 1:50 F 1:100 G 1:200 H 1:500 I 1:1000 J 1:2000 K 1:5000 1 1:1-5 2 1:5-20 3 1:20-50 4 1:50-100 5 1:100-200 6 1:200-500 7 1:500-1000 ;Work Package (clause 7.6) (2 characters, materials and/or work sections) RC reinforced concrete SS structural steel 23 phase#23 ;User Defined (clause 7.7) (unlimited, additional subdivision or help plain description): description or subdivision.Special characters
- (hyphenation)Used for all possible values of a specific character position. For no further subdivision use the hyphen character BE_EN_ISO_13567-2:2017 5.2 Coding Conventions _ (underscore) Where a field is not being used or a decision has not been madeApplications
Resulting length
In practice, application of ISO 13567 fields can lead to short names (only mandatory fields), or much longer names (use of some or all optional fields in complex projects).Short name samples
