Category: B. Generic Standards

  • B02.01. Models

    All models shall follow NLA coding for .rvt files:

    Code_Phase_(Zone)(Block)_Discipline_ProjectVersion               

    Example:

    320_DT_02A_ARC_01R.rvt

    NomenclatureExampleDescription
    Code320Corresponds to the number of the project code
    PhaseDTCorresponds to the phase of the project that the files represent (ex. Licensing; Execution; etc.)
    Zone02Corresponds to the zone of the project
    BlockACorresponds to the Block ID inside the project
    DisciplineARCCorresponds to the discipline
    Version01RCorresponds to the version of the project

    In the file designation, these parameters must be indicated without any separating characters between them, other than underscore (_), and the parameters Code and Phase must always be indicated. Zone and Block shall be used only if necessary.

    When a new phase begins, the file must be copied and renamed according to the coding rule, with the new phase abbreviation, and stored in the proper folder.
    If for some reason it is necessary to save a backup version of the file, it must be stored in the folder “04_Old” outside “03_Work”.

  • B01.01. Font

    The official NLA font is “Arial Narrow”. It is already defined in NLA`s template and it must not be changed. This font should also be used in all written documents, even those not produced in Revit.
