00:00.000 --> 00:07.600
This page includes the architectural abbreviations, symbols, sheet identification, material

00:07.600 --> 00:14.280
legend, general notes, and also the remaining sheet indexes from the previous page.

00:14.280 --> 00:17.160
So let's look at the abbreviations in this area.

00:17.160 --> 00:24.920
Each discipline typically provides an abbreviations list at the beginning of their set of documents.

00:24.920 --> 00:30.320
So these are the architectural abbreviations, structural would have theirs, and other

00:30.320 --> 00:32.040
disciplines would have theirs.

00:32.040 --> 00:40.640
So you can see that these are two to three to four character words like DWG for drawing,

00:40.640 --> 00:43.600
GYP for gypsum board.

00:43.600 --> 00:49.760
So again, different abbreviations that you will see used in a set of construction documents.

00:49.760 --> 00:55.600
Then we have the symbols legend, and we will be showing you these in action when we get

00:55.600 --> 00:57.480
to the appropriate drawings.

00:57.480 --> 01:03.080
But for example, typically there will be an indicator under the drawing that shows the

01:03.080 --> 01:09.840
name of the drawing, its position on the page, and the page on which it's located, and

01:09.840 --> 01:13.560
then also the scale of that drawing.

01:13.560 --> 01:20.160
This is the north arrow, so you can see there's a heavier line pointing up, site maps,

01:20.160 --> 01:26.160
civil engineering drawings, and most plans typically include a north arrow.

01:26.160 --> 01:30.640
We have the column designator, you'll notice when we get into the building that everything

01:30.640 --> 01:36.640
is going to be paired off of structural grids, and so grids have letters and numbers associated

01:36.640 --> 01:41.200
with them, so that would be the structural grid designator.

01:41.200 --> 01:46.360
And about the room numbers, where there's the name of the room, the room number included

01:46.360 --> 01:48.960
there.

01:48.960 --> 01:53.840
We have the designator for the building elevations, so you can see that there's a big

01:53.840 --> 01:59.360
hat, there would be a drawing number and a sheet number, so we will see these on the

01:59.360 --> 02:04.480
outsides of the building when we're looking at a plan, and so this will be the reference

02:04.480 --> 02:11.720
to say go look to image number one on page A4.3.

02:11.720 --> 02:16.880
We have interior elevation callouts, so you can see that there's one here that will

02:16.880 --> 02:21.120
point to four separate interior elevations.

02:21.120 --> 02:26.480
This would point to one interior elevation, and again it's saying go look at image one

02:26.480 --> 02:29.680
on sheet A3.4.

02:29.680 --> 02:35.400
We have a wall section indicator, so we have a big hat and a thickened poly line, and

02:35.400 --> 02:39.400
again we'll see all of these on the plans, but this would again be pointing to say go

02:39.400 --> 02:42.720
to page one on sheet A3.5.

02:42.720 --> 02:53.400
We have a revision cloud, we have the door number, a wall type designator, a building section,

02:53.400 --> 02:58.120
so the building section looks a lot like the wall section indicator except that we have

02:58.120 --> 03:04.160
two big hats, so we would have a line that connects the two big hats, and this would

03:04.160 --> 03:11.920
say go to image number AA on sheet A4.01, and the building section cut is happening

03:11.920 --> 03:21.160
right there, a fixture tag, a detail reference, door and window designators, elevation data

03:21.160 --> 03:25.920
and callouts, which are including the height of the ceiling.

03:25.920 --> 03:31.640
We also have spot elevations, we'll see those on the civil drawings, and then we have

03:31.640 --> 03:38.040
information about dimensioning, and we'll cover that in detail when we're on the plans.

03:38.040 --> 03:42.840
We have the sheet identification, this is much like what we went through on the previous

03:42.840 --> 03:49.720
page, again you can see professional discipline, a dash, the sheet number, again calling

03:49.760 --> 03:54.080
at the designator, and again these are right out of the national CAD standards as far as

03:54.080 --> 03:56.000
the discipline, nomenclatures.

03:56.000 --> 04:00.720
We have material legends, we will see these on reflected ceiling plans, we'll see them

04:00.720 --> 04:05.360
on elevations, we will have certain hatch patterns on the drawing that will be referencing

04:05.360 --> 04:11.240
to certain types of materials, so it's on this page that the overall listing is provided,

04:11.240 --> 04:15.000
and then we have the general notes.

04:15.000 --> 04:20.360
So we've just finished our abbreviated review of abbreviations, the symbol legends, sheet

04:20.360 --> 04:23.240
identification, material legends, and general notes.
