Code of practice for construction computer-aided design – Part 1: Organisation and naming of CAD layers

OVERVIEW

This Singapore Standard establishes the general principles of layer structure within construction computer-aided design (CAD) files. It covers the organisation and allocation of layers that are used in CAD files for construction projects, and is intended to be used for communication and management purposes. A list of standard CAD layer element names is provided in this code.

The principles established in this code are applicable to all parties involved in preparing and using technical documentation on CAD systems. Although these principles are primarily for users, CAD system developers are expected to provide software tools capable of implementing and supporting this code. An important use is also to structure data in component libraries produced by third parties.

COMMENTS

This standard was first published in 2004. It was confirmed in 2015, 2020 and 2026 (with amendments). Amendments can be obtained from the Singapore Standards eShop.
