Synopsis

Must-have format guide to brand-new CSI/AIA drawing standards. Turn all your working drawings into the revolutionary 199 CSI/AIA approved Uniform Drawing Format with the help of this step-by-step manual--quickly, easily, and most of all accurately! The new standards promise to eliminate time- and energy-wasting inconsistencies, and Fred A. Sittt's Uniform Drawing Format Manual: How to Incorporate the New CAD Drawing Stnadards for Building Design will eliminate confusion converting to these new standards. This is the first-ever guide to these brand-new design standards--which are comparable in importance to the CSI Masterformat. Using the standards explained in this resource will help you prevent glitches and omissions that have plagued architects and engineers everywhere, expedite contractor bidding and construction, and bring long-needed simplification and clarity to drawings. The manual hands you hundreds of samples showing exactly how and where to introduce the new drawing conventions in your own work, from building elements to details, materials, systems, and products. Still even compares the new formats with other well-known systems in current use, giving you the means to choose the best format for any size project. But no matter which system you select, you'll finally move the production process from dangerous "ad hoc" design practices to a comprehensive system to be used in its entirety. With the help of this manual, you'll produce drawings that "speak the same language" to everyone involved in the project.
