Uniclass 2015 based dataset for ABD

We, Bentley, have been working on compiling an ABD dataset compatible with Uniclass 2015 for some time. The recent changes to the tables has provided an opportunity to carry out a sanity check and ask you users of ABD etc. for your opinion about this standard and how you would want to see it implemented within ABD.

We are particularly interested in your views about how to set up a layering system, what information you would expect to see predefined in the dataset and what you would expect to set your self. Please remember we also have to consider the relevant standards for CAD levels, object naming  etc.

Here is a link to the NBS website that has information about the Uniclass Standard.

 

If possible we would like you feedback as soon as possible, including examples and reasoning.

 

Many Thanks

  • Dominic and Eric,

    thanks you for your lengthy replies. I will need to pass most of these onto the developers for future consideration as they involve changes to the application before they can be implemented in any dataset.

    I do however need to draw Everyone back to the original question. Given the nature of the Uniclass 2015 system what are everyone thoughts about the organisational structure of the Level system we need to create. After all the 1192 standards required in the UK., specifies levels named in the format

    Discipline_classification_presentation-Description

    Do we try to use a single table?
    Do we need to use multiple tables?
    Will we use different tables during different phases of design e.g.( elements mainly during conceptual design being superseded by systems thereafter)

    This is a test

  • I guess I dont understand as each part would have a level
    Then the Uniformat would have a level by that Uniformat Category

    I'd wnat to know hte types of VIEWS I'd wnat to control levels for.

    Exterior Walls
    Interior Walls
    Roof, etc

    Ustn since 1988
