Structural Plans Standard Symbology
Structural Plans Standard Symbology
(OP)
Hello:
I have been placed in charge of coming up with standard symbology for plan sets within our company. Does anyone have a source of information that has a set format or rules/standards that symbols should like on plans.
Examples:
- what kind of hatching to use
- what should a shear wall look like in plan view
- what should a column symbol look like in plan view
- what does a wall marker refence pointer look like
- what does an anchor/hold down symbol look like.
Thanks.

Another source is the National CAD Standards.
The list you provide appears to be for wood structures. It has been my experience that many of these available standards do not have a decent library of drafting symbols especially for wood structures. I'd go with COEngineer's suggestion of looking at other companies' standards and adopt any good ideas.
If you are lucky enough to have a veteran drafter who started his career before AutoCAD was around, get his opinions on the visual.
