Column Grid Setup
Column Grid Setup
(OP)
Is there a national standard for seting up grid lines? Does AIA have a standard?
Obviously, the setup differs from firm to firm. Some have letters horizontal, while others have numbers.
Either way, if horizontal and vertical are letters and numbers, then what is a skewed gridline? "AA", "BB", etc? Also, what is the annotation for Radial gridlines? "R1", "R2"???
I've got a project with perpendicular grids (normal X Y axes), skewed gird lines, and also some radial gridlines. Any suggestions?

In my opinion, it is up to you and your design team to decide how you approach the layout and labeling of grids.
As always.....keep it simple as possible.
RE: Column Grid Setup
I set up the grid lines with letters and numbers in the X Y and for the skewed, and used AA, BB, CC, etc for the rings of the radius, and 99, 98, 97, 96, etc for the radial lines from center point.
Each colum has a designation now, but wait until the project manager takes a look at it! (Darn architects!)
