Foreword
This Code of Practice was prepared by the Technical Committee on Construction Industry IT
Standards under the direction of the Information Technology (IT) Standards Committee.
This code was prepared with reference to the following publications:
1. ISO 13567: 1998 Technical product documentation – Organisation and naming of layers
for CAD, Part 1 : Overview and principles
2. ISO 13567: 1998 Technical product documentation – Organisation and naming of layers
for CAD, Part 2 : Concepts, format and codes used in construction
documentation
Acknowledgement is made for the use of information from the above references.
Current users of CP 83 include architects, professional engineers - C&S and M&E, as well as
contractors who participate in Electronic Submission. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and
the Building Construction Authority (BCA) have adopted the CAD layers for Electronic Development
Application (EDA) and Electronic Submission System (eSS) respectively.
CAD vendors have developed software tools that can implement and support CP 83. BCA has been
conducting hands-on training on CP 83 and the software application on various CAD platforms.
The revision of CP 83: Part 1 CAD layer names, is required in order to streamline industry practices
for building projects as well as infrastructure projects such as the Mass Rapid Transport extensions
which include architectural, civil and structural as well as mechanical and electrical works. The
revised list of main and sub elements gives the users flexibility to combine the main and sub-elements
based on their requirements.
The major changes are as follows:
Table 2 – Additional codes for originator field;

Table 4 – Additional codes for first character of presentation field;
Table 5 – Additional codes for second character of presentation field;
Figure 2 – Examples of layer name structure – Mandatory and optional fields;
Annex A – Revised list of main elements in alphabetical order;
Annex B – Revised list of recommended sub-elements in alphabetical order;
Annex C – Deletion of mapping of elements in CP 80.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Singapore Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. SPRING Singapore shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all of
such patent rights.
NOTE
1. Singapore Standards are subject to periodic review to keep abreast of technological changes and new
technical developments. The changes in Singapore Standards are documented through the issue of either
amendments or revisions.
2. Compliance with a Singapore Standard does not exempt users from legal obligations.

CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
Code of practice for construction computer-aided design (CAD)

Part 1 – Organisation and naming of CAD layers
1 Scope
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.
2 Purpose
The purpose of this code is to establish uniformity in the organisation and naming of CAD layers for
the construction industry in Singapore.
3 Definitions
For the purposes of this code, the following definitions shall apply.
3.1 Layer
Organisational attribute of entities in CAD files, used to separate data in order to manage and
communicate those data, to control visibility on the computer screen and on plotted drawings.
NOTE – In CAD systems, synonyms for “layer” are used, for example “level.”
3.2 CAD model
Structured CAD data file(s) organised according to the physical parts of the objects represented, for
example, a building or a mechanical device.
NOTE – Models can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and can include graphical as well as non-
graphical data attached to the objects.
3.3 CAD drawing
Selected parts of a CAD model as presented on screen or on paper.
NOTE – Visibility on the drawing can be controlled by views and layers. The drawing can contain additional
graphics, such as borderlines, title-block and legends. CAD drawings can also be produced independently without
an underlying CAD model (a drawing-oriented approach as opposed to the model-oriented approach).
3.4 Plot
Graphic image created by a numerically controlled draughting machine and presented on draughting
media.
7
CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
3.5 Wildcard
A special character used to match any character or group of characters in a string comparison.
3.6 Layer name sub-classification
The following concepts are used in the layer name. An independent classification can be applied to
each concept.
3.6.1 Originator
The originator refers to the individual/company/organisation responsible for preparation and creation
of information on the CAD layer.
3.6.2 Element
An element is a classified construction work or system. It consists of two levels of classifications,

namely, main element and sub-element.
3.6.3 Main element
Main element is the first level of element classification. It represents the different types of main
construction works or systems.
3.6.4 Sub-element
Sub-element is the second level of element classification. It represents the various sub-systems
within the main element.
3.6.5 Presentation
Presentation is the format or type of information presented in CAD drawings. It is related primarily to
the graphic appearance on screen and paper, as against element information, which is related to
construction work or system.
3.6.6 Status
Status defines whether the element in addition-and-alteration works is new, for retention or demolition etc.
3.6.7 User-defined
User-defined is an additional information field, which the user may wish to use for further subdivision
of layers or provide a description not covered under this Singapore Standard.
4 Concepts, format and codes used in construction documentation
4.1 General
When CAD data is transferred between different systems and organisations, their structure needs to
be understood for identification of the source of the CAD data, selection to suit the needs of different
specialists and management of the data.
Layering is a commonly used technique to achieve such an organisation of CAD data. Layers are
given unique names so that they can be selectively viewed and plotted. CAD layers need to be
structured based on clear and logical organisation of information that fulfils the functional
requirements of the information users. The organisation of these information can be achieved
through the use of classifications of information in different parts of the layer name.
8
CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
The following concepts, categories, format and codes shall be used to allocate layers on construction
projects for the purposes of communication, management and submission to approving agencies.
Those involved in any project shall agree on the selection of the layers and codes to be used and how
the data will be transferred between their CAD systems.
All characters used in the layer names shall be both human- and machine-readable wherever
possible. A layer format with fixed number of characters is used to allow selection of layers by the
use of wildcard. Where reserved codes are given, they shall be used only for the purpose specified.
Other project-specific codes may also be used.
Layer names are divided into fields. Each field holds one concept. Fields are either mandatory or
optional. Mandatory fields shall always be included in the layer names. Optional fields can be used
as required in each project. The order of fields in a layer name and the number of characters for each
field shall be maintained as defined in this code unless an alternative is specifically agreed by the
project partners. However, the alternative adopted shall be documented in a way that future retrieval
of the layer-structured information can be ensured.
4.2 Format of layer name
A layer name consists of the following five fields as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 – Description of fields in a layer name
Name of field Description of field Number of

characters
Originator Individual/company/organisation responsible for 2
preparation and creation of information
Element Main Main element classification 4
Sub* Sub-element classification 4

dimension, or text
Status* Status of the construction work, e.g. alterations, to be 1
removed, or existing installations (optional)
User-defined* User-defined code for in-house applications (optional) -
The above five fields of a CAD layer name are to be arranged in the format as shown in Figure 1.
Originator Element Presentation* Status* User-defined*

Main Sub*
_ _ _ _
Figure 1 – Layer name format
(NOTE: * - Optional field)
4.3 Coding conventions
4.3.1 The first two fields, namely originator and element shall always be used.
4.3.2 The underscore character “_” is used between fields to enhance readability.
9
CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
4.3.3 For indication of no further subdivision of the information, hyphens shall be used to fill out to
the end of the field.
4.3.4 Alphanumeric characters allowed are the letters A - Z, the digits 0 - 9, in addition to the
hyphen and underscore characters.
4.3.5 All fields are left justified.
4.3.6 Unused trailing characters in a mandatory field shall be represented by the hyphen "-"
character.
4.3.7 Unused trailing fields in optional part of the layer name can be omitted.
4.4 Layer name fields
4.4.1 Originator field
This field indicates the discipline of an individual/company/organisation responsible for the

preparation and creation of information in the CAD layer. Since there is a multitude of possible
classifications, depending on the type and organisation of the project at hand, two (2) alphanumeric
characters are used for this field.
4.4.1.1 First character
This first character is a single alphabet code in capital letter to abbreviate the discipline of the
originator of the layer. The list of possible originator codes is as shown in Table 2.
Table 2 – Codes for originator field
Code Originator description

A Architect
C Civil engineer
D Interior designer
E Electrical engineer
L Land surveyor
M Mechanical engineer
Q Equipment supplier
P Master planner
R Regulatory authority
S Structural engineer
T Telecommunication/Signal engineer
V Other disciplines
X Contractor
Additional originator codes may be used internally within an organisation or project to denote other
disciplines not included in Table 2.
10
CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
4.4.1.2 Second character
The second character provides further definition of the originator whenever necessary. Example: AL
to denote Landscape Architect. If the first character is sufficient to define the originator of the layer, a
hyphen "-" shall be used as the second character of this field. Example: A- for architect and S- for
structural engineer.
This second alphanumeric character can also be used to denote different originators from the same
discipline involved in the same project. Example: A1 and A2 represent two different architects working
on the same project.
4.4.2 Element field
This field indicates the type of construction work or system of the element in the layer. Classification
for the construction elements or systems is in the form of eight (8) letters of the alphabet. This
element field has two levels of classification, namely, the main and sub-elements.
4.4.2.1 Main element
The main element consists of four (4) letters of the alphabet and is mandatory. It identifies the main
construction work or system of the element.
4.4.2.2 Sub-element
The sub-element consists of four (4) letters of the alphabet and is only used for further classification
of the main element. For elements where classification using the main element is sufficient, the sub-
element may be coded with four (4) hyphen characters "- - - -".
Table 3 shows some examples of classification in element field.
Table 3 – Examples of classification of element field
Name of element Description of elements

Main Sub
STRC ---- Staircases
STRC HANR Handrails of staircases
WALL ---- Walls
WALL FIRE Fire rated walls
Standard main element names defined based on this classification are provided in the annexes of this
code. Element names are arranged in alphabetical order in Annex A. To achieve consistency in the
construction industry, users shall make use of the main element names provided in the annexes
wherever applicable.
Recommended sub-element names are provided in Annex B. They are grouped under their
respective main element. To achieve consistency in the construction industry, users should make
use of the sub-element names provided in Annex B wherever applicable.
Users may generate element names that are not in the list of standard elements provided in the
annexes of this code for their internal use. However, these user-defined layers shall be properly
documented and communicated among the parties involved in the project. While there is no fixed
rules in arriving at the 4-character abbreviation for the main and sub-elements, the general rule is to
truncate the vowels and try to maintain the first and last characters.
11
CP 83 : Part 1 : 2004
4.4.3 Presentation field
The Presentation field represents the format or type of information presented and is denoted by one
(1) or two (2) alphanumeric characters.
4.4.3.1 First character
There are two levels of classification in the first character field:
a) Basic classification
1) Element graphics;
2) Annotation;
3) Model (combination of element and annotation in model space);
4) Paper/Page (paper space or page information).
b) Further classification
1) Further classification of annotations: Text, hatching, dimension and marking;
2) Further classification of paper/page: Border, tabular information, notes, legends,

schedules, and diagrams.
The valid codes for the first character of the presentation field are given in Table 4.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL STANDARDISATION PROGRAMME
Under the national standardisation programme, SPRING Singapore helps companies and industry to
meet international standards and conformity requirements by creating awareness of the importance of
standardisation to enhance competitiveness and improve productivity, co-ordinating the development
and use of Singapore Standards and setting up an information infrastructure to educate companies
and industry on the latest developments.
SPRING Singapore is vested with the authority to appoint a Standards Council to advise on the
preparation, publication and promulgation of Singapore Standards and Technical References and
their implementation.
Singapore Standards are in the form of specifications for materials and products, codes of practice,
methods of test, nomenclature, services, etc. The respective committee or working group will draw
up the standards before seeking final approval from the Standards Council or the relevant Standards
Committee. To ensure adequate representation of all viewpoints in the preparation of Singapore
Standards, all committees appointed consist of representatives from various interest groups which
include government agencies, professional bodies, tertiary institutions and consumer, trade and
manufacturing organisations.
Technical References are transition documents developed to help meet urgent industry demand for
specifications or requirements on a particular product, process or service in an area where there is an
absence of reference standards. Unlike Singapore Standards, they are issued for comments over a
period of two years before assessment on their suitability for approval as Singapore Standards. All
comments are considered when a technical reference is reviewed at the end of two years to
determine the feasibility of its transition to a Singapore Standard. Technical References can
therefore become Singapore Standards after two years, continue as Technical References for further
comments or be withdrawn.
In the international arena, SPRING Singapore represents Singapore in the International Organisation
of Standardisation (ISO), the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Sub-committee for
Standards and Conformance (SCSC) and in the ASEAN Consultative Committee on Standards and
Quality (ACCSQ). The Singapore National Committee of the International Electrotechnical
Commission which is supported by SPRING Singapore, represents Singapore in the IEC.
