Introduction
The following information contained in this document should be considered a strict
guideline for all Mercy personnel and any outside or third party contractor,
consultant and/or product vendor who will produce, revise or modify Mercy,
Computer Aided Design (CAD) documents.
Mercy-Drawings Standards are included by reference for all Mercy
construction projects
Preface and Assumptions
This Mercy-Drawing Standards Manual documents the appropriate methods,
elements, and processes relative to the Mercy and Real Estate Services (RES)
group, CAD drafting procedures. It has been produced with the understanding that
it is a document subject to amendment and revision. As the department seeks to
provide the best and most current facilities information to Mercy, the need will arise
to add new information and update the processes addressed in this manual. In this
sense it is a “living” document, and the CAD Management standards are never final.
When updates are made you will be notified by email. This document is a
compilation of the recognized standards presently in use and a declaration of the
proper and acceptable methodology to perform CAD and functions in the RES.

These CAD Management standards have been developed with the following
assumptions:
Drawings will be received from contractors and vendors by the Mercy, CAD
Operator in compliance with the standards in this manual. All requirements and
specifications within this manual will be enforced by a drawing audit which checks
each drawing document for compliance.

All new layers will begin with the prefix NEW ******. Example: “New A-Wall

All Demo layers will begin with the prefix DEMO ******. Example: “Demo A-Door
If any portion of the drawing submitted is found to be in non-compliance, it
will be immediately rejected/ returned to the submitting party for correction. This will
result in delayed payment sign off for you.
What are the Goals of CAD Management
Mercy drawings standards are essential to establish and maintain an effective DWG
system. The goals of CAD Management at Mercy are:
•
•
•
•
To always follow these CAD layering guidelines
o United States National CAD Standard (NCS)
o National BIM Standard (NBS)
o American Institute of Architects (AIA)
To consolidate, standardize and establish consistency for CAD functions
within all related organization’s within Mercy
To reduce the costs associated with managing facilities and equipment
To ensure the highest standards of quality and accuracy within various
departments.

The Standards Manual
The need for the development of this Standards Manual exists within a twofold
context of a long-term plan to fully automate the processes of the Real Estate with
the Planning Design and Construction group and to make both the new and
archived DWG drawings available throughout the departments. As such, the
purpose of this manual is to standardize and create new CAD processes. The
implementation of the processes outlined in this manual will allow both internal and
external resources to understand more clearly Mercy requirements and to uphold
these requirements in both a high-quality and a cost-effective manner.
This document is a comprehensive guide for all Drafting, Planning, Engineering, and
Consulting documentation created for or by Mercy, as it relates to its facilities and
equipment. It defines the general features and quality of all DWG drawings
produced for or by Mercy. The purpose of this guide is to assist in maintaining the
accuracy and integrity of Mercy drawings and/or databases as well as to facilitate
the interchange of information between organizations, both internal and external to
Mercy. In addition, this guide provides a basis by which Mercy may accept or reject
DWG drawing deliverables from consultants and/or contractors.
Requesting ANY Change to These Standards
All Mercy standards must be followed completely. To make any request for
variance, change, or addition to this document you must call or email the CAD
Management Manager at Mercy to receive approval for any changes to these
standards. You can also find the correct requesting a change form, that is provided
in the Appendix E section of this manual.
Any changes without Mercy CAD Manager Approval will be rejected.
Definitions, Descriptions and Listing of Abbreviations

Mercy owners understand the Level of Development (LOD) and
how it defines the MercyBIM process and project delivery.
More important, Mercy defines a clear expectation of what they need
from MercyBIM using the LOD scale.
From this Mercy owners will have their models ready to maximize their
MercyBIM investment.
MercyBIM has been outlined into five levels.
These levels help define consistent expectations throughout the building lifecycle
from planning through design and construction and ultimately the building lifecycle.
There are five defined LOD standards per the AIA E202 document. LOD 100 - 300
have a reference to the traditional 2D project delivery method while levels 400 and
500 are specific to the BIM process.
Level of Development - LOD is generally defined as follows:
LOD 100 - The equivalent of conceptual design, the LOD 100 model usually
consists of overall building massing designed to perform whole building type
analysis including volume, building orientation, square foot costs, etc.
LOD 200 - Similar to schematic design or design development, the model would
consist of generalized systems including approximate quantities, size, shape,
location and orientation. LOD 200 models are typically used for analysis of defined
systems and general performance objectives.
LOD 300 - Model elements equivalent to traditional construction documents and
shop drawings. LOD 300 models are well suited for estimating as well as
construction coordination for clash detection, scheduling, and visualization. LOD
models should include the attributes and parameters defined by the owner in the
MercyBIM deliverable standard.
LOD 400 - This level of development is considered to be suitable for fabrication and
assembly. This LOD is most likely to be used by specialty trade contractors and
fabricators to build and fabricate project components including MEP systems.
LOD 500 - The final level of development represents the project as it has been
constructed including as-built conditions. The model is configured to be the central
data storage for integration into building maintenance and operations systems. LOD
500 models will include completed parameters and attributes specified in the owners
BIM deliverable specification.

Section 1: Facilities Management System
FM System (Real Estate Locations)
FM Systems is a full suite of purpose-built, scalable facilities management products
that can help building owners and CAD Management technician integrate building
data derived from BIM processes and use it to manage their facility drawings, data,
assets, occupants and work requests.
FM Systems is a graphics-capable facilities management application, with both a
database component and a graphics component—giving facility managers a toolset
to access and work with facility data integrated with existing facility drawings. This
graphic component provides non-CAD users with simple, intuitive tools for viewing
and managing graphical spatial information. From a functionality viewpoint, FM
Systems combines the features of CAFM (computer-aided facilities management)
and CMMS
(computerized maintenance management system)—with a variety of space, asset
and maintenance management features.
The FM Systems product suite includes these major components:
FM: Interact: The web site link of FM System. The Facility Manager enables
organizations to track and maintain assets and spaces, manage repair or renovation
projects, and implement maintenance procedures and schedules. With FM:Ineract,
the Project Manager can organizations can manage all facility drawings and data in a
single environment—enabling the users to query, pan, zoom, print, and share facility
drawings and data.

A-AREA-PATT = Rendering FM Tables including:
o Space = Lawson organization department number
o Space Type = Room types used
B-AREA-CONST = Outside / Exterior permitted, building SF
B-AREA-FLGR = Floor Gross / Interior wall SF
Facility Web: This module publishes the facility data and drawings managed with
Facility Manager into web formats, providing read-only access to data, drawings and
reports to others in an organization.
Facility Link: For organizations with AutoCAD-based facility drawings, this module is
used to connect objects in those AutoCAD drawings to records in the FM Systems
database.
11
Importing Facility Information - FMS
FM Systems connects graphical elements contained in design drawings and BIM
models to backend database engines including Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL, or
Oracle. The data import features of FM Systems means that virtually any existing
digital facility data can be easily imported into the FM Systems database.
FM Systems also has simple processes by which graphical1 spatial information—
particularly room areas and attributes—can be connected to the database. The DWF
file format can be used to import and manage drawing information outside the native
CAD or BIM environment. This method is the primary means of connecting BIMbased design information to downstream facilities management and operations.

Section 2: Standard Master Drawings Set-up
Before any new Architectural walls are drawn on your DWG files, please open the
web link:

http://mercy.indoxservices.com/default.aspx
This web site contains the Mercy On-line Plan Room.
Finished Completed Projects Drawings DWG/DWF hyperlink button will open to a
contact list site. Please call us so we can help you locate the drawings you are
looking for.
• Architects always need to work from the latest *DWG background because walls
changes often.
• M,E,P,FP and FA Groups must phone call and set up a appointment with the
CAD Management team, before they do any new work and change spaces
i.e. Room, Suite, Floor, or a Building.
Mechanical Drawing Goals 2D Set-Up for Mercy
When new construction work is going change a space i.e. Room, Suite, Floor, or a
Building:
• You must contact the CAD Management Team.
• Ask for all Mechanical HVAC in the space that’s being demolished and also
ask for Mechanical HVAC for that complete floor, even if you are just
changing a room.
• When the As-built or Project Drawings are provide back to CAD
Management team, we need to see not only the current project drawings,
but also how the work connects to all surrounding areas.
• Mercy is to have a complete floor HVAC master set.
• Once this is working and contractors understand our new process, we will
have the same goals for:
 Plumbing
 Electrical
 Fire Alarm
It is not the role of the CAD management team to combine or join the Duct work
pipes in newly construction areas or past finished projects.
See Section 4, for more information on these requirements.
CMMS / 4 RIVERS™ Equipment Designation for Construction
Documents for CAD Management
•
•
•
The Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS) or 4 RIVERS™,
is a preventative maintenance program which is a main focal point of
Mercy Facility and Operation Maintenance (O & M) Departments. This
program is centralized and requires a very specific numbering system.
To obtain this number will require the design engineer to contact the facility
department during design development and request a number to be
scheduled for each piece of equipment
Equipment schedules will need to be modified to include a column for
CMMS tag number. The floor plans can still reflect a typical designation
13
such as an exhaust fan designated as EF-1 but the schedule shall
include the CMMS number.
• See Appendix G for the equipment that requires the CMMS number.
This new numbering procedure will identify to the O & M department the
new equipment being added to their facility before the design development drawings
are issued.
It is not the role of the CAD management team to provide you with this information
Drawing Set-Up
Drawings will be created using Named Plot Styles. Check
Tools>Options>Plotting and make sure the setting is checked to use Named Plot
Styles. See the Named Plot Styles section on how to use Mercy1.ctb.
Figure 2 - 1. Dialogue Window to Set Named Plot Style
Drawing Naming Conventions
If you are in need of a master background DWG for your project? You need to
contact CAD Management Team to obtain the appropriate DWG.
If any questions over naming conventions arise.
The building name and property code number is generated by Buxton Database
program.
Building Name - Property Code # - Floor # .DWG
Drawing Scale
All drawings in CAD must be drawn to a full, real world scale (i.e. 1’-0” = 1’-0”). All
drawing elements should be drawn to the exact distance of the object that they
represent. Since no scaling takes place in the drawing, text height, line type scale
and dimension scale factors must be considered when a drawing is created. The
only time that drawings will receive a scale factor (i.e. ¼” = 1’-0”) is during the
printing or plotting process.
Primary Units should be Architectural with precision to the nearest 1/8”.
14
Drawing Limits
The drawing limits in AUTOCAD are essentially the area in which a user works on a
drawing. No physical limitation is imposed on these limits; however the extents of a
drawing should be checked to ensure that no objects are drawn outside of the
drawing limits. Objects outside the drawing limits will slow the regeneration and
manipulation of the drawing. Drawing limits should always be created to be
somewhat larger than the outer extents of the drawing objects.
Example: If a user draws a building that measures 100’ x 50’, a proper setting for
the AUTOCAD limits would be:
Lower left limits: 0,0
Upper right limit: 120’,70’
This setting would allow approximately 10’ on each side of the building for other
drawing items such as text, notes and dimensioning. The lower left limit in
AUTOCAD should always be the coordinate 0,0. All drawings should be submitted
in Model Space with the drawing display zoomed to the drawing extents.
System Variables
There are several AUTOCAD system variables that must be set before any
drawings are submitted to Mercy. If any of these system variables are changed
during the documents production, the variables should be set back to the settings
described here in before submission. The most important AUTOCAD system
variables are as follows:
•
•
The TILEMODE must be set to 1 (the drawings must be in Model Space)
The BASE point must be set to (0,0,0)
The following variables may be set by locating the UCS to the -Default AUTOCAD
position (0,0)
UCSORG must be set to 0'0",0'0",0'0"
(Stores the origin point of the current coordinate system for the current space)
UCSXDIR must be set to 0'-1",0'0",0'0"
(Stores the X direction of the current UCS for the current space)
UCSYDIR must be set to 0'0",0'-1",0'0"
(Stores the Y direction of the current UCS for the current space)
Titleblocks
The following are conventions for entering the Titleblock information:
• The standard New Mercy E- size Titleblock is required on all drawings.
• The Titleblock drawing shall be inserted as a BLOCK into the Paper Space tab
called “Layout or named the floor number. Pasted to the layer
“A-ANNO-BORDER”, with the insertion base point of “0,0,0”. The data fields
must be filled in completely and accurately with the appropriate information
•
The standard North Arrow will be included within the provided Titleblock. The
orientation and rotation of the North Arrow will point upwards by Default. It will
be rotate as needed to reflect the building’s true orientation

3. Date
Used to define the latest revision date of the drawing.
Example: 01-22-05 (MM-DD-YY)
4. Scale
Used to define the plotting scale of the drawing
Example: 1/8”=1’-0”
5. Sheet Number
Used to identify the sheet number.
Example: A-01
6.Project Name / Number
Used to identify the project name and Job number.
Example: image camera # 1540-153205-0397
7.Floor Number

Attribute Dialog Boxes for Entering Titleblock Information
Figure 2 -3. Dialog Window for Attribute Definition
Editing the Titleblock Information at a Later Time
The information contained in the Titleblock drawing can be edited after it was initially
inserted by typing ATTEDIT in the AUTOCAD command line and then selecting the
information that needs to be changed. This will once again bring up the “Edit
Attributes” dialog box allowing the user to make and accept changes and/or enter
revision information.
Revision Space Name
Revision name is where you M-TEXT the previous name of the area (department
name) and then add the new Department name.
Knowing what department used to be in the area will help in archiving and searching
for drawings the future
North Arrow
The North direction designators (North Arrow) must be on layer A-ANNO-SYMB. It
will be inserted into the Titleblock as a BLOCK.
17
The North Arrow must be located in the Lower right hand corner of the main
viewport in the Titleblock drawing.
Standard North Arrow
Drawing Blocks
In AUTOCAD, a group of objects that are used often or will be repeated in the same
drawing can be converted into a single symbol or BLOCK. A block can then be
stored in the drawings’ memory and inserted time and time again. AUTOCAD
maintains a list of all blocks in the drawing that are available for insertion. A block
can also be stored or saved outside of the current drawing, allowing it to be inserted
or used in other drawings by using the WBLOCK (write-block) command. This
actually creates a small independent drawing file of the symbol on either a disk, or a
local server hard drive location that the user specifies. Graphic entities such as
columns or equipment symbols that occur repeatedly in
a drawing must be made into AUTOCAD blocks. Well-designed blocks are essential
in creating and maintaining memory-efficient and organized CAD drawings. Blocks
also assist in maintaining the integrity and consistency of the drawing database.
Proper Block Creation and Naming Conventions
All blocks shall be created on layer “0”. All properties of the entities within the block
shall be controlled by the layer to ensure that the block will assume the properties
(color, line type, etc.) of the layer that it gets inserted onto. Block names in
AUTOCAD must be a maximum of 31 characters and cannot contain spaces and/or
special characters.
Block Category
(The first two characters of the block name
Should relay the discipline of the symbol
(Example: A=architectural, EL=electrical, etc.)
Block Description
(Physical description of the symbol or item represented)
ELOUTLET .DWG
For every new block a CAD Drawing “Non-Standard Form Request” must be
completed as provided in the Appendix section.
Definition of Symbols/Blocks
Standard Symbol: Symbols provided by Mercy and housed in a standards library.
Interim Symbol: Non-standard symbols used as a means of transferring
information from one drawing to another as a block. After the interim block is
inserted and exploded, it shall be purged from the facility drawing.
Site-Specific Symbol: Symbols that are specific to one building or floor and would
not be useful in other drawings.
General Types of Symbols/Blocks
Real Scale: Symbols or blocks which are inserted into drawings at real scale that
represent real objects and dimensions regardless of the scale of the drawing, (e.g.
desks, chairs and equipment).
Scaled: Symbols or blocks must be legible at any scale. These designators are
graphic representations which may contain text and are used to annotate parts of
18
the drawing (e.g. telephone data, and power outlets, North arrows, room numbers,
etc.).
Non-Standard Symbols or Blocks:
• These guidelines relate to creating symbols and blocks not available as part of
the standards:
• Blocks requiring text shall utilize AUTOCAD text attributes when appropriate.
Attributes will request input for information at the time the block is inserted into
the drawing.
• Insertion points at 0,0,0 unless block requires specific object snap placement.
• Blocks are not to be inserted with varying X, Y or Z scale factors.
• Blocks are not to be exploded unless they require editing within the drawing.
• All blocks are to be created on layer “0” so that when inserted into the drawing
they will acquire the properties of the proper insertion layer. Any other layers in
addition to “0” need to be defined on that layer during its creation and blocked
on “0.” Please see block naming convention rules and layering standards for
further information.
• All blocks shall have color and line type properties set to “BYLAYER.”
• Use consistent 0,0 insertion point of block. Lower left, on block standard.
• Standard blocks shall not be nested or redefined.
• Standard blocks shall be inserted on their appropriate layer. See the layering
standards in Appendix “A” for more information.
• Explode standard blocks, then scale, copy, rotate and mirror rather than create
new blocks to accommodate new non-standard conditions
• Examples of Blocks below
- Fire Extinguisher / layer name F-Prot 1&2
- Exit Light / layer name E-LITE-EXIT
External Reference (XREF) Files
XREF’s are to be utilized only by Mercy. Any third party providers such as
Architects, Mechanical, Electrical Plumbing Fire Protection consultants, and
contractors or any approved vendors using a AutoDESK family program willl
NOT use XREF’s in type of drawing submitted to CAD Management team.
Any drawings containing XREF’s that are submitted to the CAD Management team
must be attached using the Bind command, or the drawings will be rejected and
emailed back to the PDand C project manager.
To Bind an XREF to the current drawing
•
•
•
•
Click Insert menu » External References.
In the External References palette, select the reference name that you want to
bind.
Right-click, and click Bind.
In the Bind Xrefs dialog box, select one of the following options:
1. Bind converts the objects in the xref into a block reference. Named
object definitions are added to the current drawing with a prefix of
blockname.
19
•
2. Insert also converts the objects in the xref into a block reference. Named
object definitions are merged into the current drawing without adding
prefixes.
Click OK to close each dialog box.
Note: Upon initial implementation the only use of XREF drawings will be the Title
Block drawing, the Architectural drawing if available and the Space Polyline
Drawing. All disciplines will be drawn on the Architectural drawing following the AIA
Layering conventions. As CAD functions expand at CAD Management, discipline
information may be divided into individual drawings.

Section 3: CAD Properties and Elements
Layers
A complete list of layer names, colors and line types are provided in Appendices A,
B, and C. The layers are derived from the structure of the AIA (American
Institute of Architects) – Compliant Mercy approved Layer Guide is located in
the - Appendix A.
Text Style, Size
The primary text font to be used will be AutoCAD’s Arial CE font. Suppliers are not
to use any complex fonts (e.g. complex, italic, or any True Type font (.TTF) for any
notes or text. These fonts decrease performance and slow plotting / printing time.
Additionally, trying to open an AUTOCAD drawing on a computer that might not
have the same third party font files installed can be very difficult and time
consuming.
For all drawings the minimum plotted text height shall be 1/8”. All plotted text should
be readable at 1/8”=1’-0” scale. The following text sizes may be modified but should
be used as a guideline for all drawings.

AutoCAD Line Types, CAD Management Firewalls and Scales
AutoCAD Line Types
Although AUTOCAD offers many different variations of line types only 4 of those
may be used to create and maintain Mercy drawings. (No other Line Types may
be used.) All AUTOCAD colors and line types should be assigned by layer.
Do not use the color Yellow as line type, or as text type word, in your DWG
drawings. This is part of ADA Accessibility Guidelines to people with Color
blindness.
Color 51 is accepted.
The following list describes the only acceptable Default AUTOCAD line types:
CONTINUOUS
_______________________
HIDDEN 2
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
CENTER
___ _ ___ _ ___ _ ___
PHANTOM
____ __ __ ____ __ __
CAD Management Firewalls
New construction Firewalls should be drawn on layer NEW-F-PROT 1&2
The Firewall line width should be 11” in model space, and on top of the construction
wall layer.
When creating the new Firewalls, set your “line type control scale” to:
• Global 2.000 / Current 100.000 in Paper space.
•
Global 400.00 / Current 1.00 in Model space.
Above example of approved Fire Walls line types to be used on a Black and White
life Safety drawing from the Architect.
22
CAD Management Firewalls
The existing Firewalls can be found on the layer F-PROT 1&2.
When Printing Firewalls, set your “line type control scale” to
•
Global 400.00 / Current 1.00 in Model space only.
The following list describes the only acceptable Firewall line types and colors:

ASHE - Approved and adopted Line Types and Emergency Evacuation
showing an Egress path out of building with Work Construction Zones.
23
AutoCAD Line Type Scale
As a general rule, the line type scale should be calculated by setting the LTSCALE
variable to 1/2 of the drawing scale factor. Therefore, the LTSCALE may be
determined by multiplying the denominator of the drawing scale by 12 and dividing
the result by 2. For example, if the planned plotted scale were 1/8” = 1’-0”, you
would multiply 8 (denominator) by 12, equaling 96 and then dividing that figure by 2,
for an LTSCALE Value of 48.

1/16" = 1'-0"
1/8" = 1'-0"
1/4" = 1'-0"

Dimensioning
The following guidelines for dimensioning should be followed. It is recommended to
take the STANDARD dimension style provided with AUTOCAD, make the required
modifications as shown below and perform a SAVEAS command to a style name
Mercy.
• Dimensions shall be defined by architectural ticks.
• All dimensions must be specified in feet and inches, except for dimensions less
than 12 inches. (Example: 1’-6 ½” less one-foot equals 6 ½”)
• Automatic dimensioning by AUTOCAD should not be the only source for
dimensional accuracy; distances should also be verified by the drawing supplier
of the CAD file.
• Mercy encourages the rounding of dimensions to the nearest 1/8” unless greater
accuracy is required for a specific case.
• The spacing between stacked dimension lines should be a minimum of 1/4”
(plotted).
• Text will be centered above the dimension line.
• Dimensions are to be created associatively and not exploded.
• When applying a series of dimensions, the longest dimension should be farthest
away from the object to avoid dimension line - extension line interference.
• Architectural ticks size should be set on 3” in height
• All dimensions shall be read left to right or bottom to top’
• Text fonts shall be Romans
Sample Dimensions
24
Printing and Plotting
In AUTOCAD a user has generally two options for creating a hard copy output of a
DWG file. Printing is a term typically used when sending the drawing file to an
11”x17” printer. Plotting usually refers to generating a larger (up to 36” x 48” and
up) output. In both cases colors are assigned to entities in drawings by layer
(BYLAYER). While AUTOCAD allows entities drawn on the same layer to have
multiple colors, changing Default color assignments will eventually undermine efforts
to maintain database consistency. Therefore, in most cases, all entities on a given
layer shall have the same color.
Layouts
All plotting and printing is to be done with saved Layouts. A minimum of two layouts
shall be defined for each drawing. These include: Discipline Check, Discipline Final.
Each discipline will have its own layout settings (Architectural, Electrical, etc.) with
the appropriate discipline layers visible including the Titleblock drawing which
displays the attributed information.
Layout Settings shall be defined as follows:
Plot Areas:
Plot offset:
Plot Scale:
Plot options:
Orientation:
Layout Name:
Extents
Centered
1:1 with scale lineweights box checked
Plot with Named plot styles/ plot paper space last
As appropriate
Discipline_View_scale_Type For example: A_Plan_1-8_Check
Plot Device names should be set to NONE.
Named Plot Styles
One plot styles shall be used at Mercy- Mercy1 for final plots
Copy and Paste Mercy1.ctb Pen table into your Plot Style folder which in your
AUTOCAD program.
To choose this pen table go into AUTOCAD, Plot, Plot Device, Plot style table, and
choose Mercy1
All designers, contractors, engineers, and vendors must use the approved
Mercy1.ctb file all drawings or reproductions. Please check with the CAD
Management manager first before changing this file.

Work Flow Check List Guide
CAD Management Team only:
1. We receive an email from INDOX stating that a new project has been
uploaded to the Online Plan Room.
 Communicate with Property/Facility Managers (RES) when changes
are happening in their buildings.
2. In the Blueprints Excel Database, update the As-Builts CAD Management
tab with the Mercy project number, etc. (Ask project manager which
disciplines will be submitted with the finished project)
3. A CAD Management Team contacts the PD&C Project Manager and
together determines where the on-going Construction Temporary Barriers
are to be located. “These are only for projects with Temporary Barriers up
for more than 3 months”
4. CAD Management Team will update the Fire Walls – Life Safety maps.
5. PD&C Project Manager will notify the CAD Management Tech before the
newly constructed space will be occupied.
6. CAD Management team will then contact the Plant Operations Supervisor of
that building, and both will then go and inspect together the new area.
In the inspection you are only to use the “Construction Drawing from the
contractors” at the job site and follow the Life Safety Code NFPA101
7. 90 Days after project completion, we are to receive all disciplines of
As-Builts. At this point, start a new project “Check List”
8. Update your master building - Blueprints Excel Database in appropriate
building tab.
9. Any CD’s or electronic files are reviewed per our CAD Management team

Section 4: Accuracy Requirements and Requesting
Requesting Field Measuring
Requesting a Mercy building to be measured and put into FMS when we do not
have current floor plans.
Contractors, Vendors, Real Estate Services or Regional PD&C requests for
measurements should go direct to CAD Management Manager first.
The Manager will respond with the CAD management team availability to provide
the service. If there is a timeline we would need measurements completed we will
include that in the request.
If a building request comes though to be measured and CAD Management team is
unable to accommodate the request. Then that request will be forwarded to our
design partners to try to outsource the service.
If you need a Building, Floor or a room measured. You need to contact
[email protected]
The request form will be emailed to you:
Requesting Past, Finished Drawings
CAD Management team will archive and make available for anyone within Mercy to
have access to any finished project that CAD management team has logged and
archived to the read only server.
If they need help accessing this server, they need to contact their direct Mercy
manger for approval.
Any Contractors or Vendor that needs to view a past finished Mercy project, needs
to arrange a date and time to visit with the local CAD technician in their plan room.

Dimensional Accuracy
Mercy will accept a 0" tolerance for CAD drawings. All CAD elements must be
drawn to the best possible dimensions available.
The drawing supplier is responsible for the accuracy of the DWG drawings supplied
or created for Mercy. The drawing supplier will correct any and all errors found in
the accuracy of the CAD drawings provided to Mercy at any future date. All errors
will be corrected without additional charges to Mercy.
Submitted Drawing Mandatory
Upon completion of all construction projects and before the public steps into the new
space the Construction Drawings DWG must be sent via email or Jump drive (which
we will provide) so we can draw and mount the new Evacuation maps in the new
areas. This is a THE JOINT COMMISSION requirement on safety and Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) – Fire Department
All Architectural and MEP firms must submit AutoCAD drawings no later than 90
days after project completion (projects are considered complete when the public
enters the new areas). Final payment will be made upon Pass Check List receipt
of drawings.
As-built or (final record drawings) AutoCAD drawings must be sent to us via Jump
drive or CD.
Field Verification
The drawing supplier will perform Field verification unless otherwise specified by
Mercy. If the results of the verification are substantially different from the DWG
drawing(s) provided, Mercy must be notified immediately. The wall columns and
column lines should be drawn first and input to exact dimensions when possible. All
drawing offsets should be measured from the nearest column grid. The accuracy of
the CAD drawing should be +/-2” for any one room dimension. Wall thickness
should be to the nearest 1/4.” The tolerance for freestanding furniture placement is
typically +/-1.” The tolerance for systems furniture placement is typically +/-1/8.”
The drawing supplier must use the furniture symbols provided by the Mercy
approved furniture manufacturer(s). In a new or un-partitioned drawing Mercy will
expect higher dimensional accuracy.
Graphic Accuracy
All drawings must be produced following good CAD practices. AUTOCAD OBJECT
SNAPS must be used for all object intersections and placements to ensure that all
corners meet. These object snaps include, but are not limited to: endpoint,
midpoint, intersection, apparent intersection, center, quadrant, etc. The following
are minimum requirements for graphics accuracy:
• Lines or contours should not be drawn with more line segments than necessary.
• There should be no duplicate drawing elements (line on line).
All drawing elements should be connected as required (e.g. corners should meet).
32
Section 5: Submittal Conventions
When any drawing type supplier A,M,E,P,FP is creating a new site or drawing, all of
the conditions in this manual should be followed completely.
Technical Specifications
The list of approved software applications and versions can be requested from
Mercy. All CAD drawings submitted must be in version R2014
When submitted in R2014 format, all plot style tables must be included. Drawings
must be submitted on Jump Drive. Jump Drive will be provided by the CAD
Management team. In addition, a list of the CAD drawing filenames and their
corresponding drawing titles must be provided. (See section 2, for CAD Drawing File
Name Conventions, and Title block Field Explanations, for description of information
to be provided.) Each drawing in the sheet set must be a separate CAD drawing
file. Do not externally reference materials for submission.

need the Architectural drawing one week before opening of the new area, so we
can create the maps.
The new egress maps must be mounted on our high glossy black Ultra form core
before the newly constructed area is occupied. This is requirement on safety and

Section 6: Building Information Modeling - Integrated Practice
What is the power of MercyBIM
Building Information Modeling – BIM – is an innovation method to seamlessly bridge
communication within the architecture, engineer and construction industries. With
BIM, architects and engineers efficient generate and exchange information, create
digital representations of all stages of the building process, and simulate real-world
performance – streamlining workflow, increasing productivity and improving quality.

All BIM models will be given back to MercyBIM at the end of any project. Leased or
owned this includes any Suite, Floor, Building, or Facility.
At the start of a NEW BIM project we will give you our Master BIM Model
and any changes that happen to that Model. We need it back at the end of the
project as this is OUR Master model.

All MercyBIM Models are owned and controlled by Mercy.
 Any MercyBIM Model must be exported (see how to export below) and
given back to Mercy as a 2D format.
About Revit
The Revit platform is Autodesks purpose-built solution for building information
modeling. Application such as Revit Structure, and Revit MEP built on the Revit
platform are complete, discipline-specific building design and documentation system
supporting all phases of planning, design and construction. From conceptual studies
through the most detailed construction drawings and schedules, applications built on
Revit help provide immediate competitive advantage, better coordination and
quality, and can contribute to higher profitability for Architects and the rest of the
building team.
At the heart of the Revit platform is the Revit parametric change engine, which
automatically coordinates changes made anywhere – in model views or drawing
sheets, schedules, sections, and plans.

Structural Views
and Drawings
The most common starting points for a structural firm are 2D CAD files
provided by the architect.
®
Revit Structure lets firms import or link DWG files from AutoCAD software and
AutoCAD Architecture directly into Revit Structure.
If the 2D CAD file is linked while being imported, it remains within Revit Structure as a
backdrop and can be refreshed if the architect supplies an updated version. The
engineer would use the ManagLinks option in Revit Structure to reload a new version
of the architectural background.
Within AutoCAD Architecture,the architect has several ways to give the project
information to the engineer:
1. If the architect has designed a floor plan without linked files (also known as
external references), the first step towards exporting the files for use in Revit
Structure would be to enable proxy graphics by setting the system variable to 1.
With proxy graphics enabled, users who do not have AutoCAD Architecture but do
have another application that can read DWG files (AutoCAD 2000 or newer, Revit
Structure), can view and plot AEC objects created in AutoCAD Architecture.
Finally, the drawing should be saved and sent to the engineer.
36
2. If the architect has designed a floor plan using external references, the
recommended method is to enable proxy graphics and then bind all external
references files to make the entire architectural data visible to the engineer after
export. To do this, go to Insert / Xref Manager / select all the Reference Names / Bind
and choose Insert in the Bind Xrefs.
37
The imported geometry can be referenced or converted directly to create new
structural components. For example, the lines representing an architectural grid on a
DWG file can be used to create a new structural grid either by digitally tracing the
lines (referencing endpoints, midpoints, etc.) or by selecting the appropriate line,
using the pick tool, and converting them directly to Revit Structure grid lines.
2D wall lines or 3D wall faces from AutoCAD Architecture wall objects can be
converted directly to 3D structural walls in a similar fashion (using floor elevations to
specify height, and wall library for material and thickness of the wall).
38
Revit Structure lets structural engineers navigate through the architectural models
made with AutoCAD Architecture.
If the 3D Architectural model is composed of several linked files (most likely one file
per floor), the recommended method is to set the proxygraphics value to 1, and
export the file to AutoCAD.
Alternatively, the previously described method of binding the xref files can be used,
so that the imported (not linked) DWG file can be partially exploded and queried
inside Revit Structure. Each AEC entity becomes its own Import Symbol and
Properties dialog displays important properties of the AutoCAD Architecture objects.
39
Exporting 3D Structural Models
For improved coordination with architects, Revit Structure exports structural
components as intelligent building objects native to AutoCAD Architecture. In Revit
Structure, the engineer will select a 3D view of the building structure and export the
file into DWG format.
The Options button in the Export dialog windows give access to the following
Because AutoCAD Architecture does not support non-extruded structural members
(coped elements, cutbacks, cuts, holes), there is an alternative to preserve the exact
shape of objects (loosing the structural properties) or to create simplified AutoCAD
Architecture object (loosing some geometry accuracy but keeping the structural
properties).
Structural components in Revit Structure that are not of a type supported in AutoCAD
Architecture (slabs, footings, and walls with structural characteristics) are exported to
AutoCAD Architecture as mass elements.
For the non-uniform profiles, AutoCAD Architecture massing objects will also be
created instead of the AutoCAD Architecture structural member.
40
A complete structural model from Revit Structure can be shared directly with an
architect using AutoCAD Architecture - enabling the architect to review the structural
design inside the architectural model and query the structural properties as true
AutoCAD Architecture objects.
The architect can now visually see possible interferences between architectural and
structural elements, directly inside AutoCAD Architecture.
41
Exporting Structural Views and Drawings
For collaboration purposes, the ability to export any view or structural drawing from
Revit Structure into a 2D CAD file is, obviously, very important. Autodesk Revit
Structure can produce DWG deliverables just as AutoCAD software can, producing
well-organized and layered DWG files using any layering standard the user wants.
Before exporting your Revit Structure view as a DWG file, you’ll also want to consider
a layering scheme. Right out of the box, Autodesk Revit Structure supports both local
and international layering conventions with built-in AIA (US), BS1192 (UK), ISO
13567 (Europe), and CP 83 (Asia) formats.
For those architects who have spent time developing their own layering conventions,
Revit Structure supports them as well with a convenient mapping table that maps a
Revit Structure design element 1-to-1 with an appropriate AutoCAD layer name.
42
To access this layer mapping table, go to the File pulldown and choose Import/Export
Settings Export Layers DWG/DXF.
This table takes every Revit Structure element and matches it to an appropriate layer
name and color ID.
43
Once the view has been prepared for export, simply go to the File pulldown and
select Export  DWG, DXF, DGN.
44
Additionally, multiple views, such as each level’s Floorplan, can be exported all at
once by changing the Export Range from Current View to Selected views/Sheets.
Finally, a layering scheme of the final DWG will have to be selected. Right out of the
box, there are several layering standards available or a custom layering scheme can
be created.
45
Save the file in an appropriate directory so that it can be opened in AutoCAD
Architecture
Once the DWG has been created, the drawing sheet is available to plot in AutoCAD
Architecture via the Plot command.
Summary CAD Management:
Revit Structure can import and export DWG and is also interoperable with AutoCAD
Architecture. This will improve the way engineers and architects coordinate their
respective design and increase the quality of our final project deliverables to Mercy.
The interoperability link between Revit Structure AutoCAD Architecture is not only a
powerful coordination tool but also a great communication tool. The ability to look at
the same space data in the program that the architects are familiar with, without the
loss of information, this means the engineers and architects can make better
informed decisions, based on a clearer communication which will then be a bigger
saving to Mercy.
46
Appendix A: Approved layering Standard
Mercy Layering Conventions
The layering format is different between the various drawing types. Layering
formats for any drawing may not be changed by anyone other than AutoCAD
Manager. Any modifications to the layer properties manager or the need for
additional layers must be approved by CAD Management manager.
Any New Layers that have been approved must begin with the word
NEW- *******
This will help CAD Management team determine what layers have changed from
past to present
The list below is a guild that’s shows layering standards for Architects, Mechanical,
Electrical Plumbing Fire Protection consultants and contractors or approved
Vendors must follow before adding new

Appendix D: Mercy Space Measurement Standard
Following are the guidelines to which Mercy bases their space measurement
standards. They are based in accordance with the Standard Method for Measuring
Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 1996 (hereafter the
ANSI/BOMA Standard).
Definitions
Some of the definitions that will be used within this document include the following:
FINISHED SURFACE shall mean a wall, ceiling or floor surface, including glass, as
prepared for tenant use, excluding the thickness of any special surfacing materials
such as paneling, furring strips and/or carpets.
DOMINANT PORTION shall mean the portion of the inside FINISHED SURFACE of
the permanent outer building wall which is 50% or more of the vertical floor-toceiling dimension, at the given point being measured as one moves horizontally
along the wall.
GROSS BUILDING AREA shall mean the total constructed area of a building. It is
generally not used for leasing purposes.
GROSS MEASURED AREA shall mean the total area of a building enclosed by the
DOMINANT PORTION excluding parking area and loading docks (or portions of
same) outside the building line. It is generally not used for leasing purposes and is
calculated on a floor by floor basis.
MAJOR VERTICAL PENETRATIONS shall mean stairs, elevator shafts, flues, pipe
shafts, vertical ducts and the like and they’re enclosing walls. Not included
however, are vertical penetrations built for the private use of a tenant occupying
OFFICE AREAS on more than one floor.
OFFICE AREA shall mean the area where a tenant normally houses personnel
and/or furniture for which a measurement is to be computed.
USABLE AREA is the sum of OFFICE AREA, STORE AREA and BUILDING
COMMON AREA on a floor. For BOMA’s purposes, it is used in calculating
RENTABLE AREA and pro-rating BUILDING COMMON AREA among floors on a
basis of the rentable-to-usable ratio for individual floor and the building as a whole.
Space Measurement/ Polyline Guidelines
Measurements for the purpose of a Lease Management application are generally a
subset of the measurement typically captured for a comprehensive Space
Management application. For the purposes of this document, the type of
measurements to be identified and captured will include OFFICE AREA and MAJOR
VERTICAL PENETRATIONS. The OFFICE AREA will be used as the rentable area
for the Tenant. Each Room will also be identified as to its Class Type (i.e. how the
room is used).
Measurements for GROSS BUILDING AREA and GROSS MEASURED AREA will
not be captured at this time unless a tenant space incorporates an entire building or
61
floor. The reason for this is that the floor plates are not available at this time to verify
the measurements
As Mercy requirements expand and additional buildings are brought on-line a full
comprehensive Space Management system can be evaluated and implemented as
appropriate and the CAD standard may be modified and updated.
All general measurements will be taken based on centerlines of interior spaces to
DOMINANT PORTION of the exterior wall. Measurements for all adjacent spaces
and spaces adjacent to floor common areas will be measured to the centerlines.
Special clarifications:
For measuring to exterior walls, columns are not to be considered in measurements
to the DOMINANT PORTION of GROSS MEASURED AREA. However, if the
DOMINANT PORTION of the exterior wall changes from one side of the column to
the next, the measured line will go ½ the horizontal distance and then step to meet
DOMINANT PORTION on other side of wall.
For measuring interior spaces, where alcoves, recessed entrances or similar
deviations from the corridor line are present, they will be considered part of the
OFFICE AREA just like the space would have been if the deviation had not
occurred.
Accuracy
The level of accuracy expected to be achieved with the field measurement process
is to be within +/- 1”. The measurements captured for input on the CAD drawing for
rooms will be the ‘link’ between the CAD drawing and the RES database. Accepted
Square Footage numbers for Lease purposes will be entered separately within the
RES database. Based upon Mercy’s needs these numbers may be different or be
entered as the same.
No AutoCAD Plans will be Accepted if you use your own room
number program
Please follow the room numbering system that is already in place at Mercy and all
offsite buildings.
Tenant ID
The Tenant ID will be used to represent the overall OFFICE AREA or gross
Rentable Area for the Tenant space. This polyline will be drawn on layer BAREA_FLGR following the polyline guidelines described in this document. Please
call us with any questions.
Text Label for the Tenant Gross polyline will be defined as:
Practice Name
Suite Number
Rentable area = ***** S.F.
Room ID
All individual room polylines will be drawn on the A-AREA layer following the
polyline guidelines described in this document.
62
Room Number Methodology
Once an Architect has assigned a Room Number it cannot be changed by,
M,E,P,FP and the signage Vendor.
Every room space including the corridors must room sign on the drawings.
• Number rooms beginning with the entry vestibule
• Number in a counterclockwise order (follow arrow below)
 Single Story Building
 Multiple Floors Building
Number rooms with a four digit, one decimal system as follows
• Vestibule = 001.0
• Floor Number 1 = first floor
• Floor Number B = Basement floor
• Suites = begin with 100 in the leftmost suite, each suite begins with the
next factor of 100 (see following page)
• Decimal = used to designate a room within a room (ex – closet or toilet
within another room)
• Stairway Number = S-**
example (S-01)
• Elevator Number = E-**
example (E-04)
• Corridor Number = C-****
example (C-1001)
All New individual room numbers will be drawn on the New-A-FLOR layer.
When new construction happens in an area you can re-use the old Room Numbers,
as long as they are in the ranges listed below. When adding new numbers, check
availability and maintain the room number sequence.
Example showing the direction of
the Room Number flow
63
Example of Room Number Flow
Basement level = B***
Lower level = L***
First floor = 1***
Second floor = 2***
Ect.
Interior sign standards provide a paper insert area. The concept below illustrates the
typical exam room numbering and facility numbering allocation on those inserts.
Fonts, text sizes and overall insert layout can be found in the signage standard
documentation
64
Example of Room Number Signs
65
Example of Room Naming Flow
When the approved signage vender is mounting the new signage to the newly
constructed walls
The Project manager must remind the sign vendor of Signage Standard Documentation
Room Number sign to be visible in every space location that has a Fire type / alarm
devise mounted on the wall or ceiling.
(The Project manager can look at the electrical drawings these are marked on the
titleblock with FA)
This room / space number is then tied back to the Fire Control Panel. The Fire Marshall
is requiring signage as this is part of our building certificate UL (UUJS) and with the Fire
Department having AHJ. This will speed up response time, in case of an emergency
situation.
The room / space number is also tied back to Johnston Controls PC which controls the
HVAC for that room.
Room Numbers are used by Maintenance for their CMMS/4 RIVERS equipment
tracking.
66
RES CAD Team
If you are measuring a new suite and there are rooms numbers on the doors.
The waiting room will be the suite number.
Then in ante clockwise the room numbers will be .1
Example: Waiting room 601, reception 601.1, nursing station 601.2
Space Type
Space Type is the broadest category of space description. There are only four
classes to be used for defining the spaces within the Mercy organization.
• Assignable
• Floor Common
• Vertical Penetration
• Building Common = vestibules
Space Type is the next level of detail in describing the space. Space Types often
have a physical space size associated to them so they can be used in Space
Forecasting/Planning modeling. Following are the approved list of Space Types for
the Mercy organization within each Class. Space Types names of the rooms may
be used and approved by the Mercy.
Assignable
Waiting Room
Exam Room
Reception
Office
Lab
Floor common
Hallway
Public Restroom
Vertical Penetration
Elevator
Stairway
Core/Vertical Penetrations
Step-by-Step Polyline Guidelines
When creating or editing polylines (also referred to as polylining or p-lining), users
should proceed from the outside moving inwards, beginning with the tenant suite
polyline which defines Tenant Rentable “Office Area”, then working in through the
various space categories.
This is a baseline figure that Mercy uses to ensure that all the individual spaces
within this perimeter have been accounted for, by calculating an error rate that
indicates whether areas have been omitted or double-counted (overlapped).
When p-lining at the exterior wall, the polyline is located at the inside face of the wall
regardless of the type of space it is, measured to the “Finished Surface” of the
inside face. “Finished Surface” refers to a “wall, ceiling, or floor surface, including
glass, as prepared for tenant use, excluding the thickness of any special surfacing
materials such as paneling, furring strips, and/or carpet.” The inside face is either
that of glass or solid wall, depending upon which is the “Dominant Portion”, i.e., that
which constitutes more than 50% of the vertical floor-to-ceiling dimension, with no
deductions being “made for columns and projections necessary to the building.”
This is BOMA’s 50% rule.
67
This example shows the Tenant Gross area measured to the Glass Line because it
is more than 50% of the exterior wall.
Figure D - 4. Tenant Gross Area with Glass Line as Dominant Portion of Exterior Wall
Vertical Penetrations, such as stairs, elevators, and mechanical shafts, always
include their enclosing walls except at the building perimeter, where the boundary is
the “Dominant Portion” of the exterior wall.
Figure D - 5. Vertical Penetrations Polylines
68
Any wall that is adjacent to an open space should be polylined so that the wall is
included with the enclosed room, no matter what its classification is. For example,
in a core and shell office tower, all rooms in the core will be polylined to the outside
face of the core walls.
Figure D - 6. Interior Space adjacent to Interior Corridor
Interior Circulation spaces are p-lined last and almost never include walls within
their perimeters.
D - 7. Interior Corridor Polyline
Adjacent spaces are always p-lined at the Outside of adjoining walls.
69
Figure D - 8. Adjacent Spaces Polylines
All poly-lines must be closed and no space-enclosing polyline may overlap
another. There should be no gaps between p-lines delineating adjacent space.
Areas that are one square foot or less should be ignored.
The sum of the areas of all individual space p-lines shall equal the total area of the
tenant rentable “Office Area” p-line to within +/- 1% accuracy.

Request for Building Plans
From time to time, design and engineering firms receive requests for building plans
that appear unusual due to the structures identified in the requests, the type of
information solicited, or the persons or organizations making the request. While
most requests are likely to be routine and legitimate, design firms are advised to
exercise reasonable caution and good judgment in reviewing each request before
providing documents or plans to persons or organizations unknown to them.
To Report Suspicious Request
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) advises design firms to heighten
their awareness and to immediately report any suspicious requests to the
appropriate local FBI field office and to the National Infrastructure Protection Center,
at FBI headquarters. Please use the attached Building Plan Request Reporting
Form for this purpose.

FREE BIM Protocol Exhibit
Written by practitioners from across the industry, the new E202–2008 BIM Protocol document is an easy-to-understand
document that delivers what the industry needs -- a practical tool for using BIM across the project.
E202–2008 tackles head-on the following questions:
Who is responsible for each element of the model and to what level of development?
What are authorized uses for the model?
To what extent can users rely on the model?
Who will manage the model?
Who owns the model?
E202–2008 benefits users by specifying who is responsible for authoring each element of the model at each project
phase, so no major design elements are missed or left unaddressed.
It also defines the extent to which downstream model users, such as contractors and fabricators, can use and rely on the
model for scheduling, pricing, fabricating and construction.
By assigning management of the model to a specific party by project phase, there’s no confusion about who is managing
the model at any time. It also clarifies who owns the model and who has the right to use it.
Allowing for easy modification to add or delete model elements and to revise the required levels of development on a
project-by-project basis, it also establishes standards and file formats to promote interoperability across the project and
provides common definitions for terms, to avoid confusion.
AIA will not disseminate your information to any individual or organization.
