EXHIBIT “ “STANDARDS MANUAL FOR
i
Introduction This document provides City of Everett staff, and consultants, with the guidelines necessary to prepare construction documents in a manner that is useful to the City’s CAD, GIS and BIM systems. Deliberate effort was put into the development of these standards to:
• Pair well with software common to the industry. • Provide capability for all project sizes while minimizing complexity. • Adopt the accepted industry best practices for presentation graphics and electronic workflow.
Objectives include:
• Efficiently produced projects that clearly communicate engineering design intent. • Maximize use of built in automation to reduce error. • Rapid familiarization by new staff and consultants. • Consistent graphic style and CAD file structure throughout a project. • Ability to leverage 3D design data with GIS (Geographical Information System) BIM (Building
Information Modeling) and visualization tools. CAD work completed for the City of Everett Public Works Department, by staff or consultant on contract, must to adhere to the intent of these standards. Drawings and models that do not comply with these standards may not be accepted. This is a dynamic document and will change in response to customer needs, available resources and technological growth. Before starting a project, consultants are responsible to check the City of Everett website everettwa.gov or contact the CAD Manager for the latest revisions of these CAD Standards. It is highly recommended that there is a kickoff meeting that involves representation from the CAD staff responsible for production. Suggestions are welcome and are an important part of making these standards better. Thank you, Paul Wilhelm CAD Manager City of Everett (425) 257-8961 [email protected]

2018 – City of Everett Standards Manual for CIVIL CAD and Graphics 1
Quick Start Guide Project CAD document: Create this document to share contacts, CAD notes, deviations from standards, etc. CAD File format: Autodesk current and prevalent version. Check everettwa.gov or contact the City CAD
Manager ([email protected], 425-257-8961) for current CAD standards before you start your project. No custom menus, special fonts, or part catalogs required. City drawing templates are provided.
Naming convention: Where #### = the four digit work order number unique to each project
XREF base files X-####-DESCRIPTION.dwg (e.g. X-3424-SURVEY.dwg … the 2D survey base) Data Ref Source D-####-DESCRIPTION.dwg (e.g. D-3424-STRM.dwg … the stormwater pipe network) Layout sheet files ####-DrawingName.dwg (e.g. 3424-C1.dwg … sheet C1,no dash in drawing name) Sheet Set file ####-SHORT PROJECT NAME.dst (e.g. 3424-PARK AVE RAIN GARDEN.dst)
Datum: Horizontal: NAD83 with 1991 update, Vertical: NAVD88 Coordinate system: Washington State Plane – North Zone, Foot (Civil3D coordinate system code: WA83-NF) Templates: SheetSet : Everett-sheetset.dst 11x17 Titleblock : Everett11x17TB.dwt
Civil3D base : Everett-C3D-Design-2018.dwt 22x34 Titleblock (to modify) :Everett22x34TB.dwg Survey base : Everett-C3D-Survey-2018.dwt 22x34 Titleblock fields : Everett22x34layout.dwt Plan Production: Everett-22x34-PlanProf.dwt Cover Titleblock : Everett-Cover-2018.dwt
Create a Project Title block: Copy the Everett-11x17TB.dwg or Everett-22x34TB.dwg to your project folder. Rename and customize the copy. XREF it into each paperspace layout tab, scaled 1:1 and inserted at 0,0. Annotation: Must be consistent for all sheets.
• Preferred settings for existing survey text are Romans/0.10”high/40%screen/rotated to project view. • Preferred settings for proposed design annotation are Calibri/0.12”high/black. • There is flexibility for projects with extremely dense annotation. Be consistent for all sheets in the set.
o Existing text height can be 0.08” with design text 0.10”. o For Survey bases, Romans.shx may be used if using an Everett.lin custom linetype. o Surveyor and Design team coordination required for determination of font, rotation and height.
• Use the “Everett-“ Dimension and Multileader styles set up for 0.08, .010, and 0.12 in the templates. • “NOTE” and “VIEW” Titles are 0.15” with underline selected, not a separate line object.
Layers names: Follow National CAD Standards as closely as reasonable. (e.g. C-TOPO-MAJR-N) Plotting: Named plot styles are used and defined in the Everett-2016.stb. Set plot style (Black, Object Color, 40%
screen, or 60% screen) and lineweight (0.13, 0.30, 0.50, 0.80, 1.20) per layer. Set your Page Setup to Everett- 2016.stb and check the “display plot styles” box. It is helpful to have a white background in paperspace and turn on “Display lineweights” (LWDISPLAY). Toggle LWDISPLAY off when in model space.
Sheet Set Manager: Copy and modify Everett-Sheetset.dst in combination with the Everett22X34layout.dwt Electronic File Delivery: PDFs are to be created full size using the DWG TO PDF.PC3 with a paper size of 22”x34”
or 11”x17” as appropriate. To print a 22x34.pdf half size hardcopy, scale it at 50% (don’t simply print to fit). Abbreviations: Follow the standard abbreviations defined on the G2 sheet but spell words out when there is
room to do so. Don’t use periods at the end of abbreviations or short callout notes. Use periods at the end of complete sentences. When abbreviating the word typical use “(TYP)”.
Chapter 1 Setup, File Formats & Naming 1.1 Requesting Files
Request for copies of CAD files can be made to the CAD manager. Such data is provided for the convenience of the recipient only. This data is often gathered from a variety of sources and therefore may not conform to current CAD standards, may be incomplete or may not accurately reflect current conditions. The City of Everett makes no representation as to the completeness or accuracy of the data.
1.2 Drawing & File Formats for Submittals
The City uses the following software for CAD and BIM. The version adopted for use is the most prevalent current release. Due to lack of backwards compatibility with certain versions (2018 files are not compatible with 2016 software), coordination with all CAD team members is essential. As standard practice, check with City CAD Manager before starting your project.
• Autodesk AutoCAD based platforms: AutoCAD®, Civil 3D®, Map 3D®, Vehicle Tracking® (.dwg) • Autodesk InfraWorks 360®(.sqlite) • Autodesk Revit®: Structural and MEP (.rvt) • Autodesk Navisworks® (.nws) • Industry standard Landxml 2.0 (.xml) for Civil3D® surfaces
When consultants submit CAD files to the City they must conform to the current CAD Standards. It is the consultant’s responsibility to correct existing data provided, to the best of their ability, which could be obsolete, inaccurate or does not conform to the current City of Everett CAD standards.
Formats required for submittal of files to the City:

• As requested by the City of Everett project manager (PM) The City shall validate all CAD data and other materials that the consultant submits. If submittals do not conform to the CAD standards the City can reject the submittals from the consultant. The consultant is responsible for modifying the materials to conform to this document.
Include all electronic production files (e.g. External References, Images, Spreadsheets, Sheetset file, custom pipe catalogs, Data Shortcut source files and Data shortcuts folder tree) when submitting a project.
1.3 Media Types
Full size hard copy sets of plans are typically produced for the purpose of signing PE stamps and are plotted on 20# bond paper. These will be scanned to .pdf format. Electronic files may be sent on a DVD or a secure link may be requested to upload them to the City’s ftp site.
1.4 Plan Archiving
The City keeps .dwg files for the Bid and Record Sets for all projects. If there are significant changes to the bid set then a copy of the Construction/Conformed documents would also be kept.
1.5 File Naming Convention
The City uses a 4 digit City Work Order Number to track records for all projects. An additional prefix such as PW or UP with the number is not included in CAD file or folder naming. In CAD files it appears in the filename prefix. For example 3384-C1.dwg (layout sheet) or D-3384-STRM.dwg (data reference source file). The City uses the typical modular approach to building a drawing set. There are reference files that hold the design content and layout SHEETs that organize scaled views for plotting. These CAD files are sorted into a minimal number of folders, at least two, SHEET and REFERENCE (see next section). The \SHEET folder contains the layout sheets. The filenames include the city Work Order number and the drawing sequence number. Examples: 3384-C101.dwg single sheet (one layout tab) 3384-C102-C108.dwg multiple sheets (multiple layout tabs) The \REFERENCE folder contains the 2D external reference files, 3D data reference source files, Revit central file, Infraworks model export, Excel spreadsheet source data, and image files such as .PDF or .JPG. These have a prefix of D (Data Reference source file) or X (External Reference) and are demonstrated in the examples below. Common Examples: D-3384-ROAD.dwg Civil3D Road surfaces, corridors, profiles for design use D-3384-STRM.dwg Civil3D Storm Pipe Network design source file D-3384-SSWR.dwg Civil3D Sanitary Sewer Pipe Network design source file D-3384-EG-SURFACE.dwg Civil3D Existing Grade surface derived from survey data X-3384-SURVEY.dwg 2D survey planimetric linework and annotation X-3384-GIS 2D background generated from GIS data X-3384-ROAD.dwg Composite file setup for layout sheets, Profile views for plotting X-3384-STRM.dwg Composite file setup for layout sheets, Profile views for plotting X-3384-POND.dwg 2D CAD file of a pond design Do not use “BASE” as a filename (i.e., X-3384-BASE) since it is not descriptive enough. Similarly X-3384-STRM-BASE.dwg is redundant. Simply using X-3384-STRM is sufficient. Avoid using dates in filenames. At some point it will likely become obsolete or misleading and thus require a name change. Once the name of a reference file has changed it consumes time to fix the broken links. This process may also introduce errors or missing content when correcting the broken links.
`
PLEASE NOTE:
The folder structure listed above is intended for use on the City’s network and it is understood that the organization of project folders on another network will not be identical. Therefore, at a minimum, it is important to sort properly named CAD files into the appropriate \SHEET and \REFERENCE folders. Any filetype of reference used (.dwg, .jpg, .png, .pdf, .xls, etc.) for the project must be included in the \REFERENCE folder. When a project is compressed (zipped) into an archive and submitted to the City the entire \300 CAD-BIM folder tree is included.
Set this as the Civil3D® Data Shortcut Working folder. Also store the .zip (CAD files) of project design review levels here.
The Civil3D® Data Shortcuts Project Folder is automatically placed here when a NEW Project Folder is created.
All references used on the project, all file formats, go in here. Unused references are moved to the Archive folder.
All layout sheet files and the .dst file go here. Unused files are moved to the Archive folder.
Chapter 2 Project Setup
2.1 Sheet Size • Full size = “22x34” (ANSI D) • Half size = “11x17” (Tabloid)
2.2 Sheet and Drawing designation Sheet Number : The sequential placement in a document set (e.g. 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc.) Drawing Name : The unique discipline and identifier of a document (e.g. V1, C1, CD1, etc.)
2.3 Drawing Discipline Designation Table
Sheet Designation Discipline Description A, AD Architectural, Architectural Details
B Geotechnical C, CX, CD Civil (Road, Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer), Civil Demolition, Civil Details
D, DI Process, Process Instrumentation E, EC, EL, EP, ED Electrical, Elec. Communication, Elec. Lighting, Elec. Power, Elec. Details
G General (Notes, Cover, Vicinity Maps, Key Maps & Legend) H Hazardous Materials
I, IF, ID Interior, Interior Furnishings, Interior Details L, LI, LD Landscaping, Landscape Irrigation, Landscape Details M, MD Mechanical, Mechanical Details P, PD Plumbing, Plumbing Details Q, QD Equipment, Equipment Details R, RD Rail, Rail Details
S, SX, SD Structural, Structural Demolition, Structural Details T, TC, TD Traffic, Traffic Control, Traffic Details
U, UD Utilities (Cable, Gas, Fiber Optic), Utility Details V Survey Y Instrumentation & Control
W, WD Water Main, Water Main Details Z Contractor / Shop Drawings (only if being included in the set)
For example the first drawing name of the Civil series would be “C1” though it may also be sheet number 9 of 34 sheets.
Viewports of the same project location should have logical naming. For example the same intersection may have Water, Stormwater and Sewer plans labeled W12, C12, and C22 respectively.
Minor Designators for drawing names: • For large sets additional minor designators are optional. For example; CX (Civil Demolition), TD (Traffic
Details), SD (Structural Details), etc. Others may be helpful TC (Traffic Control), EL (Electrical Lighting), etc.
• Do not use decimal drawing names (C1.01, C1.02, etc.) or letter suffixes (C1a,C1b, etc.)
When assembling a contract document set the preferred discipline order is:
G V B H D C W Q U T R L A S Q M E P Y Z (see chart above for letter designations)

2.5 Starting a New Project The following is a step by step the workflow for setting up a new project.
1. Obtain a City of Everett Public Works 4 digit work order number. Shown as #### below 2. Create your project folders. See Section 1.6 Project Folder Structure 3. Copy four files (Everett-C3D-Design-2018.dwt, Everett-22X34TB.dwg, Everett-22x34TB-PlanProf.dwt
and Everett-22x34Layout.dwt) from the “Everett CAD 2018 Templates” folder to your project \REFERENCE folder.
a. Rename the three template files with your project’s prefix (i.e. ####-C3D-Design-2018.dwt, ####- 22x34TB-PlanProf.dwt and ####-22x34Layout.dwt)
b. Rename the titleblock XREF file with your Project’s XREF prefix (i.e. X-####-22X34TB.dwg) c. Open the templates ####-22x34TB-PlanProf.dwt and X-####-22x34Layout.dwt and change the
titleblock XREF to your project’s X-####-22x34TB.dwg 4. Customize your X-####-22X34TB.dwg with your Project name, consultant logo and P.E. Stamp as needed.
This Titleblocks will be XREFed into Layout sheets. 5. Open a blank drawing (Drawing1.dwg is fine)and start a new SheetSet
a. Select the example .dst and choose Everett-sheetset.dst b. Save your sheetset in your project \REFERENCE folder in the format ####-ShortProjectName
6. Open your new SheetSet a. set your template path to your project’s X-####-22x34Layout.dwt b. set your Page Setup Overrides to your project’s X-####-22x34Layout.dwt. You will experience very
slow response times if you skip this step and Sheet Set Manager cannot find a template it is looking for.
c. Modify the names of your Subsets as needed. They can be used to organize your sheets as you need. Often these are Street Names and are used in the titleblock’s third line of the sheet title.
d. When you add new sheets under these subset, they would normally have a title “STA _+00 TO STA _+00” of that street.
e. Rename & Renumber sheets and their corresponding .dwg filenames. See section 1.5 File Naming Convention
f. Create new a Cover sheet (G1) and Legend sheet (G2) from the templates Everett-Cover-2018.dwt and Everett-Legend-2018.dwt located in the “Everett CAD 2018 Templates” folder.
i. The Cover sheet is designed to have the middle area modified as needed for your project. Titles and approval blocks around the edge stay where they are though.
ii. The Legend sheet will need to have title block referenced link updated to your project (X- ####-22X34TB.dwg).
Chapter 3 Reference Files
3.1 Where to place content
All relevant reference files for a single project are kept in that project’s \300 CAD-BIM\REFERENCE folder. Filetypes include: Autodesk .dwg and .dwt; jpg or .png images; .pdf and .doc documents; .xls spreadsheet, and .csv and .txt files.
3.1a Model Space
• Model content. Always drawn at full scale (Civil: 1 unit = 1’, Architectural: 1 unit = 1”). • Civil3D objects (Pipe networks, Surfaces, Alignment, etc.) • Civil profile or section views. Vertical can be exaggerated, horizontal remains at full scale. • Annotation, Sheet Set Data fields, and schedules. Scale appropriately to plot correctly. • Model space content is scaled into a Paper space viewport for plotting at 1:1. • Assigning object attributes (color, lineweight, linetype, or plot style) by entity is highly
discouraged. This is because of the difficulty required to locate these items when needing to change how they display.
3.1b Paper Space
• Not used on reference files for the purpose of creating published documents.
In order to organize the CAD files some helpful conventions are used.
3.2 External References (the X- prefix) In order to facilitate coordination of base files ensure that:
• External reference (XREF) 2D files are kept in the \REFERENCE folder and have a filename prefix of “X-“ • Name the XREF per City standards. See Chapter 1 • DVIEW twist is set to 0.00° • UCS is set to “World” • INSBASE is set to (0,0,0) • Insert at (0,0,0) with scale factor of 1. • Civil bases follow the City of Everett coordinate system as defined in the Survey section of this manual.
“NAD83 Washington State Planes, North Zone, US Foot”. (WA83-NF) • XREFs are only loaded as necessary. Upon final delivery, detach unused XREFs and images. • The unaltered original survey is archived in project’s \200 Support Files\210 Survey. Survey updates
are organized in subfolders having the date reference as part of the name. • The current working survey base file (copied from the original) is kept in the project’s “310
WORKING\REFERENCE” folder. • XREF files are attached as OVERLAYS to prevent circular references and slow drawing load times. • Keep the XREF drawings original file name in the External Reference manager dialog box, no aliases. This
is important when trying to locate a missing file.
• Referenced files should be inserted on a layer such as “X-XREF” or separate layers such as “C-XREF- (BASE, STRM, SSWR, WATR)”. Overall visibility can be controlled by “Reload or Unload” Status and selectively by the referenced drawing’s layer.
• Files that are not copied to the REFERENCE folder but XREFed from outside the project file structure must be bound (using bind type “Insert”).
3.3 Civil3D Data Reference source files (the D- prefix)
In the current version of Civil3D the file path link between a file using a data reference and its source file are absolute. Therefore when project files are relocated the data links are broken. This is a common occurrence when files are submitted to the City or a folder is renamed. It is vital to properly name the source files (so the links can be found and repaired more easily) and include them with the submittal. Typically the tools provided by Autodesk to repair links are effective. These are _AeccManageDataShortcuts (from the command line) and the Data Shortcuts Editor program.
• Data reference source files are kept in your project \REFERENCE folder and have a filename prefix of “D-
“. These files contain Civil3D data objects (pipe networks, surfaces, alignments, etc.) which are Data Referenced into other Civil3D drawings instead of being XREFed.
• Use care in choosing filenames and object names since repairing a broken link is error prone and time consuming. If you are creating an object that could be used for the duration of your project then the name should be appropriate at the various milestones.
• The Data shortcut folder tree should be compressed (zipped) and included with the file submittal. • The “Working Folder” is set to the
project’s \300 CAD-BIM folder (circled in red)
• The “Data Shortcuts Project Folder” under that. (circled in Blue) See section 1.6 Project Folder Structure.
• All files within a project should have their “project associated” to them. (circled in green)
Chapter 4 Layout files and the Sheetset 4.1 Where to place content
All relevant layout (sheet) files for a single project are organized in that project’s \300 CAD-BIM\SHEET folder. Filetypes include Autodesk .dwg and .dst
4.1a Model Space • Model content. Always drawn at full scale (Civil: 1 unit = 1’, Architectural: 1 unit = 1”). • Civil3D Data Referenced objects (Pipe networks, Surfaces, Alignment, etc.) • Civil profile or section views. Vertical can be exaggerated, horizontal remains at full scale. • Annotation, Sheet Set Data fields, and schedules. Scale appropriately to plot correctly. • Model space content is scaled into a Paper space viewport for plotting at 1:1. • Assigning object attributes (color, lineweight, linetype, or plot style) by entity is highly discouraged. This is
because of the difficulty required to locate these items when needing to change how they display.
4.1b Paper Space • Not used on reference files for the purpose of creating published documents. • Contains viewports for displaying scaled views of objects in model space. • Contains titleblocks, matchlines and their labels, view titles, Sheet Set data fields • May contain legends, common notes, status block, and P.E. stamps.
4.1 Titleblocks
Drawing files created by or submitted to the City use the standard City title blocks. There are different formats designed for specific purposes. The 22x34 format is used for construction documents while 8½x11 and 11x17 formats are intended for simple exhibits.
Template files for design documents: • “Everett-Cover-2018.dwt” (Cover sheet, see section 2.4 Required Project Drawings) • “Everett-Legend-2018.dwt” (Legend and abbreviations sheet, see section 2.4 Required Project
Drawings) • “Everett-22x34Layout.dwt” (layout sheet). This .dwt XREFs your project’s customized titleblock
border X-####-22X34TB.dwg which should be located in the \REFERENCE folder.
Layout Sheet:
NOTE: The Drawing Name, Sheet Number, Subset, and Sheet Title shown in the Titleblock above (indicated by the orange callout) are Sheetset controlled fields.
Templates for Exhibits: Simplified borderless titleblocks in landscape format. They include standard text styles, layers, Multileaders, Dimensions. These are not used with Sheet set Manager and use Mtext for the drawing title.
• “Everett-8.5x11TB-Landscape.dwt” • “Everett-11x17TB-Landscape.dwt”
11x17 exhibit titleblock shown (8½x11 is similar):

For City Standard drawings (only used by the City’s CAD department): These standalone sheets have a specific purpose of portraying City of Everett standard drawings in the “Design and Construction Standards and Specifications for Development” document, Volume II.
• “Everett-11x17-DCSS.dwt” It is in 11x17 landscape format and Xrefs the “COE STD DWG TB Tabloid Lower Rt.dwg” into paper space.
4.2 Sheet Set Manager (DST)
The Sheet Set Manager is used to create, organize, annotate and publish projects. It is defined in a .dst file that is stored in the project’s \300 CAD-BIM\SHEET folder. The SSM is set up and used by all projects prepared by City however on small projects (containing 6 sheets or less) a consultant may simply use text in place of the fields built in to the titleblock .dwt.
All of the DWT files have been designed to handle Sheet Set Manager fields. The Sheet Set template is named Everett-sheetset.dst
Sheetset customization
The subsets shown in the template (G-General, C-Civil, etc.) are intended to be modified and/or deleted to match the needs of each project.
Fields filled out automatically on each sheet. Replaces plot stamp
Non-plotting viewport. All content and annotation of this file reside in model space.

Only the titleblock xref and the title annotation reside in paperspace.
Freeze layer for final plot
4.3 Template Plan Production Tools Due to the linear nature of many City projects a standard titleblock template “EVT-22x34TB-PlanProf.dwt” for use with Civil3D’s Plan Production Tools has been developed.
Order of workflow:
1. Set up your standard project folder structure. 2. Set up your project SheetSet. (see Section 4.2 Sheet Set Manager (DST)
) 3. Copy the Everett-22x34TB-PlanProf.dwt template to your project \REFERENCE folder and rename
the copy to match your project. a. Scale is set for 1”=20’ which will display 500’ at a time. Modify scale and resize as you need.
The viewports have already been configured to display the Plan view above the Profile. b. Modify the project name in the title block to match your other sheets. c. The plan production styles and labeling have already been set up in this template too.
4. Create your project view frames drawing (D-####-Viewframes.dwg) a. Data Reference in your alignment or create a new alignment if you don’t have one. b. Data Reference in or create your Existing and Finished grade surfaces.
5. Run the Output|CreateView Frames wizard. a. Name the View Frame Group to your street name b. Choose the “SH-North” North Arrow Block
6. Adjust your view frames and matchlines. 7. Run the Output|Createsheets
a. Set your paths correctly in order to keep all of your sheets together. b. Choose the Sheet Set you set up for your project to organize the new files
8. Use your project’s Sheet Set to rename/renumber your drawings.
Viewport for Profile set to 1”=20’ scale. It is 25” wide and spans 500’ in model space
Viewport for Plan view set to 1”=20’ scale. It is 25” wide and spans 500’ in model space

4.5 Layouts
It is often convenient to have multiple layout tabs in a single layout drawing. However, a large number of tabs can increase file size and increase initial load time. A file of average complexity and typical computer might reasonably contain 6 tabs. A titleblock is to be placed in each paperspace tab. A layout tab can have multiple viewports. Viewports are created on layer “C-ANNO-VFRM”, which is a non-plotting layer. Do not put a viewport on layer “0” or “Defpoints”.
4.6 Drawing Rotation for Plotting
Survey site information must not be rotated from survey North or translated from the Washington State Plane – North Zone coordinate system. However, paperspace views of an area are routinely rotated to make efficient use of the drawing sheet. In this case the viewport is rotated and “VPCLIPped” as needed. Custom modelspace views can be created to ease daily design work but it is highly preferable to set the current view back to World UCS before submitting it to City.
4.7 Civil3D Object information display and labeling Civil3D’s dynamic engineering model maintains object data which is used to create labels. It makes sense to agree on where certain information is placed. While most objects have defined choices, there are places where it is left up to the user to input what is desired. In order to use the City of Everett label styles as they are designed the following instructions apply.
1. Surface naming • Include the “short project name” or “work order number” as a prefix or
suffix with EG to designate the surface as the existing grade. For example, EG 3629 or EG_PineStreet. This creates a unique identification of this important surface while allowing it to remain consistent for the duration of the project.
• Don’t use a date as part of the Surface name. If the surface is data referenced throughout the project and name changes it can be difficult to correct. Use the description box to provide this sort of information.
• If you create volume surfaces then prefix the names of those with “Volume“ then “(Base surface - Comparison surface)”. For example, Volume (EG-Pond). With this method you will be able to maintain order even if you have many surfaces or if someone else has to work on your model.
2. Gravity Pipe Networks
Pipes: o For proposed pipes
displayed in the foreground use the pipe style “EVT-Solid (plan) Double (Profile)” to depict pipes. The pipe is drawn as a solid line in the actual width.
o For 2D existing pipes displayed as background, such as survey, the linetypes would apply.
o When an existing pipe is recreated in Civil3D it should be assigned the “EVT-Nodisplay (plan) Double (profile)” style and set to the appropriate layer for existing pipe. The purpose is to display just one instance of the pipe (from the 2D Survey) on the plan view yet see the location (shown as a hidden line) on the profile when desired.
o When labeling pipes in plan view, the most common plan view label style is “EVT- PLAN”, which displays the inside diameter and the type (e.g. 12” SD), and the pipes are shown solid with actual width. This label should be moved on the pipe or dragged to a location when necessary for readability.
o In the situation where a pipe is not shown on a Profile yet that amount of information is desired then the “EVT-PROF” label style should also be used in plan view.
o The City of Everett does not typically callout pipe materials since this information is contained in the specifications. Therefore the label simply shows the pipe diameter and type (SD, CS, SS, W, etc. which is kept in the description box). If a pipe material is to be shown then this box is the correct place. The material field in the Pipe Properties box it is not used to populate the labels due to the lack of options in the “out of the box” catalog and its infrequent use.
Structures: o There are four Civil3D styles for gravity structures to use. One
for all MHs and 3 for CBs. The cylindrical structures are scaled to actual size based on the diameter set in the structure properties. The rectangular Type 1 and 1L are set to actual size.
o When labeling structures in plan view, the preferred structure label is “EVT- PLAN” which contains the Name, Description, Station and offset, and Rim elevation. Connected pipes are typically shown on the Profile.
o Enter the Name of a structure into the Structure Properties using Structure type then numerical sequence. At a minimum, enter the type of structure and size into the Description.
Profile View Pipes: o The preferred label style for a pipe in a profile
view is “EVT- PROFILE” and displays the computed inside diameter, type, 2D length in lineal feet and slope. (e.g. 12” 24LF SD S=.0200). Drag the label off of the pipe if needed.
Structures: o The preferred label style for structures is “EVT-
PROFILE”. It contains the Structure name, Rim elevation, and pipe inverts. Location information is shown on the plan view.
o When you need to identify structures that are not on the alignment or are not the purpose of your layout, the structure label style “EVT-PLAN & PROF [name only]” should be used.
3. Pressure Pipe Networks
Similar to gravity pipe standards with a few exceptions.
o There is just one pipe label style “EVT-PLAN & PROF”. o The diameter and material are included in the description. The label style uses only the pipe
description to build the label. o The callouts, dragged labels, and Mleaders are all splined. This is peculiar to pressure system
plans and profiles since the information tends to be grouped in tight clusters and straight leaders would be more difficult to see. Straight leaders are consistently used elsewhere.
4. Profile grade lines
Profile styles are named according to how they display (Red-dashed, Green-solid, etc.) rather than their purpose (Existing Road Centerline, Proposed Pond, etc.) The purpose is to minimize the number of profile styles while giving you the choice you need.
Chapter 5 Layers 5.1 Industry CAD Layering Systems
The City of Everett uses the National CAD (NCS) and BIM standards as the basis for all design and land surveying work. Projects not conforming to this standard may cause rejection of the plans. Design projects for buildings using Building information Modeling (BIM) will utilize Revit and follow the BIM standards manual.
For more information about NCS, visit ‘www.nationalcadstandard.org’ 5.2 Layer Name Format
There are four field types organized as a hierarchy – Discipline Designator, Major Group, Minor Groups, and an optional Status Field – each separated by a dash. The layer name format allows the user to include field codes to the desired level of detail. The following is a description of the fields used.
5.3a Discipline Designator
The first character of the Discipline Designator denotes the category of subject matter contained on the specified layer. The second character is a modifier to the first character, sometimes describing the source of the information on the layer.
AA - BBBB - CCCC - DDDD - E
5.3b Major Group The Major Group denotes the main group of the subject matter.
5.3c Minor Groups
The optional Minor Groups denote a more detailed breakdown of the major group. This is usually one or two fields.
5.3d Status (Phase) The optional Status (Phase) field denotes the status of the work or a construction phase.
5.3 Layer Organization The level of detail required within a project is coordinated with the City of Everett project manager and the CAD Manager. Objects can be organized by the number of groups used.
Example: C-WATR-LINE This forces all proposed water lines, regardless of size or material, to be combined on one layer. This allows the visibility to be controlled with a single layer selection.
C-WATR-12DI-LINE Proposed water lines are placed on separate layers according to size and material. They can then be selectively controlled within a viewport.
5.4 Complete List of Codes to Populate Layer Name Fields
The following tables show the codes used in the City standard within each of the four fields of the layer name format. The codes shown here represent a subset of the complete NCS Layer Guidelines. In addition to these codes, new codes (shown bold & italics) were created by the City to help define categories unique to the City’s needs – a practice allowed by the NCS. The definitions of selected codes that were already defined in NCS were not changed.
The template files ”Everett-C3D-Design-2018.dwt” and Everett-C3D-Survey-2018.dwt” are supplied to be used with the “DesignCenter” (ADCENTER) that contains the majority of the City layer names with the appropriate properties. All layers have a Discipline Designator “##” this saved duplicating layer names for all possible disciplines. By dragging the appropriate layer name into a drawing and assigning the desired Discipline Designator all of the appropriate properties will be set. Most importantly the syntax, linetype, and layer description have been preset. The other properties such as Color are solely dependent on operator preference on their monitor; Plot Style is dependent on how the finished plot is to appear.
5.4a Common Discipline Designators:
Additional Discipline Designators can be added with approval of the City CAD manager. The Discipline Designator is intended to denote both discipline and responsibility for the work.

Chapter 6 Blocks (Symbols) 6.1 Block Creation
The standard blocks provided in the CAD standard file distribution were adapted from APWA and generally accepted civil engineering practices. All Topography, Utility, Surface Features, and Mapping blocks/symbols are only developed by the City under the approval and direction of the CAD manager. All approved blocks/symbols are contained in “EVT-Symbols” directory. The City develops one block for all conditions (Existing, New, Demolished, Future, Temporary, etc). The visibility/appearance is controlled by the block layer properties. This facilitates translation of the entity from exist to demolished/removed or new to existing after installation.
6.2 Block Rules for Creation, Storing and Use
• Define blocks on layer “0”. • Set Plot Style, Color and Lineweight to bylayer (layer and .stb controls) • Draw blocks full scale, when possible, to show conflict problems. City CAD manager may
permit exceptions based on visibility at 1”=20’ scale. • Create blocks with an insertion point related to normal field construction installation (e.g.
water valves on pipe centerline) • Attribute text styles follow the text style standards in this manual. • Blocks are filed in the “EVT-Symbols” overall directory. There are sub-directories for Model
Space and Paper Space blocks. • Block naming syntax consists of a 2 letter discipline prefix, a single dash, and an intuitive
name.
The file “EVT-Templates\BASIC\ EVT-BLOCKS ONLY.dwg” is supplied to be used with ADCENTER (Autodesk DesignCenter) that contains a majority of the City’s blocks. This allows individual blocks to be dragged into an open drawing file. Use of non-standard or unapproved blocks in a drawing file may result in the file not being accepted.
The following blocks, used with Civil3D styles, are more useful with explanation. These are used by structure styles and are scaled to actual size for precise placement in the design file. This provides an accurate center of structure location when you are using Stations and Offsets or Site Coordinates in your labels. UT-CB-TYPE1 and UT-CB-TYPE1L blocks:
• Non-plotting guidelines (shown in cyan) are provided.
• A small circle that should be used as to locate the structure at the gutter flow line.
UT-MH and UT-CB-TYPE2 blocks: • Non-plotting guidelines (shown in cyan) are provided. • Rotate tick mark to indicate the rotation angle of the eccentric cone.

Chapter 7 Displaying Lines, Screens and Transparency 7.1 General Lineweight It is important for the CAD operator to skillfully use lineweight on their drawings to differentiate the important subject from the background. The full range of more than 20 lineweights may be used but 0.13mm, 0.30mm, 0.50mm, and 0.80mm are preferred. These lineweights are set per layer. On rare occasions a lineweight might be set to an entity but this is highly discouraged.
• 0.13mm (fine) o Dimension leaders o Low priority information o Fine object details o Hidden linetype o Table data cell divider
• 0.30mm (medium) o Common object lines o Medium priority information
• 0.50mm (bold) o Prominent object lines o High priority information o Proposed construction items o Title text
• 0.80mm (extra bold) o Table outlines and other borders o Rebar
Screening and transparency Screening and transparency may be used in combination with any lineweight. The Everett-2016.stb Plot Style table provides 40% and 60% screen. Note that a screened object may plot on top of a solid black object if the draw order is incorrect. However an object with transparency still shows objects underneath. Both options may be employed. If you choose to use transparency then the “Plot options - Plot transparency” must be selected. The Civil3D styles for profile view gridlines are set up to use transparency. Transparency is also frequently used instead of a concrete or dot hatch patterns where the area to be pattern can make readability difficult.
Linetypes The City of Everett uses two methods to denote object lines in a CAD file. In 2D AutoCAD custom linetypes are used to differentiate pipe information. The Everett.lin file still provides hundreds of linetypes for this purpose. With Civil3D styles, pipes and labels are used together to display pipes. Selected typical linework settings (also see Section 8)
Description Lineweight Plotstyle Existing survey linework (curbs, landscape, annotation, etc.) .13 40%screen Existing survey Utility pipes and structures .13 60%screen Callouts and Dimensions (Calibri truetype font and does not use lineweight) .13 Black Titles (with underline) .50 Black Proposed topography contours (major / minor ) .30 / .13 Black Proposed utility structure outlines (pipes are actual width) .50 Black Viewframes (set to not plot) .09 normal Profile gridlines (transparency set to 70, plot with transparency checked yes) .35 Black Boundary around enlarged detail area (Dashed linetype) .80 Black
7.2 Custom Annotative Linetypes
AutoCAD standard line types should be used when possible but custom linetypes are also used to make a drawing set more readable. Complex Linetype definitions have been developed where the descriptive text is imbedded in the definition showing the function of the line or pipe represented. These definitions utilize the AutoCAD default text style “Standard” (which is set to “romans.shx”). All of the lines included in “Everett.lin” file have been developed based on a plotted scale of 1”=20’. The drawing variables “ltscale & psltscale” should be left at the default of 1. Lines will appear the same in the typical layout. In model space set your viewing scale to 1”=20’. All custom line types created for the City CAD Standards are contained in the Everett.lin file. There is one custom .shx (EVT-Shapes.shx) used to create the squiggle for the ditch linetype.
7.2a Naming Syntax
In order to sort and find what you need among the hundreds of linetypes that are used a standardized naming convention has been developed.
• Linetype syntax
-EV
HF
o BBBB=Major category o CCCC=Secondary category o DDDD= Descriptors as needed o HF=Alternate linetype use with scales less than 1”=20’
7.2b Creation Criteria
• The overall appearance of the plotted line was determined by its appearance and clarity within a 1”=20’ scale viewport (the most commonly used).
Note: All other scales must be approved by the City of Everett Project Manager. • The standard line type name consists of three fields separated by a hyphen.
o The first field consists of “-EV-“. o The second field is a short abbreviation/description of the line’s intended use or discipline (see table below). o The third field indicates the annotation used in annotated line types. In non- annotated
line types this field is used as a short, more definitive description. o An optional forth field can be used for further clarification. For example, REV would
indicate the line appears the opposite of a line type with the same name (only used on directional lines). The use of HF is intended to indicate a line type which repeats in approximately half the distance as the line with the same name.
• Standard AutoCAD default text style is used in all annotated line types. • Text in annotated line types is intended to have a height of 0.12” in all standard 1”=20’
viewports. • The same line type is used to represent existing, new, to be removed, etc. The properties of
the layer containing the line will determine the appearance of the line.
When working in model space it may be desirable to set the LTSCALE from 1 to 20. This will display the line spacing and text as it would in a standard 1”=20’ scale viewport. However, since the LTSCALE variable is a drawing standard variable and not controlled by the layout the LTSCALE=20 must be returned back to LTSCALE=1 before printing the layout sheets.

Chapter 8 Annotation
8.1 Text Styles The City uses the Calibri Truetype font for annotation and titles. The Autodesk Romans.shx font is used for the custom linetypes and remains in the definition of the “Standard” style. As the “Text Style” dialog box shows below, there are several other Everett styles preset in the template. The styles “Everett” and “Legend” are Calibri with a text height of 0.0 and not annotative. The Everett styles that are annotative are named according to their Paperspace height.
Must be consistent for all sheets. • Preferred settings for existing survey text are Calibri/0.10”high/40%screen/rotated to typical project
view. • Preferred settings for proposed design annotation are Calibri/0.12”high/black. • There is flexibility for projects with extremely dense annotation. Be consistent for all sheets in the set.
o Existing text height can be 0.08” with design text 0.10”. o For Survey bases, Romans.shx may be used if using an Everett.lin custom linetype. o Surveyor and Design team coordination required for determination of font, rotation and
height. • Use the “Everett-___“ Dimension and Multileader styles set up for 0.08, .010, and 0.12 in the templates. • “NOTE” and “VIEW” Titles are 0.15” with underline selected, not a separate line object.
8.2 Dimension Styles
• The appearance of dimensions should appear the same through all projects. Dimensions may be put on a general layer such as “C-ANNO-DIMN or C-ANNO-DIMN-E” or specific layers such as “C-WATR-DIMN).
• Three annotative dimension styles “EVT-0.12, EVT-0.10 and EVT-0.08” are provided
to match the chosen text height of the project.
• Dimensions, like other annotation, are usually located in model space.
• The first line of dimension text is placed above the line with the second line below. Text is parallel to the line.
• Dimension variables such as color, linetype, and visibility are controlled by layer.
• Dimension text locations and orientations may be adjusted for drawing clarity.
• Do not EXPLODE dimensions.
Dimension and view title examples:
8.3 Callouts for section, elevation and detail On a plan view drawing:
There are two blocks to remember. EVT-Section_Cut and EVT-Detail_Callout. For easy recognition they are the same size on plan and detail sheets. View titles are simply formatted text. The title is 0.24” and underlined. The scale is part of the same MTEXT and is 0.12” high. If there is more than one line for the title then only the bottom line underlined. Callouts and titles are placed on appropriate annotation layers which have a lineweight of 0.30mm. Callouts:
Leaders, Notes and Bubbles:
For clarity, leaders from text, multileaders and bubbles are typically straight and aligned when possible. One exception being Water drawings where splines are preferred. Text is left justified and notes are aligned vertically when possible. The left attachment for leaders is the middle of the top line while the right attachment is the middle of the bottom line.
View Titles:
On a detail drawing: There are two blocks that are used together. EVT-Detail_Callout and EVT-DETAIL_SECTION_TITLE. In the example below you can see one is selected and the grips are showing. EVT-DETAIL_SECTION_TITLE is a dynamic (stretchable) block that snaps on to the right side quadrant of the EVT-Detail_Callout circle. Stretch the title line out so that it is the approximate width of the detail it denotes. When laying out a detail sheet line up the titles vertically and horizontally whenever possible. Use a letter designation for Sections and Elevations and a number designation for Details.
Detail titles are placed on appropriate annotation layers which have a lineweight of 0.30mm.
Within a detail: Since space is tight within a detail and a section is usually shown right next to where it is cut a smaller symbol is used. For this purpose there is the EVT-Section_Cut-mini block. It is dynamic (rotate, flip, stretch, and keep the letters upright). It is placed on appropriate annotation layers which have a lineweight of 0.30mm. Titles are a MTEXT, 0.15” high, underlined, and are placed on appropriate annotation layers which have a lineweight of 0.30mm.
8.4 Other Callouts
Matchlines and Continuation In many cases it is preferable to simply direct the viewer to another sheet for continuation and a matchline is not needed or beneficial. In such a case use MTEXT, 0.15” high, underlined (%%U) or overlined (%%O) as appropriate, on the layer C-ANNO- MTCH-TEXT (0.30mm), and aligned with the edge of the view. The viewport should have some overlap to see the stationing. Placement of the text should be approximately 0.1” away from the edge of the viewport and in an area where it is clearly visible. The text is located on edges of both the plan and profile and reads “SEE DRAWING ____”. When using Sheetset Manager the drawing name should be used as a field. There are no other blocks to use.
When a matchline is required then it reads as follows: “MATCHLINE STA __+__ SEE DRAWING ____”. It is used in conjunction with a line on the C-ANNO-MTCH layer (0.30mm, dashed, black). The line is precisely on the station and perpendicular to the alignment.

Chapter 9 Plotting
The City of Everett uses the style based plotting method of creating plots. This provides multiple advantages. • Lineweights and transparency stay with the drawing and are thus what the designer intended. They
are embedded into the .dwg instead of being interpreted through a table at plot time (when using the Everett-2016.stb).
• No complex tables to learn. • Freedom to directly choose any combination of lineweight, color, screen or transparency without
complexity. • WYSIWYG viewing in paper space (with Display Plot Styles selected and using a white background) • Allows objects to be organized by color for lineweight or function, yet plot with the correct weight. • Compatibility with backgrounds exported from other Autodesk products such as Revit®, Infraworks®
and Inventor® already have the lineweight set. • Easier conversions between other CAD standards.
The Everett-2016.stb is designed to work with documents plotted at 1:1 scale. For example, a full size sheet (22”X34”) is plotted at 1:1. When plotting that same sheet half size (11”x17” at 1:2) the scale lineweight box must be selected. When printing a .dwg file exported from a Revit model using the AIA standards, the “NCS 4.0.stb” should be used since it is also based on the object lineweight setting designated in the Layer. If you are converting from the previous City of Everett CAD standard a helpful conversion table has been provided in Appendix C, Helpful References that compares the EVERETT.stb to the EVERETT-2016.stb.
9.1 Colors
Under the City system the color of an entity does not necessarily signify line weight. The colors assigned in the templates were based on designer’s choices for ease of viewing. Some individuals may prefer to assign colors to layers based on line weight. This a matter of personal preference.
9.2 Styles based Plotting
The City uses a named based plot style Everett-2016.stb. The color table (.ctb) method is not used. Even if you are missing this .stb file for some reason it is easy to recreate.
9.3 Plotted Lineweight, Colors & Screening Density
The Lineweight (common use is 0.13, 0.30, 0.50 and 0.80) and Plot Style (Black, Object Color, or Screened) is assigned to each layer. An important benefit to this method is that you can check “Display Plot Styles” from the page setup for WYSIWYG viewing in your Paper Space layout. This is best viewed when using a white background. Toggle LWDISPLAY off in model space because scale varies depending in zoom.
9.4 Plotter Settings
• Everett-2016.stb is selected. • For creating pdfs the “DWG To PDF.pc3” driver is preferred. • Plot with transparency is typically selected. • The “Plot stamp on” box is not selected. The plot information fields are already in the binding edge of
the paper space layout.

Chapter 11 Plan Phases
11.1 General A “snapshot” of the CAD files are to be taken at various times during the project: • Design review levels (30%, 60%, 90%).
Required for review, can be deleted after Bid (100%) Set
• Prior to major changes (recommended), can be deleted after Bid (100%) Set
• Milestones o Bid (100%) This is often the basis
for the Record Drawings and is comprised of the files that produced the full size set that was wet signed by the project engineer. Required until Record Drawings are created.
o Construction or conformed. Supercedes the Bid set files.
o Record Drawing. Required for archiving.
This “snapshot” is typically done using the ETRANSMIT command which creates a .zip file. The file name includes; Work Order#, project name, description of phase, and date created. Include all referenced files needed to produce hardcopy (dwg, dwt, dst, jpg, jpw, png, pdf, xls).
