Category Naming for Data
Both block naming and the layering system use categories to identify each element type.
These are based on the Revit categories used to define building elements and broken down to 3-digit codes. It has been necessary to break down large categories with a second field and add Graphics as shown in the table below:
|
Category Code 1
|
|
Category Code 2
