Ethan R. Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hey Everyone .. So realizing my sheet #'s are just sort of Random. I use the A-1, A-2, for major Groundplans R-1, R-2 for Renderings then it gets foggy L-1 could be "L"obby or "L"unch ! Does anyone have a good system? Would be great if we all used the same! thanks Quote Link to comment
Ethan R. Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 yeah - I saw this .. but this has nothing to do with Theatrical / Events. Looking for something that is a little more pertinent to the industry? Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Apologies - I just noticed that you did post in the Spotlight forum; I didn't know you were looking just for Theatrical / Event specific. I'll delete my reply ^^^ as it's off-topic. Edited October 9, 2015 by rDesign Quote Link to comment
Ethan R. Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 sorry Tim - just re-read my response - and it reads like it came from a guy tired at the end of the week! Thank you for taking the time to answer best Ethan Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 No worries- it's all good! I hope you get your answer as it's good to follow standards - whatever the specific industry. Quote Link to comment

JBenghiat Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Generally I'm just sending one drawing set, so will just label in order --e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. In architecture you have multiple disciplines merging files into one drawing set for contract documents and DOB submission. Typically, in theater, every department just produces its own drawing set, so all the drawings would be in the same section anyway. We also don't have the scores of pages you find in architectural packages. If you are coming more from a events or production management perspective, you might differentiate by department. I haven't really seen much of a standard, but I think typically the organization would be for internal coordination, so whatever makes sense for your organization. I've also seen numbers to differentiate -- 100 for set, 200 for lx, 300 for sound, 400 for rigging, etc. -Josh Quote Link to comment
RMittleider Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This discussion is. I hope others will speak up about how they work. Because I use the publish function and print to pdf, I find that using the name of the show in the number (i.e. [Corporate company name] 1) it will auto name the pdf file with both the show name and the drawing name. This makes my show files more organized. Quote Link to comment
Mike Wright Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm generally a bit disorganised but try to use something along the lines of: [sHOW NAME] [sUB SHOW] [DEPARTMENT] V[VERSION MUMBER]. [REVISION NUMBER] [PLOT SIZE] [sCALE] So it Might be 'Alitalia Reveal Main Room LX V3.1 A1 1_100' for rendering i tend to use a camera name ie 'CAM REAR Stage Left' I also tend to keep past versions in a 'bin' folder within the project folder otherwise i get myself in a real mess of course the more frequent and ridiculous the client's requests get the less organised I become.
