Managing Drawing Numbers for Multi-Site Project

Hi everyone,

 

I’m working on a drawing schedule for a project that includes two sites: a North site (Z1) and a South site (Z3). For our numbering format, we’re including the site code within each drawing number, which looks something like this: XX-XXX-XX-Z1-DR-000100.

 

The two sites may eventually connect, so we’re planning to keep both in one Revit file for ease of coordination. Both sites will follow the same drawing set, but I’m trying to decide on the best way to approach numbering so that each drawing has a unique identifier across both sites.

 

My current thought process is:

 

1. Option 1: Start the North site (Z1) numbering from 000100, and then, when the site code changes from Z1 to Z3 for the South site, also start numbering at 000100 for that site. However, this would mean that drawings from each site will technically share the same drawing numbers (e.g., both Z1 and Z3 would have a drawing numbered 000100).

2. Option 2: Keep the numbering completely unique across both sites by continuing the sequence from Z1 to Z3 without resetting, for example, Z1 could go from 000100 to 000149, and then Z3 could pick up from 000150.

 

The first option is tempting because it keeps each site’s drawing set clear and uniform, but I’m concerned about potential confusion from duplicated numbers in the Revit file. The second option, while resolving duplication, seems like it could create unnecessary complexity in tracking sequential numbering across the sites.

 

Has anyone dealt with a similar setup before? How did you handle the numbering to keep things clear but straightforward? I’d appreciate any insights on best practices. Also If there’s a way in Revit to allow the Revit sheet number parameter to allow duplicate number to help in a multi-site setup like this.

 

Thanks for any advice!

I think that if it is combined with structure, electricity, and mechanics, and also urban design, it will be a very large file, and if I am, I will work on two or more projects. This way, everything becomes easier.

 

and yes i had a something like this , i use the option two , 100-150 , 150-200 , 200-250 :but in middle of work we need some extra planes and our numbering system was not enough, for example we hadn't program for security planes and this was country system planes number or the lab plane , yaa it was nonsense and we found the way and managed them but if i will do it again i use the first option xx-xxxx-Z1-100 xx-xxxx-Z2-100 you can use the Z1 and Z3 whit two different project. 

 

Edited :

for example : 100 in both can be Siteplane or 110 can be underground or etc. same , if i was in your shoes, i think u should have the extra numbering system too for example for site plane is 100 and 101 Elevation so you may need 100 A,B,C too for siteplane Top of ground,or under ground for duct and pipes this is just example
