Using this approach means that everything is to the same OS datum and OS grid (OSG). It is increasingly the case, especially for large projects, that the Ordnance Survey (OS) datum is used as a project datum as it allows work on the site to be related to other features in the area, e.g manholes and sewers, local gradients etc. They should be clearly indicated on all relevant drawings with all levels described in metres to three decimal places but always as positive numbers because they are above datum level.
The levels usually refer to finished floor levels (FFL) but can also indicate other features e.g finished structural level (FSL)ĭatum levels are useful as they provide points of reference to allow the vertical setting out of buildings and how they relate to other levels on a site. So, in the case of the basement level referred to above, it may be given 0.000m as the site datum, in which case (following the logic from above) ground level = 3.250m ground floor = 4.000m first floor = 8.000m and so on. For this reason, a suitable fixed point (called a temporary benchmark – TBM) is assumed to ensure that all other levels are positive. However, minus signs can be easily misread, not seen or read as a dash, so can cause confusion. In contrast, a basement which will be below ground will be below datum level and will therefore have a minus symbol prefixed to it e.g -3.250m. The datum on a site can be given a 0.000m designation but this does not have to necessarily be outside ground level if it is, a ground floor may be at say, 0.750m and a first floor at 4.750 and so on proceeding up the building. It can show the vertical height difference between floor levels of a building as well as differences in levels between one part of the site and another.

The shapes example "Design elements - Dimensioning and tolerancing" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Mechanical Engineering solution from the ConceptDraw Solution Park.On a construction project, a datum level is an arbitrary horizontal plane of reference from which all vertical dimensions are measured. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features." It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of accuracy and precision is needed on each controlled feature of the part. It uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describes nominal geometry and its allowable variation. "Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances. Use these geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) shapes to create annotated mechanical drawings. The vector stencils library "Dimensioning and tolerancing" contains 45 symbols of geometric dimensions and mechanical tolerances, geometric symbols, callouts, and text boxes and inserts. The data model example "EXPRESS-G diagram - extended version of the DSCDM" was designed using ConceptDraw PRO software extended with EXPRESS-G solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. E.1, the "circled 1" and "circled 2" symbols associated with the used_ datum and comprised_ datum_ system attributes of the Datum_ usage_ in_ datum_ system entity indicate that in instances of the Datum_ usage_ in_ datum_ system entity, within Part 21 files, the used_ datum attribute value would be first, followed by the comprised_ datum_ system attribute value." McCaleb from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This data model example was drawn on the base of the Fig.E.1 in the article "A Conceptual Data Model of Datum Systems" by Michael R.
This EXPRESS-G diagram sample represents extended version of the Datum System Conceptual Data Model (DSCDM).
