Thanks for sharing @David Cutler

“…it was setup with clearly identified layers so that you can toggle off what you don’t need to see.” Agree with this, certainly related, teaching people pdf’s can have layers is also important and a step to reducing the plan types needed.

“If it was a nice straight job it would be great to plot out a single sheet that I could hang on the wall in the trailer without having to tape multiple sheets together.” Funny thing is designers do this during the early stages of design and then we chop it (additional time and money) to give it to contractors.

“Having sheet numbers to reference in correspondence, RFI responses and such are key to good documentation.” Could still have sheet numbers and we have alignments (in the world I’m use to) that could be referenced. Adding layers that can be manipulated would add a wringle, but maybe then there’s a “flat” contract plan and then a user friendly “smart” pdf.
