ISO 8560:1986 PDF Download

According to ISO 8560:1986, titled "Technical Drawings - Construction Drawings - Representation of Modular Sizes, Lines, and Grids," the standard provides guidelines for representing modular sizes, lines, and grids in construction drawings. The standard defines the basic module, M, as 100 mm (as determined by ISO 1006). This modular approach aims to facilitate planning and design work by providing standardized sizes and proportions.

The use of modular sizes allows for easier coordination and integration of different elements in construction projects. Additionally, the standard allows for the inclusion of multimodular grids in construction drawings. These grids can be used for orientation and location purposes in manufacturing and construction processes. However, it should be noted that the use of multimodular grids is limited.
