Hi Deborah,
Colors make sense, especially after
reading your link to A&E.
Cheers,
Bob

I've been working on the colors for the code templates. It was an
obvious choice to use red for the fire station but all 10 facility types got a
little tougher. Please see the attached if you think these colors make
sense. This sheet is a bit of a mess but at least there is an overview of
everything at once. The colors have no relationship whatsoever with colors used
in the models or BIMstorm overall maps in Google Earth. Maybe there could be
more of a relationship, or at some point certain use groups and colors could
correspond but for now, the selection is completely arbitrary. An explanation
of the color rationale and some examples of other color selection techniques
are written up here for now http://accuracyandaesthetics.com/1025
More information about the building models and architects will be
provided on what I'm currently calling a "Fact Sheet" to be developed
for each building after I talk with people at WDG. In general, the plan is to
have the OCCS11 and facility type large on the top, the code template running
down the left side, an image or two of the building model, then the WDG
discussion will center around pinning down:
Special Materials or Spaces
