PLANNING GRID
A module can be defined as a basic dimension which could for
example form the basis of a planning grid in terms of multiples and
submultiples of the standard module
All the above grids, being based on a basic module, are contained one
within the other and are therefore interrelated.
These grids can be used in both the horizontal and vertical planes thus
forming a three dimensional grid system.

for sizing of components requiring increment smaller than M
not for planning modules
Modular Component
A component whose coordinating sizes are modular.
Element
A part of a building or structure having its own functional identify, such as
a footing, a floor, a roof, a wall or a column.
Modular Element
An element whose coordinating sizes are modular.
Preferred Dimension
A dimension chosen in preference to others for specific purposes.
Preferred Size
A size chosen in preference to others for specific purposes.

boundary reference
coordinates the position of the
building components
determines the nominal size of
components
placement of component within
two Parallel modular coordinating
grids or planes so that it fills
the space or zone.
boundary grid
axial reference
coordinates the position of a
components by placing the
component so that the
middle-axis coincides with a
modular coordinating grid of
plane
axial grid
interaxial reference
coordinates the position and
dimension of building component
by a reference
flush reference
coordinates the position of components by
placing one surface of the component flush
on to a modular coordinating grid or
plane
